heart rate alarm?
-
Hello - first of all: what an awesome forum, I had a few issues with my (finally, happily, long desired) newly obtained vertical 1 and found plenty of solutions and hints here (battery drain amongst others, the 60 second reset solved the issue!
)So it works perfectly now, except for one single feature I am missing which is a heart rate alarm (at least during training). I might have overlooked it, or there is a work around with an app extension I haven’t discovered yet. Is anybody here having knowledge/thoughts/ideas on how to set one?
For medical reasons I should not exceed a certain heart rate. I would appreciate very much if the vertical could give me a gentle vibration if I do, so I don’t need to check it all the time during training. The cheap watch I used used before can do almost nothing but such an alarm, so now I use both sometimes which is a bit ridiculous LOL

@Kalb_Willi you can’t get a ping when you cross HR zone boundaries, but this is at best a workaround. I asked for this some 5 years ago

@MdzOtt oh my… Okay thanks a lot, so I guess I can stop looking for technical solutions if you’ve done so for the past 5 years. It should not be difficult for Suunto programmers to add such a (common?) feature though, right?
I experimented with the heart rate zones already, hoping the watch would alarm me if i exceeded the chosen maximum. So yeah, I’m using them already to keep easier track but still I constantly need to watch the watch which is not what I desire to do.

@Kalb_Willi do you mean alarm during exercise? Theoretically you could set a target zone during a workout. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

@OutdoorMan awesome - Well, whatever it takes for the watch to ping/buzz everytime I exceed a certain heart rate
Where/how can I set a target zone? I must have overlooked it.

@Kalb_Willi After you select an exercise, scroll down to Exercise Options/Intensity Zones/Target.
If you are using an HR belt (not optical) you will have HR/Pace/Power/ZoneSense for Intensity Zones and targets. If no belt then ZoneSense will not work. You can select a target zone for one intensity zone. The watch will buzz/alarm when you go above/below the zone and when you return.
As an alternative, you can set up a custom interval workout in the app. It can be only one interval or multiple. You can set multiple HR/Power/Pace targets for warm up, intervals, cool down. The watch will buzz when you are out of zone.
