@cosme.costa yep, also the audio queues.

Doing a long run and trying to stay in green zone is a pain when you have to keep lifting your wrist.

@cosme.costa Well said! And, I have been asking since before ZS release to bake into the outer ring. So have other testers……we will see.

@timecode Same problems here. Another prob is that I never reach vo2max zone. Tried all case while running.

Sportsfreund

@Sportsfreund ZoneSense is still in the development phase. So far, it’s unusable, at least for me. Furthermore, the incomprehensible values in the watch never match those in the app.

@6iovanni said in Suunto ZoneSense:

ZS is not only based on HR and also depends on how your current and past baseline is. Have you trained enough in the past in the aerobic zone? Did you give ZS time to stabilize at the beginning of the session?

Is this true? Does ZoneSense keep a running baseline from previous days? if so, is that baseline averaged or weighted in some way, or is it just point-to-point? I couldn’t find an answer to this in the documentation. If my ZoneSense baseline is persistent from day-to-day, does this get transferred to other watches that are paired with the app?

James Eastwood

@atoponce yes it builds a baseline from regular easy efforts, it’s covered in the FAQs. I don’t know about the multiple watches question.

For me ZoneSense is really promising, but it feels like an alpha product.

Hi @atoponce,

FAQ My workout did not seem to be in “right intensity”, what could be the reason?

Each workout you do will impact how your personal ZoneSense measurement works. The normal easy aerobic level measured with DDFA is saved to your watch & personal profile.

Hello all !
I use COROS Heart Rate Monitor, it’s optical captor Wearing on the arm. The precision is good. the Zonesense application doesn’t work with it ? but monitoring yes !
an idea why ?
Thanks !

@Bouli you mean the HR estimation good? OHR only estimate, do not measure, ZoneSense operates with HRV and needs as a mandatory prerequisite a belt that provides R-R data, this can’t be taken from OHR.

Bouli

ha… ok ! thanks for the answer
