This is a bug with the Garmin 50 and, according to the Garmin forums, the Garmin 310xt. I find it totally unacceptable, and wonder if you could fix it with the BT uploads.

Here's the thing. The Garmin elapsed time includes stops. So, if I hit stop and then restart during my run or ride, i.e., whenever I have to wait for traffic, the Garmin actually creates a lap equal to the time I have stopped. It does not record heart rate during that time, but it does record time.

I recently did a 9.1 mile run. The time showing on my Garmin50 was 1:29 when I was done. But the time on Garmin and BT show 1:31 because it counts the stops. I've just been fudging the numbers on my BT log after I do the garmin upload. I hate doing that, tho! Would be nicer if the upload process could fix this bug.

Anyone have a Garmin 305 or 310XT to verify if it's the same?

The splits look like this on both Garmin and BT

The 310 doesn't do that.  I did a run Thursday night where I had to hit stop on my Garmin to wait out some lightning.  It only uploaded the actual run time.

The 305 doesn't do it either.  I was out for 3 hours on my bike yesterday with a couple of stops and the workout time from the Garmin came out as 2:40

Thanks, that's good to know that the 305 and 310 don't do it. I do want to upgrade at some point to get the GPS data.
