      @moe67er include me as well, but that does not give a reason to flame your product with a new product coming out.

        It’s true that we all knew the S9 was missing these features but somehow I still feel cheated. For sure I am disappointed to see these features coming to a cheaper watch. Sure hope to see them soon on my S9 baro as well. I’ve been a Suunto user for years but all these recent things like moving from Movescount to SA (which lacks very important things) makes me wonder if I should go for another brand next time.

          Come on dude, nobody will flame a product.

          We just consider it as a joke as missing features from flagship model.

              Given that suunto 5 has licensed firstbeat features, I would be surprised if spartan watches get any sort of hrv, vo2 max or any analysis based on readily available watch data via SA or fw updates in the future. It is just not profitable. Easier to sell almost identical new models with these features. (which are nothing new in competitor watches…).

                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos true. I still think stress based hrv is potentially very useful for athletes, and shouldn’t be featured in just a few models given that the data exists for most watches.

                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is there any place on this forum or some other forum where we can open topics and feature requests but for watches, not SA? So users can upvote requests in similar manner

                        @Dušan-Ković I could allow that and its fine, but atm the purpose of this forum is not it so I am not sure if it will serve more as a placebo. And that would not be nice.
                        I would not like people to go and vote and then have high hopes.

                        Get what I mean?

                          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yup, I understand. It would need to be an official place for that stuff. So if users vote for something it would be forwarded to Suunto.

                            Or like on the Polar Vantage something that detects the contact of the skin so that the 24/7 hr consumes less battery if the watch is not worn?

                            I’d like if it could be that, but on my Trainer, if I remove it and let it on a still surface without turning off 24/7 HR, I will see it flashing regularly…
                            Also the metal dot position close to the protruding HR does not make for good contact with the skin, unless you wear it so tight that the HR monitor digs into the skin…

                              Suunto is the only company where the top end watch has less features (whether good or bad it is another discussion) than every other phone in its lineup (3,5).
                              Now, imagine they release s10 with those features…

                                  Hi everyone

                                  Hope that Suunto 5 wristband will work with Spartan Trainer (which is no longer available since several months, I fear the day when the wristband of my Trainer will break !)

                                    @Brad_Olwin sure! Did you compare your training plan with the one that offer the watch?

                                      @suzzlo The Training Plans on the watch are best, I think for individuals wanting to achieve better overall fitness and there are three options available. If one already trains more than 5-7h per week I do not know how effective the plans might be. For me, I think the plan could help me boost fitness in the short term but my training volume is very high (typically 14h-15h per week) and the plan does not tailor well for me as the plans volume is much lower. As I said before, if one is attempting to improve overall fitness the plans should work well.

                                          @Brad_Olwin could be good option for me… And proposed workouts are focused just on running, or there are stretching, core, bike, swim…? And always raw or more elaborated (intervals)?
                                          I imagine they are based on HR, aren’t they?

                                          Thx!

                                            @Brad_Olwin Hey I am also interested in training plans on the watch. So for someone who is occasional runner (cca 3 hours/week) and looking for some guidance to improve fitness, these plans are OK ? Can you define targets (e.g. run 10 km distance in certain period ) within training plans ? Can you compare these plans to other training plans from TP, Garmin, Polar ? Thank you for your thoughts.
