Winter thriathlon

@DRezvoff
If you have to do the switching up to 50 times, as in ÖtillÖ Swimrun World Championship on Monday, it becomes way too time consuming. One button press is the only reasonable solution, or auto detect swim/run.

@Egika
Are two… I have only seen the first…

Bulkan

@Egika I don’t find it in the beta version of iOS

DRezvoff

Up!

developers!!!

When to wait for the update with the winter triathlon?!
I lose a lot of time in the transit zone to switch modes in the multisport!
In Garmin watches you can simply create the Winter triathlon mode itself, in Suunto App and in hours it is impossible!

In the championship of the city temp -22С in particular, in the mode of multisport clock recorded only running mode, and then GPS, bicycle and running skis switched off - the track didn t record, only pulse!

winter triathlon - race

Up…

Developers!
more than a year has passed, there are no changes! WINTER SOON, WINTER TRIATHLON! And nothing has changed - the winter triathlon mode cannot be done!.. :((((

Bulkan

Looks like swimrun and winter triathlon don’t have their own sports mode. It can be done with multi sport activity but racing is not ideal.

that’s the problem! only through Multisport mode! SuuntoApp winter triathlon mode cannot be created…

@DRezvoff hold top button for multisport

I know that! It’s not convenient in a race! And there is no sports division in the application to analyze the start.

up…
Soon winter, and the “Winter Triathlon” mode cannot be done… :(((

@дмитрий-резвов well, movescount allowed custom multisports. Don’t understand why this feature is missing in suunto app.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@tomas5 no it didn’t.

Tomas5

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos than what is this? You can choose multisport or predefined triathlon and you can switch from run, cycle, swim to any other combination from your sport modes defined.

Tomas5

Any of preselected can be changed to other custom modes. And there are other usefull features of movescount that was abandoned during transition to suunto app too.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@tomas5 that was for ambits. Spartans and up don’t have this config as multisport is configured on the fly. Just keep the sports in the short list and voila. You can switch easily.

Tomas5

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos well ambit has both possibilities. Unfortunately looks like Ambit series was best in terms of sport feature and since than there is lot of simplification in important features.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos multisport is cool but I guess it’s not exact replacement for thriathlon (duathlon, aquathlon, winter thriatlon n etc.) because thriathlon has transitions and multsport is not.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@tomas5 afaik ambit does not have both. You needed to set that up.

I wont argue about transitions and there is a lot of talk about this here.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos directly from Ambit 2 user manual:

Multisport training

Suunto Ambit2 offers multisport support; you can easily switch between different sports and constantly see relevant data during your exercise. You can change the sport manually during the exercise, or create a multisport mode in advance in Movescount and download it to your Suunto Ambit2. You can set an interval timer in Movescount for each sport mode included in the multisport mode. The interval timer restarts when the sport changes.

https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Support/Product-support/suunto_ambit2/suunto_ambit2/multisport-training/using-preconfigured-multisport-mode/

And transitions are done by Unspecified sport mode. It was already preconfigured in movescount.

PS: I don’t write this to make a point or prove I am right, I just want to let you know that there is no need to invent this feature from scratch. Suunto already has some analysis for this feature maybe in archives . And this feature worked well back than without any issues.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@tomas5 the new multi-sport way was the one kinda accepted by many at Suunto and not only as it does not need to be preconfigured as a sport mode ie :

multisport 1 , 2 ,3

Currently its works more seamless. And based on that data we moved forward. Arguably a small amount of people that configure things might not like it as perhaps they prefer to create something like a predefined set of sports. To be clear: You can do exactly the same without any configuration now with your S5. The configuration would only help on creating a sport mode and sorting the sports.

I have spent quite some time here talking here about this (if you search there are tons on discussions with the same arguments), so I ll leave this alone, since I can understand that some people need this in detail preconfig soooo much
