Question for running watch users
Discussion
I've had a couple of Garmins, now have a Wahoo Rival which I'm happy with.
My question - on any of the running watches, is there the ability to have a live estimated finish time displayed on your watch? eg I'm half way through my 5k, time is 15 minutes so far, current pace is 28 minute 5k pace, so my estimated finish time would be 29 minutes?
I think I'd find that pretty useful but does it exist on any of the watches?

Certainly some Garmins do this
