I love my Suunto watch thanks! As always, people will want things that aren’t available and for me that’s two things - Watch faces with larger, more readable complications. It’s not hard to do, just increase the size, test it on people like me, then add it to the list. Building a cloud architecture to store watch settings in a granular fashion so for example I could do a clean install but only restore routes and custom sports - which is a much more complex undertaking! My only other criticism is that I don’t have enough money to buy a Vertical 2

@Olaf-Gottschalk btw: I don’t understand, in which way it makes sense to count steps of an activity… Is it a training goal to finish the activity with maximum or minimum number of steps?

@2b2bff well, yes, that is exactly how it worked before last update. I can confirm, that after last watch update (suunto Race), the watch stopped to count intervalls. the whole session is recorded as one interval with total time. So the swim pace is screwed, because the time spent in rest between intervals is counted as swim time. And what is even more weird is that, very rarely, some interval is counted. for example, a do 4x300m intervals with 20s rest. everything is counted as one 1200m long interval. then I swim for 50m easy and voila, 50m interval is counted. it’s random and there is no way how to make the watch to count intervals correclty. in the new firmwre. As I mentioned, it used to work correcly in previous firmware.

@graciti In its current form (separate service and app), this isn’t possible. The watch maintains only one connection. SuuntoApp disconnects. For this reason, I don’t use this service.

@fritzbt2013 I suggested a similar approach in other discussion threads. I agree that zoomed in elevation profile already provides some of Up Ahead functionality. I also fully agree that showing elapsed time on this screen is redundant because we can see it elsewhere. As you said, it would be a great solution to show the waypoint name along with the distance to that waypoint, and the distance should be in larger font and easier to read! The name should be of the last waypoint visible on the profile, so it is in sync with the distance. And we can already see remaining ascent and descent to that waypoint, which makes Suunto implementation even more functional than Up Ahead. The only missing part is to make it more usable!

@Mattg576 it’s great how you could configure Suunto watches for different “use cases”

API for App development would be an awesome feature. For example, found Tennis score app, but it’s useless for actual game (scoring system is wrong). Can’t contact devs directly, can’t fix it myself. Some sort of github with open source and community help would solve the problem and would not hurt stability. System level access to developers is risky, but for simple apps with open source - I see no harm. Such customization would greatly improve trust in a company and add actually useful stuff for all of the users.

@MarkusG big problem of our modern society where everyone can just spread unverified and anecdotal information! Better rely on verified data from independent researchers and experts. But apparently there is too much money to make with just claiming that you have developed something special. Garmin is the worst example with their “body battery”, “heat/height acclimation”, “Real-Time stamina”, “endurance score”, “training readiness”, “running tolerance”, “race predictor”. Nothing of that has ever been scientifically validated that it actually works and every good coach and athlete can do more accurate race predictions

@porter297 in another thread someone recently recommended to (ab)use structured workouts for this.

@Maria-Mette-Kronhoff It is working. Install it on your watch with the Suunto App, select Padel mode and the app is there.

@mando Thanks for the link, I hadn’t actually seen that thread, but it matches with what I noticed. So it really does seem to be related to a new firmware version that enabled this, and not the Suunto App Nolio. I just hope they’ll add an option to configure it, because it’s honestly quite annoying.

@smopi Yes, I have the Suunto Vertical too. I had this problem with previous FW versions as well. But only now have I gotten around to writing this post.

@Rinbo71 I see! thanks for sharing - sounds like an issue with your chest strap, I’d say. In my case ZS doesn’t work at all with FW 2.44.

Small +1 from me.
