@Praxyd You can activate swimtimer Suunto Plus app. While pool swimming, it generates a screen where it shows : distance and elapsed time of the last swim stretch and the rest time since the end of that strech. It acts as an auto lap in pool. Personnaly, I count distances myself (with help of chrono) and wish I cant deactivate autolapse and pause because I do a lot of kick and drills wich most of the time stop the time on Suunto. I prefer to push stop myself and start a set myself. Maybe you think more about the rest screen of the Garmin swim app. Wich I did like very much. I also miss a lot the 3 second warning when pause button was pushed to reststart an interval. So when I finished a set I pushed pause button, the watch paused, started a customizable pause screen in black with time of rest elapsing. To restart a set, I pushed pause again, a 3 second decount started and a normal screen appeared. Total time never stopped. But that was on Garmin. I wouldnt go back, I love V2, but its swim app has alot to improve IMO.

@KAMON does Garmin show the others on the watch?

@Kamal Of course and it has been suggested numerous times, I’m sure. Stair climbing should be a separate sport profile in the watch because currently I have to use Aerobics profile to avoid getting nonsense distance and other indoor running metrics. Then sync it to the app and change the activity to vertical running, so I can add actual elevation gain and number of steps. Probably same can be done using other profiles, but none of that is ideal. Stair climber profile should record/show number of steps, step cadence (should be easy even if the hand is resting on the handle as there is still plenty of subtle wrist movement for accelerometer to read), and elevation gain! (from steps where you can set custom step height under exercise options, usually 20 cm). Setting the step length could be optional to calculate distance as well.

@Arju-Ambin this is a smartwatch feature, which Suunto doesn’t give a flying **** about. Suunto cannot even keep up with sports features. It’s all very sad, yet, I completely agree with you. This is part of DND mode.

@Miroslava And another one for rowing.

@TomerB Yes please! Totally agree!

@Ars-Vitae there are several teardowns of the Garmins to be found. Even the Fenix 8 Pro has the same SoC as the Fenix 8, Fenix 7 Pro and the Fenix 7 before. Fenix 6 Pro had an older one… Epix Pro is only the AMOLED variant of the Fenix 7 Pro.

@Brad_Olwin Thanks! I know it is a special need. but winter will be here before we know itand itll be back to zwift

@Steven-Hambleton This could help: https://www.suunto.com/partners/strava/

@Nathan-Engman What about this stopwatch S+app? [image: 1754934901438-screenshot_20250811_195352_suunto.jpg]

I guess you mean disable touch und just use buttons? At least with watches having crowns it would be possible. With Garmin there is an option I used all the time “Enable Touchscreen only in maps”. And with the Race S I hardly use the touchscreen apart from maps…

Yes, please add some funny watchfaces for Suunto 9 Baro! ️

Fully agree, when the track of the activity is a bit complex, the actual speed is way too high

I would also Like this feature. At the Moment the possibility to mark laps/rounds doesn‘t make sense.
