The flaw is this: If the timer is not running, and you are moving, the entire screen should flash or otherwise let you know that the ride is not being recorded. Almost everyone, at the beginning, will forget to start the timer now and then. Also, if you hit the start/stop button by mistake, the timer may stop and you won't realize it.
Does the 800 do anything differently in this regard?
There is the ability to "auto pause" once your speed fell below a certain level and auto resume once you took off again. You do have to make sure to press start at the beginning, and I'm sure some forget that, as I've done once, but that's not a big deal to me.
