@freeheeler makes sense.
But as a hiker, why would you use S+ Climb? -
@egika I can answer that: to estimate vertical speed in specific difficulty regions for a better time anticipation in the future. That’s at least what I’ve been trying to do XD
-
@dmytro
yep
-
@dmytro I must admit I have never used this feature. Is there any difference to the various vertical speed data fields available in sport mode customization?
t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,

@egika it’s not for in workout, it’s for post workout.

@dmytro
aaah, see… that’s why I am not a member of the club you do not talk about
… didn’t even notice that 
-
@freeheeler what do you mean XD?
-
@egika you get automatic laps. And you get a grade data field too

@dmytro
because I honestly don’t remember the difference of the displays in SA when you had hill climb activated or not…
but I find it somehow useful in the activity already. hill grade, number of climbs etc… of course it would be best if we could see the avg vertical speed since the last climb. the “now” vertical speed doesn’t tell me much to be realistic… the avg for a consecutive climb has much more information.living sideways

OK. Thank you. Automatic laps I knew, but for hiking don’t see the use case. Grade is definitely an extra - still need to learn what I would do with it on a hike.
But this is definitely a personal thing.
Thank you all for your explanations!t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,

@egika for example, how comfortable you are while climbing/scrambling a section of a certain steepness? I don’t care for the grade myself though.
-
@freeheeler lap avg vertical speed is available as a standard data fields (with with manual laps though - but if you are not doing hill repeats it should be possible to press that lap button ;))
-
@egika
I usually have auto laps activated for skitouring and I have one datafield for laps avg vertical speed in m/h… this is somehow what I would like to see. but of course laps are every km and this never matches with flat and steep sections on the tour… but gives at least an indication.
I tried manual laps… but skitouring is so much more than having the eyes on the watch. sometimes I completely ignore it and hence wouldn’t push the lap button… and of course it would be cumbersome since I am one of the biggest lock button fans around here
edit: @Egika see, same thoughts
-
@freeheeler try the S+ hill climb. It will do the laps for you (they are not 100% precise, but better than nothing), and you can see the average speed in your custom screen.

@isazi
ah really? does it do the laps from S+ and hence show my pre-set avg vertical speed triggered by S+??
didn’t know that
…the only drawback: only one S+ at a time
-
@freeheeler which ones do you usually use on ski tours?

Me: weather
-
@egika hahaha, alright, non baro device here - what’s up with weather?
-
-
@dmytro
burner… but mainly out of curiosity on long term.most values from hill climb are in my customized screens already, BUT since I’ve learned something today, I need to reconsider
…and wish for multiple S+ screens to be active in parallel
