Count lap in Structured intervals
-
Hi all,
- I made a interval run, exam: 10 mins warm up + 10 x (400m Z4 + 200m Z2) + 10 mins cooldown.
- When I đo it, Watch đon’t show I’m running at which lap. So pls show how can i know which lap I’m in.
Tks alot

Been discussed countless times in the past. Not sure this is really a priority for Suunto. In my opinion they seem to have built the structure for implementation but left it as is. Same goes for out-of-zone warnings - no beeps or vibration. I don’t really get why these seemingly simple things are still absent today.
But if you look closely this has been the case with many updates Suunto has done. Maps - cool add but lacking names and routes guidance is pathetically and shamefully bad. Swimming - still can’t do drills. Sensors - still just the one per type. I am sure there are people here that just say they don’t use it but it deviates from the argument that a feature or in fact many features are just half baked.
Maybe by the next UTMB, when Suunto releases a new watch they can also piggy back some long-overdue updates

Ufff, I don’t lose hope that Suunto will one day get serious about it. Because the truth is that it is unacceptable that this section is so weak in a serious sports watch.
I have learned to live with it, especially because in the last year I have had to do little structured training. However, it is a shame that when my colleagues ask me if it is worth switching to Suunto I have no choice but to say that although here, yes, there are structured workouts (which are easy to create, which are compatible with Training Peaks, etc…) but that they are going to lose things like:
- Repetition counter
- Out of range warning
- Display on the calendar of future workouts
- Summary on the watch of all the steps of the workout
- Start/end countdown of phase
- Easy reading of the phase to start
In short, too many things, knowing my colleagues and their preferences, to recommend that they change to Suunto. Mind you, as much as I like Suunto’s philosophy,
Anyway, it would be a great joy to see a paradigm shift in this (so very important) matter in the Q4 update this year.

Add to that because of its implementation as a “SuuntoPlus Guide” instead of a native element of an activity it seems to take up undue resources in order to render or process the workout.
Activity displays often become laggy when a Guide is activated and is most pronounced with complex workouts that contain a lot of steps.
For example, a repeat of 8x 15s strides followed by 60s recovery leads to an accumulated delay of the steps by a few seconds at the end of the workout, i.e. 10’03 when it should be contained entirely within a duration of 10’00.
Having just returned from Polar which has none of this but most if not all of the following,

I find this continuing to be one of Suunto’s major disappointments.

Preach! It is really something else that such an basic functionality remains lacklustre. It’s been the same for how long, at least from Spartan era so maybe Suunto just doesn’t care.
I suppose new watchfaces and such are sexier to sell to customers in stead of sports watch function that actually benefits the training…

I’m 200% with you (and with priority range : 1-rep counter 2-countdowns 3-summary in the app 3’- out of range…). That’s THE point that made lot of friends don’t go with Suunto. That a true weakness to me. Even if I don’t to very often pyramidal exercices (but at least 3/4 times a month), those points are really missing.
-
@Tieutieu I’ll raise you and go with 300% - I would honestly just settle for out of range warnings. I could technically live with just that.

@tran-thang came back to suunto after a few years of garmin with race s.
It is indeed a drawback to not know in which lap you are.
Am i going to suffer the next 10 minutes or is everything all over.
