Hi everyone,
I’ve just released a new SuuntoPlus app called Manual Interval+, built for runners who train using the lap button and want a clear, consistent interval screen for any type of workout.
I designed it because many of my own interval sessions don’t follow the classic “work / rest” pattern. For example: short accelerations inside longer blocks, variable‑pace intervals, or pyramid workouts. With existing manual‑interval apps, the screen often switches to a “rest” view during segments that are still part of the effort, which hides useful metrics. I also wanted an easy way to review the previous lap’s information without losing context.
Features
Clean and readable 2×2 layout for the current interval
Tenth‑second lap timing (handy for track repeats)
Interval average pace, current HR, interval distance, interval time
A compact lower panel that switches between previous interval metrics:
– previous interval time + pace
– previous interval distance + average HR
Optional alternation between interval number and time of day in the title
Manual Interval+ is designed to work with any interval structure — tempo blocks, fartleks, accelerations, pyramids, or continuous intervals where you simply hit LAP when needed — and it requires no configuration beforehand.
Compatibility
All Suunto Watches have been tested using the simulator. I also tested on my own Suunto Race S. Please let me know if you find issues on your actual watch.
What’s next
First, thank you for the feedback I’ve already received via email and through the smartphone app reviews.
Some of you requested a mode that alternates between a “rest view” and the interval view. This wasn’t the use case I originally designed the app for, but I’m considering adding it and allowing users to switch between modes directly on the watch.
I’m also thinking about reintroducing a temporary (few seconds) “previous interval view” when pressing the LAP button (showing HR, pace, time and distance).
Some code optimizations.
Hope it’s useful to some of you. I’d be happy to hear your thoughts, improvement ideas once you’ve tried it!
