When will we get new firmware from Suunto?
-
@TyreseJ4 not all features are called gimmicks did someone here mention that hrv is a gimmick?
-
@zhang965 we dont come here to argue who is best or what is worth or what mindset people should have. Its a community forum indeed so you will find more Suunto users than the Garmin forums where you will find more garmin users. But I guess we have to repeat that ?
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I never said that anyone specifically referred to HRV as a gimmick. I said features like HRV have been referred to as gimmicks. However I wouldn’t be surprised if I found those exact words if I cared enough to dig. So with that said you’ve never seen anything from Garmin referred to here as a gimmick?
-
@TyreseJ4 This is Suunto forum, I really don’t care about garmin…and their features…
-
@nseslija With respect I never asked you what you cared for. Can you find any comment above where I asked YOU specifically what you thought? I assure you it’s not there. With that said it’s clear Suunto cares about Garmin features because they keep adding them.

I really don’t have comment on this
-
@nseslija That’s great, you don’t have to. The pressure never came from me. I even gave you an up vote.

@wmichi hey thanks! Just downloaded and using the beta version. But I am unable to locate the HRV portion. Where is this new feature located in the app?
-
@leafs93 Press and hold to add the widget.
-
Heh, didn’t even know that I can edit those 🫣
-
@Lechamoix sorry to sound abit dumb here. Press and hold which part of the app?
-
@leafs93 main page and At the top of the widgets.
-
@leafs93 I went into the widget page and all I get is a blank page with nothing in it. Hmmm… something not right for my beta version ?
-
@leafs93 ok I finally got it! Thank you
-
I am not sure if we’re allowed to discuss beta software here, but… do you actually get the HRV data? I have added the widget, but it’s empty (as in above screenshot). Or I guess it’s not fully functional yet?
-
@tomasbartko not yet functional for mine .
-
@leafs93 it’s normal, it’s a function that will be available later or is currently being tested. the widget can also disappear at another update.
-
I guess it is only available for Ios in Beta…

You are free to discuss this! The HRV will take some time to register and get a baseline, you need to wear the watch to sleep. There have been discussions regarding how useful this measurement is. When I had a Garmin watch my training was typically unproductive as I do more long and slower runs, the watch was always telling me I was low in anaerobic training. Since I block train and do intervals at the beginning of my season I found most of the training metrics for the Epix 2 useless. I prefer the Suunto approach as I have used TrainingPeaks for many years; TP provides better metrics for long runs. I pay more attention to ATL,CTL and TSS than I will to an HRV score. I will not let the latter dissuade me from a Peak block of training as I have now for an upcoming race.

@Brad_Olwin does that mean the Hrv widget is functional, just that I have not worn in long enough for sleep to get a baseline? If so, then perhaps I may get some reading after a few more days or weeks? Thanks
