Guide target zone alerts
-
+1 in wanting the ability to have alerts for out of zone (HR in my case) at different levels according to my Structured Workout.
I was reading the SV instruction manual and saw the ‘alert’ screen for regualr alerts (in standard training), and it would be perfect to have that lined up with the rates set in the structured workout.
Yes please, Suunto!

@far-blue This has been asked for multiple times in the past and by field testers as well. Hopefully it is on a to do list.

Curious. I had a Forerunner 955 before, and I missed the option to disable this alerts. If Suunto implements it, it would be nice to have the option to enable/disable; It can be a bit annoying to receive alerts continuously.

Really surprised that this functionality is not available. As an old, but newbie runner, this is really useful.

@Brad_Olwin Remember to make it optional if someone will implement this. I hate this beeping stuff. Use case: I get a workout from my coach. I don’t want to have beeping. I like it like it is today. It’s the opposite in the garmin forum: People their want to disable that beeping stuff but it’s not possible! So annoying!

@RightNow Really? I have a Garmin Forerunner and I didn’t think the alerts were ‘de-selectable.’
By the way: on the Polar Vantage V3 that I have, the voice alert for this is a real pain - especially if you are running and listening to something. To have a voice saying: ‘you have now entered zone 3…you have now entered zone 2…you have now entered zone 3’ when you are on the border of two zones is really annoying

@wakarimasen Yes. They are so annoying on the garmin that I think they are not usable at all. That’s why: don’t destroy the Suunto solution. Because it’s a silent solution. I can always look on my watch to check if I am on track without beeping. Not possible with a garmin

I have a Garmin 955 Forerunner and can set a custom alert for an activity on the device. Under the run activity I have an alert when my heart rate reaches my aerobic max level.
I am looking at Suunto because of the battery life and large face but would need a custom alert for my heart rate training. -

I am 100% with you and personally do not want notifications as I train solely on RPE. When doing workouts I will feel better some days and have a stronger effort relative to RPE, when in heavy training blocks the opposite may happen. I think setting absolute values for pace/HR/Power is not realistic nor necessarily helpful for training. This is why I am using ZoneSense for most of my training except for short Intervals. The last set of Tempo Intervals I did was perfectly aligned with ZS.

@Brad_Olwin This to do list is not visible somewhere?
I assume this feature is easy to implement so that in the span of two years this could have been solved. -

I assume this feature is easy to implement so that in the span of two years this could have been solved.It depends on priorities, I am not a Suunto employee so I am not aware of what priorities are. Frankly my personal opinion is I do not want out of zone alerts. It is easy to see on the S+guide whether or not you are in zone. Garmin watches annoyingly keep beeping/buzzing the entire time someone is out of range, which I hate. I train by RPE anyway so fixed HR/Pace/Power zones I do not use.
