SuuntoPlus sports app suggestions
-
@isazi I understand only 10m depth? Is it hardware limit?
-
@etienneherr yes, it’s a hardware limit. The watch is still waterproof to 100m under water, but should not be used to reliably measure depth under 10m.
-
@herlas how many upvotes shall I give for it to make this dream come true?
-
@zadow I know, but we’ll keep pushing
-
S+ for anaerobic threshold in running is available to determine HR/pace zone 4/5 limit. Why not make S+ for determination of aerobic threshold in running such as Uphill Athlete Heat rate Drift test in combination with Training peaks Pa:HR ratio function for zone 2 upper limit. With both S+ apps user would have 2 tests for better definition of HR/pace zones for running.
-
I’d like to have a stair counter s+ for circuit traing or running profiles.
-
Would love for a Climb Pro type feature, where you upload a pre-planned route, and the major climbs are identified along the route. When in the activity, it would then tell you distance to start of climb, and when you’re on the climb how much further to the top and the gradient. This would be great for trail running, cycling and mtb. I suppose it could be done within the app, where waypoints are placed at the start and end of each climb.
-
@LitchiMonster this has been requested, but it is part of navigation, not the S+.

Wait a few days……

@Brad_Olwin Suunto people really know how to tease users
thanx for the hint. -
I created a structured workout yesterday for the first time, it worked great and better than I had hoped it would be. Well done Suunto
-
@MiniForklift Yeah, it really works well but in my opinion there should be some improvements, like a counter, to know in which interval/repetition you are and some improvements in font sizes.
I like how intervals.icu shows the info in the watch but it is way more easy to plan the interval inside SA. -
Ghost runner
A choice of the pace the ghost shall hold. Up to now the pace of the first km is taken or the last manual measured lap.
It’s a bit of work to create some manual laps on the treadmill with a personal pace for the next run, which are taken as pace for the next ghost runner session.
-
@pilleus that requires a change in how the apps work, so far they have no set parameters. But it may happen if there’s enough support. I think Suunto has this on the drawing board.
-
@pilleus I think this is very important

thanx for the hint.I assume you found the SuuntoPlus Decouple, it should work on your current watch.
-
@Brad_Olwin Some good stuff in the SStore, was having a look this morning. Definitely a few things I will be trying out
-
SuuntoPlus Forks
I would like to suggest an S+ enchantment of navigation. The whole screen is taken up the arrow, of where to turn if close to a fork or straight forward arrow if far from a fork. On the bottom distance until the upcoming turn is shown.
Arrow structure:
Suppose there is a crossing with two incoming roads and two outgoing roads - then the arrow shown on the screen should highlight the road one comes from and point to the road one should proceed along, while greying out the other two.
Similar animations should be done for an arbitrary number of incoming/outgoing roads.The only probably is, how can s+ pull out information about crossings from a gpx file. Well, I’m not sure, but maybe SA can intentionally save a couple of gpx points on each crossing to feed them to S+.
It sure can also be done in a better way, just sharing ideas.
-
I wonder if the SuuntoPlus sports app could be the mechanism that would allow Concept2 PM5 to broadcast data to a Suunto watch (similar to what Coros does) then it can save the stats to SA??
-
@TonyG maybe, it already works similarly with a couple of sensors. But I suppose you need to reach out to Concept for them to use the API to create an S+ app.
