Workout Segment Pace is consistently inaccurate

I hope that Apple developers read these things.


I have consistently seen my watch measure ridiculous running paces like 1'15", 1'33", 1'48" at the very onset of a new segment (as soon as I double-tap the screen to start a new segment). These are arbitrary numbers, I'm not sure exactly what they were, but I do know that these extremely fast paces immediately start increasing as the segment rolls along and settle out at about 7-10 seconds faster than my actual pace. I know this because I check the "segment pace" right before I end the segment, then tap to end the segment. The segment summary screen that is displayed immediately after shows that I am consistently 7-10 seconds slower than what was being displayed an instant before.


This leads me to conclude that every time I start a new segment during a running workout, the default start pace is something equal or close to 0'00", and then it gradually increases to match the pace that I'm currently running. I believe that this creates the 7-10 second pace disparity that I'm consistently seeing at the end of the segment.


It should be that the new segment should just start with the current pace that I am running and then average out the rest of the segment based on how my pace fluctuates in real-time.


I don't know if there's a workaround under the current build. Please advise. If there's no fix, there better be a solution to this bug by the next build update.


Thanks.
