Guide target zone alerts
-
@far-blue This has been asked for multiple times in the past and by field testers as well. Hopefully it is on a to do list.
-
Curious. I had a Forerunner 955 before, and I missed the option to disable this alerts. If Suunto implements it, it would be nice to have the option to enable/disable; It can be a bit annoying to receive alerts continuously.

Really surprised that this functionality is not available. As an old, but newbie runner, this is really useful.

@Brad_Olwin Remember to make it optional if someone will implement this. I hate this beeping stuff. Use case: I get a workout from my coach. I don’t want to have beeping. I like it like it is today. It’s the opposite in the garmin forum: People their want to disable that beeping stuff but it’s not possible! So annoying!

@RightNow Really? I have a Garmin Forerunner and I didn’t think the alerts were ‘de-selectable.’
By the way: on the Polar Vantage V3 that I have, the voice alert for this is a real pain - especially if you are running and listening to something. To have a voice saying: ‘you have now entered zone 3…you have now entered zone 2…you have now entered zone 3’ when you are on the border of two zones is really annoying

@wakarimasen Yes. They are so annoying on the garmin that I think they are not usable at all. That’s why: don’t destroy the Suunto solution. Because it’s a silent solution. I can always look on my watch to check if I am on track without beeping. Not possible with a garmin

I have a Garmin 955 Forerunner and can set a custom alert for an activity on the device. Under the run activity I have an alert when my heart rate reaches my aerobic max level.
I am looking at Suunto because of the battery life and large face but would need a custom alert for my heart rate training. -

I am 100% with you and personally do not want notifications as I train solely on RPE. When doing workouts I will feel better some days and have a stronger effort relative to RPE, when in heavy training blocks the opposite may happen. I think setting absolute values for pace/HR/Power is not realistic nor necessarily helpful for training. This is why I am using ZoneSense for most of my training except for short Intervals. The last set of Tempo Intervals I did was perfectly aligned with ZS.

@Brad_Olwin This to do list is not visible somewhere?
I assume this feature is easy to implement so that in the span of two years this could have been solved. -

I assume this feature is easy to implement so that in the span of two years this could have been solved.It depends on priorities, I am not a Suunto employee so I am not aware of what priorities are. Frankly my personal opinion is I do not want out of zone alerts. It is easy to see on the S+guide whether or not you are in zone. Garmin watches annoyingly keep beeping/buzzing the entire time someone is out of range, which I hate. I train by RPE anyway so fixed HR/Pace/Power zones I do not use.
