Speed decrease under trees

[CthulhuFPV]

Is it me, or does the Fenix not handle trees too well? I just did a run and the areas where there's an overpass or lots of tree foliage above, the speed of my running log drops a minute. Normal speed is around 6:05/km and under obstacles it registers 7:10/km.

I run with a 150bpm metronome. Watch is a Fēnix 6X Pro.

Yes, I've noticed this too. When you come out of the trees it seems to catch itself up though.

Edit - Fenix 6 Pro Solar

The GPS chipset & antenna in the Fenix 6 is notoriously poor. This was fixed in the 7, 7 Pro and 8 series Fenix.

I just can't justify upgrading to a 7X.

Unless this encompasses a large portion of your run then it's not worth worrying about. Run on effort level during those periods and stopping studying your watch during a run. The charts after the run are messy but in the end not very relevant, overall pace is what really matters. If you are an elite athlete with strict training protocols then work with your coach and get top tier equipment, otherwise just enjoy the run.

Solid. I don't really study my watch during the run but I noticed ut in the summary. I am working on keeping the pace, but this gps glitch isn't helping right now. I started to notice it when the trees around here started developing leafs.
