Multisport mode

DRezvoff · 10 Apr 2020, 10:17

Guys, when in the race the score goes for tenths of a second, there is no time to change either - you will lose…: (it is very uncomfortable.
In Winter triathlon there are chespionates of the world!
In the software it was possible to make the race itself from the mode Multisport, now not.
Movescount shows all stages of a multi-sport race. in SuuntoApp is not present.

@DRezvoff
Totally with you. My remarks were just to say that developers are not obviously the root cause of this “lack” of multisport in Suunto’s world.

DRezvoff · 10 Apr 2020, 11:00

@Mff73 can be…
Want feedback and response

DRezvoff · 15 Oct 2020, 04:35

Up…

Developers!
more than a year has passed, there are no changes! WINTER SOON, WINTER TRIATHLON! And nothing has changed - the winter triathlon mode cannot be done!.. :((((

I think I missed how to create a multisport mode did I oversee it in the manual AND in my SA sport mode setup?
Could you guys give me some assistance here?

Mff73 · 5 Jan 2021, 14:55

@TELE-HO
maybe in MC

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 1 May 2021, 15:08

There is no way you can create a multisport mode.

The logic is simple. Multisport is multisport. Not a sport. Its a combination of multiple sports (activities) into one greater activity with their respective summaries and one generic one.

So you can just change from sport A to B, C, D, …Z as you like. As many changes back and forth or whatever as you like.

You can create Sport A for multisport and sport B for multisport and switch between them at demand.

@Mff73 no you cant

You are right, i didn’t read carefully : i thought about Triathlon (and not really multisport).

freeheeler · 1 May 2021, 17:54

but with A3 it was possible with MC unless my mind does ~~not~~ trick me?

I’m just asking because I used to do few bike and hike combitours and maybe will do one or the other soonish… and of course it is convenient to have something like a shortcut to stop cycling and start hiking or running with one or 2 button press.

But as you know me, I can live with what we have

A Former User · 5 Jan 2021, 17:58

@TELE-HO Yes, it was possible. Today is it impossible… A lot of users want this back. But this is by Suunto progress.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 1 May 2021, 19:09

@mcindr many users is 8 votes for what?

The multisport works better on new suuntos.

@TELE-HO on ambits you had to create a profile for that! On spartans you don’t need Todo that.

Sorry guys what are we talking about here ?

Are you confused with triathlon or so ?

Just long press the upper button select the next sport and done. Repeat infinite times. No need to even customize.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 5 Jan 2021, 19:07

@TELE-HO start your hike, long hold upper button , select cycling done. No need Todo anything more

freeheeler · 5 Jan 2021, 19:16

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
thanks man, I guess this is what I was missing when I searched this afternoon and tried just before

A Former User · 5 Jan 2021, 19:38

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Why was this repeat infinite, when only 8 users interested about it?

I had Ambit, multisport was very good made in this watch. All was configurable. Triathlon, Duathlon, what I want. In Suunto web is wrote by S9 baro multisport support, predefined multisport modes. I expected the same quality as before. It was mistake. There is only one predefined mode, not more modes (only triathlon). You are right. I can change sports manually. But did you tried it during race? Did you tried it after swimming 3,8 km in cold water?

And why I not use predefined modes? Why I need to see only few values which are for me Important. For example can you anything read on your watch during open water swimming? No and because this I need on screen only big time and distance, no more. The same for cycling for me are important informations about cadence, power… The same for running.

This is for me problem by all predefined modes. There is so much informations that are not useful for my training. It is necessary switch four times screen to find what I need. But it have solution. I made own modes where I have all Important in one screen. But for multisport is it now by Suunto impossible.

@mcindr
but you can use your customized modes and switch between them

A Former User · 5 Jan 2021, 19:49

@TELE-HO I know, this I wrote. But it is not so much comfortable during race. It is better solution use my five years old Ambit2, where I have all configured as I need and I can change sports with one druck.

The pity here is that, in Android, the activities of the multisport are shown in SA as an activity without all the metrics of each type of sport. Is an activity with quite poor information, I think in iOS all the metrics are there. On the other hand when the multisport is uploaded to Strava you will have as activities as sports used and with all the metrics.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 1 May 2021, 20:13

@cosmecosta please keep the scope. I don’t want to lock this thread. There is a request for that

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 5 Jan 2021, 20:12

@mcindr you can customize your modes with only distance for for swimming switch between them during multisport switch. It’s actually quite faster and more robust.

While you might have an opinion this request (which we don’t support watch requests here ) has 8 votes only.

Others have hundreds.

The multisoort is an improvement over the old ones however that does not mean that is is for you.

That doesn’t mean you get less quality. It’s a different aspect.

And no there is not linear added update. The spartans and after is anew system. Not at all the same.

That is why it’s not called ambit 3 or 4
