Steps not being tracked when activity tracking
-
Hello community,
I’m a new Suunto Vertical user, and am facing an issue that I’m very surprised and disappointed by. I’m a regular member of a HIIT gym, and I started activity tracking my HIIT workouts using the circuit training sports mode on the Suunto. However once I stopped the activity tracking, I noticed that my steps were not counted at all during the workout! I ran more than 2 miles on a treadmill and none of those steps were counted.
Seems like a pretty basic functionality that steps should be tracked while activities are being tracked.I also tried adding all distance metrics to the circuit training custom sports mode and still no luck.
Please help if you have any advice. Thank you in advance!

@Rohit-Ravindran I had the same issue today, any chance you figured out a solution/workaround?

@cpinky It a very good Feature. For example a 10k rowing. With Garmin there where set about 1000 Steps. But I do not steps while rowing. Suunto stoped Stepcounting while Nonwalk activity. A so it is very ok.

@Rohit-Ravindran Have you considered recording the treadmill run as a separate Treadmill activity? That’s what I always do on my gym day - I start with a 1-2 mile warm-up on treadmill and record that separately. Then I record the rest of the gym session as Weight Training.
But I wouldn’t be opposed to always recording steps on more sports. I guess the problem is where to draw the line. There are a lot of sports like cycling, skiing, or water sports where steps should definitely not be recorded.
