@dimitrios-kanellopoulos anyway no matter BW1.2 can provide vo2, RR and HRV as well, just the matter if suunto is willing to give this functionality for customers Once s3f released I can do reverse engineering of s3f FW to make sure what kind of sensor it is

What do you make out (I am not expert here) and I more will trust you @slashas rather than 5K runner etc.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos looks like BW1.2 by shape, led placement 2 green, 1 yellow, optical sensor. Looks exactly the same as on my baro this is just speculations, to confirm that I need FW

I am with you on this one.

But as you I am also trying to understand.

Take a look here:

Left is the trainer and then it’s SSSWHR and Baro. The SSWHR and Baro have a different component.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos in lot of reviews I’ve read that the Trainer uses the same OWHR component than Sport but presented differently as rotated by 180° and integrated differently as well as the modul is not hidden in the case of the watch.

To be honest I do not really know. From my tests on S3F vs Trainer etc the light diodes do blink differently and I get IBI data from running and rest.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos more expensive watches are having sensor under the watch frame, lower quality are under glass composite solution which is more easy and cheaper to manufacture.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos led flashing might be FW related we will see if there are going to be any changes with comming FW to spartan line, currently my sensor fw level is 5196.

I was talking about the leds. There are not the same. Take a closer look

SlaSh

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos but if you look how trainer is flashing, it is flashing the same as the baro or spartan with ohrm

yes yes that is what I said. But S3F has it continuously. At the start I thought my unit was broken.

Anyways I am kinda sure there will be an upgrade to the FW but not sure if the S3F goodies will come, perhaps not due to limitation of Hw but more over licensing.

SlaSh

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos when I first bought baro I thought my unit is defective cause how ohrm is flashing, as all previous watches which I have owned were flashing fast barely noticeable with naked eye or even not noticeable. I need to do test with the leds with continuously power supply and with impulse power supply would be interesting to test which solution draws more power

So, and then we can get rid of the SportsTracker Account? Right now its still not delete-able but I really still don’t need this another “tracking” account besides the app, Movescount and Strava. And I felt kinda forced to use it.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos said in Suunto 3 Fitness Thoughts:

Regarding the MC let me shed some insight on this.
The MC integration with the Suunto app will come having MC as a dependency. That means that from the Suunto app you will connect to MC and not the way around.
This indicates that MC to Suunto app is a service and a relaltion similar to Strava with the Suunto app. Suunto app will not replace MC any time soon. And if that would have been the case you would already know. You don’t flip a switch in 6 months on a product.
