S+ Race pacer

Francesco Pagano

@Egika there doesn’t seem to be any such option on S9PP

@Francesco-Pagano read manual:
https://www.suunto.com/Support/Product-support/suunto_9_peak_pro/suunto_9_peak_pro/recording-an-exercise/using-targets-when-exercising/

there’s HR zones, pace zones and power zones.

for this you just set a pace target in your pre-start screen

true but unfortunately, not all activities include the ability to set the pace e.g. nordic walking

Walking allows me to set a pace intensity zone and I am sure Nordic walking dues too.

Egika

@Brad_Olwin really? for walking I only have HR zones… in Race and Vertical…

@Egika
You are night! Why did they do that?

OK I am wrong! I would record as a run and change in the app to Nordic walking. I will bring this up.

Long waited app. A few days ago I was thinking about ‘pacer pro’ analogue and here it is. Can’t wait to use it on a race!
PS: pace zone as a target could be used as a pacer only after editing specific zone in the watch and narrowing it to desired pace. Not as comfortable as pacer app (I guess)

How do you change the settings (distance/duration) for this app. They are locked out in the android app.

herlas

@forde-mic you have to until the sync of the S+ app finishes for it to allow you to edit values. Wait for some secs, once the watch is syncing message disappears, you can edit values.

forde.mic

@herlas thanks, I’ve tried that, but the values just seem to greyed with no option to edit them. Clicking on them does nothing.

isazi

@forde-mic which watch?

herlas

@isazi not sure if this behavior was there since the beginning and just becomes a waiting problem when the the lists of S+ apps you have is not short, but I’ve noticed that when I enter My Sports Apps section, it lists my apps in vertical order and it’s refreshing each buy one one in sequence from top to bottom, until it reaches the bottom, that’s when I can edit the Race Pacer app for example.

Maybe the app was never meant for the S9P but I cannot even select it in the watch after installing, let alone change values anywhere…

isazi

@DF130 not sure watches with the old interface support this particular app

isazi

@herlas right now the sync is very slow because of the apps, but I hope this will be solved in the future

forde.mic

@isazi S9

isazi

@forde-mic not sure if the S9 supports these settings via the app, but I believe that @Raimo-Järvi should know

Raimo Järvi

@isazi S9 and S9P don’t support settings and therefore Race pacer app should not be enabled for them in SuuntoPlus store. We will fix that, I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

I wish the setup was more flexible. With hours, minutes and seconds. With current configuration how can I set overall time like 30 mins 40 seconds? -> 30.33 mins? And 30 mins 27 sec? Not pretty obvious and easy to use.
Also, it would be nice to see km by km pace plan after calculation

herlas

@false were you able to test this? Wondering if we really have to do the math for the seconds like that
