    Well, for one I was scared a lot by reading some stuff online and especially here on forums. I’m new Suunto Ambit 3 Peak user. Been used watch for like a week now. But now that I gathered how: the watch works how online platforms work how to pair it how to analyze/share workouts I can only say that I’m a happy customer. Watch really can and does everything I would ask from it. I can customize it the way I want. Never really wanted anything apart from metrics on my watch, I’m retty old skool user, don’t really use earphones etc. while exericising so that’s another + for my Ambit as it is really bare to the bones, no nonsense type of watch. And all I want it to remain this way. In which case I see myself sticking to the brand in the future.

    @sartoric said in Forget/find phone: @hyungardio-leviossa afair bluetooth smart doesn’t keep the connection always active. So it could be misleading The way it’s implemented by other brands makes it reliable enough to be useful, though depends on expectations and habbits - I personally don’t use phone alerts (notifications on every connect / disconnect ) as I tend to move around a lot without picking up my phone and all that buzzing would be too annoying; but I do use both find my phone & find my watch frequently enough ( like every other time I’m packing in a hurry and am about to empty 2-3 bags to find the missing piece … ) to miss those if taken away. BTW, BT(LE) working range is usually more than people would expect, especially if one node happens to be a phone, my Jabbra headset starts to clip once it’s more than 30m from the source (semi-open office /shop floor) and when I need to do offline sync from Stryd, phone is usually at least 10m from the sensor ( log constuctions bteween)

    @ey1972 thanks to all responders. i was thinking of something simple. not requiring me to manually combine anything. i agree that the app is the better place to do it. you can simply mark the logged activities and unify them into one “adventure”. this way you can combine even different sports. i also agree that it should not be done by pausing the activity in the watch. let me finish the day’s walk, start fresh the next day, but give me a simple UI to unify them later own or on the go in the app.

    Thanks @2b2bff , @TonyG for your sharing your experience! In my particular case, since swimming is just a complimentary activity and hence my swimming technique is rather poor, I didn’t had the elements to say if the hit or miss of style identification was my fault or not. So, first step: improve technique . Going back to the opening question: I understand there’s no reason for the Garmin Swim unless you’re specifically targeting to have the extra analysis that Suuntos may lack of. Or… look for an Ambit . And thanks @TonyG for the tip on having laps better captured: solid push + glide it goes. Cheers!

    Having tried the Ai running program from Garmin, I’m not a big fan. Changing runs overnight (from a tempo run to a rest day on one occasion and from an easy run to intervals on another - even though the same run had already been carried out that week) and during the course of a day was a little to much for me.

    @safari I still use mine. It’s the oldest, has seen the most wear and tear, and is irreplaceable. It’s never been serviced, the battery is great, and it performs wonderfully in the pool. Next Monday, I’m sending my current Suunto Vertical for service for the second time (…) so Ambit is back in the game!

    @Egika It disappears now when the touchscreen becomes inactive. It used to remain on the screen all the time.

    I have the S5 and suspected the HR readings no to be very accurate, as I was running my favourite tracks. So I made a reference run with my FR935 and chest belt. I did not trust my eyes what I have seen. And the device was tightly bound to the skin a properly positioned. I mean, we do not talk about “inaccurate” data, we talk about phantasy data. OHR is not meant to replace the chest belt, but to provide at least meaningful HR readings, in particular for the 7x24h activity tracking. But sorry, these figures are far beyond any limits. And they want to derive some fitness and recovery data from that ? S5 [image: 1564088510328-screenshot_20190715-203001_suunto.jpg] FR 935 [image: 1564088546834-screenshot_20190715-203024_connect.jpg]

    @Mff73 said in How to erase Clock routes?: @Brad_Olwin Maybe. The question is : do one want to wait that watch is full of SA routes, or find a workaround to delete MC routes in watch ? Did not know if this was Android or iOS. Will this work on iOS?

    I agree that it would be cool to see. Maybe some kind of marker or so on the HR graph in SA. But I personally tend to wear my watch loose when not working out and considering weight of the unit and not the most reliable valencell sensor and no continuous measurement (only each 12min or so), it’s probably more likely that each deviation in HR graph is an error that an indication of heart problem. And during activity it’s probably even more so the case, since active arm movement tends to make my graph pretty noisy, for HR strap also. I thought apple had specific technology to provide this feature and for a “heart scan” you should stay still and they say themselves that one shouldn’t rely on this measurement and visit a doctor.

    I have bought my Ambit 3 Peak from Amazon UK (before Brexit). Great value, 225GBP in 2018. It was sold as new and it arrived as new too. Didn’t have any issues.
