Strava Live Segments

dombo

@sky-runner I check it today on bike. it works. when you are approaching nearest stared segment on Strava, you see distance to the start. at the beginning you see alert with PR time and KOM time. during segment there are 3 data fields: time in seconds/minutes ahead/behind; distance to the finish and speed. when finish, there is recap. what was measured by watch is the same as on strava.

@v-sacre I have it on Vertical… it is in Suunto Guides

v.sacre

@nseslija indeed it seems to be back 🤩

Is it watch specific? I cannot find it in Suunto Guides with S9B.

@MdzOtt Only Vertical at this moment

@dombo Thanks! What about the elapsed time? I guess for running segments it would show pace in place of speed.

What I am really interested in is how reliable the algorithm is. Garmin’s algorithm has a clear fault which makes the watch drop off a segment in a sharp turn even though the accuracy of Fenix 7 is excellent. In fact it drops not in the turn but when approaching a turn, shortly before it.

If there are any trail runners who use Strava segments, would be really interesting to hear their experience.

Strava segments and better map readability might be enough for me to push me from Garmin Fenix 7 to Suunto Vertical. If only it also had two additional features - Climb Pro and Up Ahead - then I’d buy it immediately!

@sky-runner The best you can do do is maybe order the watch and return it if segments don’t work the way you want it.

@MdzOtt S9B needs a firmware update first.

Anybody know how to get back strava live segment guides within the Suunto App, once it has been deleted before ? I don’t see it anymore in the guide list…

trailcafe

I don’t have Strava segments in the SA (iOS 2.24.2) for my Suunto Vertical (FW 2.25.48)

v.sacre

@trailcafe I had only cycling segments but I just delete it (it was an option). Now I don’t see cycling segments neither running segments…

isazi

@v-sacre first, try to add a new segment in Strava, and then go to Suunto App and refresh the guides. If this does not work, another trick that used to work in the past (cannot tell you if still works) was to go to Strava, delete all segments, go to Suunto App, refresh guides, go back to Strava, add segments, back to Suunto App, refresh again.

v.sacre

@isazi thanks for the explanation.
I have deleted everything and back on after. It worked partially for cycling segment. But nothing for running segments…

isazi

@v-sacre give it some more time, and the refreshing the guides list in the app before deleting the segments, after deleting them, and then again after adding them back is important.

trailcafe

@isazi I unstarred all my segments, refreshed S+ apps forth and back, starred segments, refreshed S+ apps again but no Strava Segements S+ app appears in the Suunto App S+ App section

isazi

@trailcafe I don’t have Strava premium so cannot test.

@trailcafe said in Strava Live Segments:

You mean the S+ guides section right, not the app? Segments are implemented as guides, not apps, so you cannot find them there.

trailcafe

@isazi oh ok, my fault. Thank you.

@isazi
After I followed all your advice, i can’t add Strava Live Segment in my Suunto Guide’s.

I can’t understand what is the problem.

Are you sure SLS is back to all ?

v.sacre

@isazi it worked properly for Cycling segments but nothing for Running segments.
Can you confirm it is two separate guides ? In my memory it is but I am not very sure about it.

Any idea why I only see cycling segments ?

It is actually not them I want to have but running segments. For cycling, I use a garmin edge.
