Meditation
-
Is it planned, or are there any rumors that with the next updates, exercises such as meditation or breathing could also be seen on Suunto?
-
I’m thinking that potentially there could be a good number of people that would use this ‘sport’ mode, I am curious as to what fields would be desired or required for meditation or breathing?
-
@Luciano-P I personally like and have used those on Polar and Garmin watches. It would be nice to have.
-
@MiniForklift sure! I do at least 40min a day of deep breathing
-
If you do a quick research you’ll find a couple of posts on this forum where someone suggested how to tweak existing sport modes for breathwork / meditation.
With the increased popularity of these activities, I think it would be a nice move from Suunto to offer dedicated sport modes on their watches. On the other hand, a friend of mine who has a top-end Garmin watch told me that he finds their functionality limited and not very useful. -
Why not use the yoga mode ? Or stretching ?
-
Yoga can be very intense, especially in forms like Ashtanga and Vinyasa, which combine challenging postures, deep breathing, and meditation. In pure meditation, the focus is more on breathing and stress levels.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I can tell you why I am not using yoga/stretching or any other custom activity for meditation
It synchronizes to apple health as activity, not as mindful minutes, thus not automatically counting in my habits/routine tracking apps+1 for dedicated meditation mode.

In reality, I discovered something rather fascinating. It is part of the Suunto guides inside the watch, the first guided exercise is breathing, you can follow this https://www.suunto.com/sports/News-Articles-container-page/emelie-forsbergs-top-7-yoga-poses-for-runners/
with the guide inside the watch.
It’s simply fantastic! thank you Suunto
