Faulty Watch, or Just Slow ?

Into the park again this morning and decided on doing 12ks all up that included a 4k warm up then 1k hard, 1 k easy x 4. The 1st & 3rd ks on the same stretch of the park as was the 2nd &4th.
Armed with the new(ish) GPS Watch and after a lap warm up it was straight into the 1st rep, Felt i was travelling OK on a beautiful Autumn morning but was surprised when i saw a 3.58 recorded. A further k recovery and the 2nd wasn't much quicker,
Now i know I'm not in career best form at the moment but surely i was travelling faster times then what this watch was telling me for today ???????
The 1k reps were, 3.58, 3.51, 3.55, 3.52, recoveries were around the 5 min mark.
Jeez what with the pin flying out yesterday, dodgy times and satellites today .......... not sure of this watch at this stage.
It could end up being on eBay by the end of the weekend, if it doesn't get its act together.

12ks all up in 54 mins - average 4.34 pace.

Will be out running long tomorrow with Kanser in and around the park, not been done for a few weeks now but will be worth his carry on if the 'Good Wife' gets the Bacon & Eggs on the go at the conclusion :)

Cheers
