      @matthinsh You could use the snap to route feature for it. But it needs preparation to plan the 400m “route”. Would be nice to have an easier way

        @matthinsh you explicitly mention Suubto’s track and field mode in your post 😂

          @isazi Yeah I think this might be a language thing, I do say the track and field mode is just not useful for track. I don’t say I use it! 🙂

          But whilst we’re on the point… What do you think it’s actually for? Track and field would imply both field and… track. So what does anyone actually use it for, Long Jump? Hammer? Pole vault???

            @matthinsh just a categorization thing, for all the track and field subcategory of athletics 🙂

              @isazi Feel free to admit I’m right, that it’s pretty much useless and has no use on the track, or is that against moderator rules? hehe 😉

              Track mode on Coros is very practical, this is why I asked for it. Track and field mode is as useful as a chocolate teacup for track. It is also one of two sport specific features I really miss on Suunto, along with multiple bluetooth devices of the same type.

              Hopefully you are right and they are coming soon!

                @matthinsh Yeah, “Track and field” as an activity name is purely a language thing. Switching over to my native Swedish it has the proper “Friidrott” label [‘FreeAthletics’] for my country. As for a working “Tracks” running mode like the Coros and Garmin implementations who wouldn’t wish for that? I seldom run on a 400 metres track, but that is mainly because they have fenced off and gate-locked most of the tracks over the last decades, making them easily accessible only to schools and Athletics clubs.

                Suunto could call its “Tracks” version FusedTrackie if it smarts too much to follow in the competition ‘tracks’…

                When it comes to the original topic of this post, I strongly agree. In fact, the other day - as a newish buyer of the Race S - I answered a survey through the Suunto App, whether or not I would recommend the watch to other people (on a scale from 1 to 10) and give my reasons for the judgement. Setting a 6 on the scale I specifically pointed out I had deducted points because of the lacking sensor memory and rudimentary Structured Workout execution overall.

                  Will it ever happen the support of multiple bluetooth devices in a category?

                  😞 Ouch! While looking for info on the best watch for my needs I came across this, really? I had taken it for granted as every other brand I’ve used has it

                    Sure, you are so right that I propose we remove all the different cycling sports, such as gravel, mountain bike, indoor, because cycling is just cycling isn’t it? Who would ever categorize different sports, only moderators 😄

                      @isazi dude, I think you’re getting this all wrong. Chill out and accept that your argument is flawed, and that track and field is useless for what it describes itself as in English language. @Inge-Nallsson spells it out for you!
                      We’re all cool over here, and hopefully agree that having a proper track mode is a very good thing. Something Suunto hopefully offer soon, along with ability to connect multiple Bluetooth devices of the same type. Both are many years overdue

                        @matthinsh alright we’re going offtopic here so I stop, I guess I’ll not be able to communicate with you anymore.

                          @matthinsh understood now, my mind went to sport modes and wasn’t thinking specifically about the track mode feature 🙂

                          The track mode capability for Coros is pretty awesome actually

                          I used the original Apex, Vertix and eventually Apex 2. Their app is getting better but is nowhere close to functionality of Suunto app (ease of routes, route library, etc).

                          I do prefer their structured workouts set up and the online EvoLab is pretty cool (even if most of the metrics are pretty apparent rip offs of everything else which they claim to be proprietary but yet don’t release any sort of science to back it up)

                          Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.

                          User of pretty much every watch since the Ambit 3 Peak. Now back in the family w SV :)
