@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’m pretty sure I’ve seen criticism of the SSS’s faint vibration on at least one sports tech reviewer’s site, so I think this may not be a repair issue. I think the impulse is just so short that it barely has time to become discernible before it cuts off. @TELE-HO is probably onto something by saying it needs to be customisable.

@Bulkan Running.

@TELE-HO “it’s for sure not the best to run and only stare at the screen of course. that’s why I still need to get used to my 7 fields screen setup
But I do feel when I start taking it too easy, quick look at the dial indicator and I see that I’m getting out of a specific zone…”My issue is more at the other end of the spectrum; I often don’t notice when I’m going too hard and drifting into the next higher zone. By the time it occurs to me to check, I’ll be five beats over and have no way of telling how long I’ve been outside my target zone.
I think you’re right that it should be customisable. The motor likely isn’t as weak as it seems and if we could set all vibration signals to a longer duration everything would be fine. The manual lap signal, certainly, seems quite strong enough – but it’s also a lot longer than any of the automatic ones.

@RiphRaph said in Zone alerts on Spartan Sport:
I’m going too hard and drifting into the next higher zone
I know this from going uphills… I’m usually over the limit I aim for
Does Spartan also have this zone type screen? I have not used them yet but could imagine they help instantly to tell how long you’ve spent in each zone… do you know what screen I mean?
-
@TELE-HO it has also
-
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos What screen is this exactly? I know there’s a zone summary that shows up after you complete a workout. Is there another one for while the workout is still in progress?
-
@RiphRaph
It’s the intensity one you can see up here.
It should be already available in eg. default run sport mode -
@sartoric Yeah, thanks. That was posted a fraction of a second before I hit “Submit” on my question!
-
@RiphRaph
Yep, I had that suspicion
-
@sartoric Yes, it’s available in the Basic running mode. But I can’t see any way of adding it to any of my custom run modes.
-
@RiphRaph if you use the Suunto app sport mode customization should be there.
I think this is missing from MC sport mode customization
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos OK, that would explain it. I haven’t used SA for sport modes so far because I understand that would lock me out of additionally syncing to Movescount on the web.
-
@RiphRaph that is correct. So then please don’t use it if you depend on MC
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
…or switch the mindset to adventure mode, set it up in SA, forget about MC and start using QS
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Gotcha. No way am I voluntarily locking myself out of Movescount until they actually shut the platform down. It’s a large part of the reason I bought a Suunto in the first place…
-
@RiphRaph
…me too!! …but with my setup at the moment I must admit that I don’t miss it very much -
@TELE-HO I’m hearing good things about QS, but I understand the data gets stored on the Google cloud? I’m a bit leery of handing Google reams of biometric data in addition to everything they already know about me. Call me paranoid, but there it is…
-
@RiphRaph I wrote QS. The data are stored on Google but encrupted for my app only.
Now I don’t call you paranoid, I am on the same boat. Theoretically even if they wanted they should have to access my Google account etc. But also theoretically, that is possible
-
@RiphRaph Stay on MC. I think the alert / zone issue would be more minor than MC + SA etc.
