"The refreshed design makes it easier to start an activity and view stats while exercising. Pace, distance, time, and heart rate are all clearly visible on screen. As you approach a segment, a banner with the segment name and a circle indicator appear on the watch face. The circle updates in real time to reflect progress, and show whether you're ahead or behind your personal record."
"All users real-time updates when entering a Live Segment, plus additional haptic cues for starred Segments. Paid subscribers unlock additional features, including: Live performance tracking: See how your current pace compares to your personal record in real-time. Progress updates: A countdown shows exactly how much distance remains in the segment. Instant results: Immediately see how your completed segment time stacks up against your personal best."
