@frederic As to can see from the structured workout wish you can’t yell loud enough

The suunto plus functions, which appear on the watch before starting a workout, could be chosen from the app.

And don’t have to be selected every time

Hello,

I’m asking myself (again ) i know the temperature on a BARO watch is given by a sensor in the watch who catch ambiant temp of the body is strap to your arm or if you let it 10-15min straped to your bag it will give you the ambiant temperature.

I don’t know if it’s possible to sync “local” temp via GPS like this everytime we record and activities it sync temp to. And if it’s possibile to sync it via the Suunto App ?
And maybe it’s able to show us 2 differents temp like “Body Temp/ Outdoor Temp”

@mff73 you can know the level of humidity in the air true the gps signal because thz more there is humidity in the air, the longer time it takes to transmit a signal and they used this system for meteo so maybe it’s possible.

At least it should be possible when you sync phone and watch.

check this : https://support.garmin.com/fr-FR/?faq=Mxs4eRXzRdAYJ0h7yyWaj9

So why we can’t do it ? it should have something to do. we can improve this watch, add interesting feature and more.

@g287-sf That link just shows that you can use GPS to pinpoint your location, which can then be used by other systems to locate your weather forecast. I think you’re asking for the watch to be able to do that, as opposed to using GPS to use the baro sensor on the watch itself to provide a temperature reading? These are very different things.

With watch to phone connexion, it is another story : phone locates by GPS, phone download meteo with internet (if there is network where you are) of estimated location, and transmit to watch. But GPS signal itself does not contain temperature.

@mff73 maybe i’m not realy clear in english. i’m ok it can’t work all the time especially in the mountains.
But a majority of the time we are in the city, at home or worst at work.
So i think we can synchronise trough the app.
One time per day offering a " bulletin meteo".
When your phone have converge it can update temperature each time you synchronise with it ?

Is my idea as bad as this ?

Mff73

@g287-sf
not bad idea, just with misundertanding at beginning you said ‘sync local temp’ via GPS
Ok, clear now, not bad idea, just it is a nice smartwatch option.

S7 should have this, and I really doubt S9 will have this. But dreams comes true sometimes.

Yes the S7 has a weather forecast tile, and can install some weather apps too.

I really could use a new watch face, simple but with height/ date/ time/ sunset-rise.
Like the outdoor one, but with 4-5 fields

TheGuyFromTheSummit

@theguyfromthesummit ahh I totally forgot:
One dedicated “slide” only for sunrise and sunset.
That these times are only shown by 1-2 watchfaces is annoying.

A function claimed for a long time has been integrated at garmin (14.72): an ULTRARUN sport mode to manage stops or refueling stations without stopping the stopwatch (time continues to pass) but by stopping the GPS (distance).
Choice between the optional functions either “Lap + Rest” or “Rest only”: by choosing this mode, after pressing Lap, the total elapsed time and the time spent in “stop” are displayed on the screen (this allows you to control the duration of the shutdown).
Press Lap again and the normal display resumes with the total time and the GPS reactivated.
Extra! When at Suunto?

is that what you are referring to ? https://youtu.be/IV3Vi0MoQOc?t=305

That sounds good on paper but when I go up a steep pass and walk slowly, will that be considered rest time too ?

@frederic and I would always forget to hit the buttons. The last thing I am thinking about at aid stations is to make sure I hit my lap button.

Usually the last thing I am wanting to during a race is hit any buttons!

@rob33 so according to DC Rainmaker it does not stop the recording, it is just a black screen with a timer while everything is still measured in the background. The advantage is that the time the black rest screen is on it will be classified as “rest” in Connect. It is more or less what happens with strength exercises.

I typically lock the screen during a race. I have 2 screens for ultras, very simple as well as a loaded route and altitude profile. On my phone or on a laminated paper I have a couple sets of aid station times for two different finish times, my best if all goes well and the cut off times. I usually save these as a wallpaper for my phone so if I turn my phone on I can see the aid stations, elevation gain loss between each aid, pace and time between aid stations.
I don’t pay much attention to the watch during the race, but typically look at where I could have done better after a couple of days.
