      @Raimo-Järvi No worries and no criticism, I mainly posted the update in case other people hit the same problem 🙂

        @Raimo-Järvi can you advise if it’s planned to update this awesome S+ app to include goal time input in following format hh:mm:ss?

        Even the links listed in the app description such as below, allow you to enter in such format to calculate the pace :

        Any comments would be greatly appreciated 🙂

          Just an update on this. After installing the app and finding it didn’t work I then found that it ‘broke’ syncing for all other suuntoplus apps. I was unable to update, add or remove guides or apps in any way. I tried a restart and it didn’t fix things so tried a factory reset. This basically ‘bricked’ the watch and I had to resort to using SuuntoLink to reinstall the firmware from scratch - which thankfully did work.

          Phew, what a nuisance! I hadn’t put that S+app to use yet, but I was thinking of doing so… and now I’ve had a scare.

          What model of watch did this happen to you? Or can it happen with any model (which I don’t think it can)?

            @enriqueescoms It should work fine for the S9PP, the Race and the Vertical. These watches support S+ apps with configuration options.

            The problem is with the S9P and S5P and similar older watches that don’t support configuration options in S+ apps. In my case it was with a S5P.

              Hi, I‘m testing out the Race Pacer and I‘m wondering, in which time format the input has to be. Example: I have a 3km run and want to finish at 15mins and 30 seconds. Will it be 15:30 or 15,5???

                  As things stand this app is useless. I mean is it as hard to let us input hours, minutes and seconds? Is it as hard to let us choose between positive, negative and even splits and then show the result right in the app? A lot of math to do?

                    I used it for a 23k 600m D+ trail race recently and it worked flawlessly. I put in even pacing for a 2:30:00 finish, used this with climb guidance and ZoneSense to finish in 2:30:22. Input the distance, the time I wanted to finish and an even split. I thought not useless at all.

                          IMO, the UX team has a lot to improve here.

                          1. You have to calculate finish time in minutes, it’s ok for 2.30 marathon but what about more complex time? I think it’s not a user’s job to convert 60 minutes in hour to decimals.
                          2. If app has links to third-party calculators why not to use their functionality? Just several options for positive split plus even. Where is negative? It’s quite obvious for race planning tools.
                          3. It’s also a good idea to show splits after calculation, otherwise it’s a total surprise for the end user. Of course there’s a workaround - you can check them in 3rd party planner, but…

                            I haven’t used it yet, but……I’m inclined to say ‘thanks’ to the developer and give it a go. Working out a time in minutes is really not that hard 🙂
