@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos finally suunto gives control for customers!!!

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Suunto 3 fitness swimming:

Regarding stokes and rate , AFAIK its recorded but the suunto app does not show it yet.

if I go to diary in my watch I can see strokes, rate and SWOLF unless SA is not showing them

@nikolavp did you try to see if you can find there (in the watch diary)?

[nikolavp]

I tried, the workout summary in the end doesn’t include them, basically making the whole custom workout meaningless to me.

I can use indoor workout with the same effect.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp that is because s3f was not focused on those. But hey things change.

I hope you are right. I read that they are not fragmenting the SW like some vendors are doing.

BTW I think that if suunto focuses more on exposing the data instead of doing graphics on top of it, it will beat the competition.

There are a lot of tools out there that can take advantage of the data, I can also write one of these. But not capturing/exposing the data is a deal breaker.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp they do capture and expose those via the .fit format.
The problem ATM is that the user of s3f does not have connection to mc that supports the .fit format.

But sa will within a few weeks support it so no worries. And you will see some interesting stuff

I cannot say more due to my NDA but wink.

[nikolavp]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos just pure awesomeness

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp in about 5 days I’ll be back home to my s3f.

Please remind to dig into the data for swimming. Perhaps I can give you an example.

(Sorry I have too many things to remember , I put reminder but perhaps I’ll forget)

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp hi!!!
Have you updated your s3f? I checked and sport mode customisation is there bro!

[nikolavp]

Should I be on the beta channel for these and if yes, how should I enroll?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp what is the sw version of your s3f?

[nikolavp]

It says 2.3.22 on the watch

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp that’s the latest. What suunto app version?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp and android or iOS ?

[nikolavp]

The app version is 3.37.1 android

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp aha. That’s the reason then. Go to the play store and search for the suunto app.

Scroll all the way down, and you should see a button that allows you to become a beta tester. Join the beta and after a few you will have an update to 3.43 I think.

Once you have the update installed on the watch view press the 3 dots upper right corner. You should be able to customize your sport modes.

Tell me how it went.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp also don’t forget to give permissions for sleep optimisation to the app so notifications always work now. (Just saying). We had to get an official google check to get that permission.

[nikolavp]

I don’t use the notifications because there is no way of filtering but it’s not that big of a deal for me.

The customizations are awesome, this enables so much more on the watch for me. Nice job guys

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nikolavp I think now for pool swimming you should be able to add stoke rate for interval (continues lanes) pace etc.

[nikolavp]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, I already created a custom workout and then tested it on the chair, will test it in a real pool later this week but I think it works.
