@JasonQ88 said in Voice Alerts - Running & other activities: So instead of looking down at the watch, a voice will read out stats such as Distance, Time & Heart Rate etc… This, honestly, I’ll never understand. What can be simpler than talking a quick glance at the watch - there is no need to wait for a split to know your distance or pace. Even when I had this feature on Garmin (the split metrics spoken loudly to me through my phone speaker), I turned it off immediately after the first use because of how annoying it was. I guess this feature makes sense when tracking with a phone because the phone is usually tucked away and it isn’t easy to look at it, but the main benefit of a watch is how easy it is to look at it.

A few times I saw a guru in our public sauna who had a Garmin Fenix 7X or similar on his left hand and an Apple watch Ultra on the other. Then the attendant came to scold him for sitting on his own towel

I’m responding to your comments because Suunto announced certain swimming features that are still missing six months after the watch was released: Swimming: Stroke rate and type, number of strokes / Automatic intervals / Lap table in fractions / Exercise distance in metres. They could at least correct the product page by specifying (under development).

@Jan-Krejčí I think an option that should be there. I have a lot of routes in SA as well. I will inquire about this.

Night mode would be great for any night activity

@peringmar Upvoted, I agree.

@Tieutieu thanks, did not know this and never really had a deeper look in that page. So, yes, It works! I nevertheless would like to have the more direct approach, tap on the tag, and have access to these similar data , but I will distribute that topic with my even less knowledgeable Suunto-using-colleagues/friends (up to now I convinced 5 to move to Suunto, who still stay with it).

@Squirrel Exactly

@ADidier yes, Suunto need this!

@MarkG said in Mountain/Hill running sport mode?: It still seems to me to be a strange omission from the standard list of activities, especially in a watch I suspect will be used by lots of mountain runners especially bearing in mind some of the other activities on there. Here is a thought. Suunto exports activities as FIT files to 3rd party platforms like Strava. They very likely have to follow standard established activity types and subtypes so that other platform understand the data. The FIT standard is owned by Garmin. As far as I know Trail Run is a standard activity type but there is no Mountain Run or Hill Run. Even if Suunto adds a new type inside the Suunto Platform, they’ll likely have to export these activities as trail runs which would probably complicate things.

I would love to have this feature as well

@Bilal-Issa I’m agree with the integration into Health Connect. I should be a must, to sync with health and sport data through health apps.

@Patrick-RS The root cause is not activity type but the fact they are imported. Currently (since a while), imported activities into Suunto environment is : calculating zones duration based on “standard zones” and not user customized one, and those activities seems not to be counted into HR statistics, guessing it is due to “standard zones” (just guessing).

@jacobus you’re right I should have written only “rep” in my post !
