@Shrek3k said in Does the Suunto Vertical need a Cardio strap?: @Tami999 I am with @Brad_Olwin … OHR works excellent for me with all activities for the last years, be it running, hiking, cycling, Nordic walking, swimming, etc. But that does not seem to be the case for everyone. And although it works perfectly for me: I like ZoneSense, and that means using a belt. Recommendation: try it - and never underestimate how important the right position of the watch and tightness of the watch-strap is. [image: 1754732357099-1000000384.jpg] That’s photo I found from march from very light jogging on theeadmill when I started adventure with running and prepare it for more intense. Anyway I think also software put his 5 cents because I think at the beginning 2 years ago my Vertical that I used worked very good during activities like cycling and noticed these drops after some time (could be after update). I also remember I could take off watch without pause activity, see it’s losing contact with my skin, put it on hand again see 40 HR back than after 5 mins of running - Boom! back to 140+ without doing anything . I always got watch on the same spot above wrist bone, with same tight. I tested different straps, spot on hand or just loose/tight strap Now I running with belt and it keeping 170-180 almost all the time without any drops.

On the Athletic watch face seconds are always visible. Possible one or two others faces also.

@duffman19 ahhh ok… thanks for information. I am gonna try this

Thanks, @Squirrel. I’ll give it a try!

@Egika Yes! Adding tides to the weather widget is the way to go!

@Sascha-Domres Thank you for your remarks. I don’t want to risk falling down when running while looking at the map. At the same time I want to keep the stats of my run as correct as possible. If I stop to pan the map and plan my next move, I don’t want the watch to record the activity as if I was running. This makes the map a bit pointless if I can’t work with them when an activity is paused. I hope Suunto will come with new firmware to enable panning the map while an activity is paused. I support your suggestion to extend the zooming possibilities. Is there any special thread or group where people could make such suggestions and Suunto developers would see what are the most poignant concerns? I hope they visit the forum anyway, but I’d expect a special thread/voting for the most preferred requests. Thanks.

@deserthike20 Thank you. At first this was exactly what I did and it didn’t help, unpairing the Suuntoapp only from the watch. However, I was in the end lucky enough to use an OTG reduction to connect a USB mouse to the old mobile phone. With that and a lot of patience I somehow unlocked the screen, launched the Suuntoapp and unpaired the watch. No records lost, job done, relief. This discussion thread could be archived.

@isazi Resume function would also be nice in the case of a sudden freeze/reboot of the watch. A long time ago I had a Garmin and during a workout it crashed (happened only once). After restart I could simply resume the activity and no data was lost.

Now it’s constantly in the 60-70% range. I have no idea why. Would be great to have insight how this is calculated and if the algorithm is different compared to S9PP

@markeczzz interesting observation. Do you have an idea what could be different for the watch when you are climbing? The watch is basically trying detect the capillary blood flow. Bad measurements could come from a too tight strap (blood flow interrupted), a to loose strap (watch shaking and thus variation in the optical path), cold temperatures (capillaries have less blood), using poles (introducing rythmic vibrations of the watch), tatoos, etc. What parameter (within arm/watch) are changing when you climb? Maybe you can observe anything?

@taziden I am impressed thanks it works… I had a comma in the name of the network, after deleting this comma the network is now accepted… THANKS

@smopi said in Personalize sport modes: It is my first post, so let mi say “hello” to whole Suunto Community! @Mitch9 , I had such issue once. I had to uninstall Suunto App and, as I remember I restarted my SV too. This bug never reappeared again. Reinstalled SA more than once, but didn’t help. I hoped for new SV update. Now I sent logs.

@zhang965 And how old you must be in order to have this value stable?

@mikekoski490 excellent

Hallo, ich habe mir die Suunto Race gekauft. Dort ist es leider auch so, dass wenn die Uhr ausgeschaltet wird, die Schritte nicht auf 0 gesetzt werden. Da ich die Uhr nicht täglich benutze, sondern nur für Aktivitäten ist das ein No Go und die Uhr geht zurück

@balalaykajazz thank you for the feedback! Have a nice day!

@Martin-Vrska not possible from the watch

Okay. Found it. Thanks! https://www.suunto.com/de-de/sports/News-Articles-container-page/boost-your-hill-training-with-suunto-plus-climb/ Since I trained in relatively flat terrain and the climb-app needs 10 meters of ascent to start a climb, it looked somehow random to me.

@herlas oh my! So a 10 year old watch is still filling gaps in a new gen €800 watch.
