@BinoWorld-UK Unlikely for you to hit max HR in a workout, it is Max after all. I typically take my highest HR for the year and add 3-5 beats to set my max. BTW, to set my zones properly on the S7 I have to set about 10 beats above my max. I know my Aerobic and Anaerobic from testing.

@surfboomerang, thanks for the insight.
I think for me, minus having a marine chart on my wrist I’d be looking for some sailing specifics, like timers, I’d love to be able to create an offshore route to sail, Speed Over Ground, Wind speeds and direction, something like tack assist.
Beyond the marine specifics I think Suunto does everything I have now and really want.

The article has been stolen and they do not have stock.

@johann-fuehrer said in Where is the Suunto Watch Forum?:

I’m running circles to find out i.e. how to get rid of notifications I have read on my new Suunto 9 BARO?

You are not alone…as of now there is no way to get rid of them from watch itself. You can do it from your phone by dismissing the notification there, and then well there are still zombie notifications (for me at least, unless you can soft reset your watch fairly regularly)…

Here is one:

And for zombie notifications:

I think this is a watch request so Ill move it to the lounge

i don’t know
But I’m using suunto

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks

@Saketo-Nemo does it sync to 3rd party services?

@andré-faria Hi,
In my work I use GPSMAP 25000 scale mapping and even on those handheld gps devices I find it difficult to use, especially where all your given is a grid ref to find. I enter the grid ref and have it as a waypoint but when you need to scroll around the map you really find it limitations (for me at least). I tend to use lithium AA Batteries and so far they are lasting much better in colder weather as opposed to alkaline batteries, but they still do suffer in the cold, and spare batteries are always in the bag.

I always take the paper map 25000 scale so you can work out a route to get to the waypoint, I do like using paper and gpsmap together and can use either on its own to get to where I need to get too but having anything less than Ordinance Survey 25000 scale maps would make my job a lot harder.

I must point out this is for work, and leisure use may differ and basic topo maps may do for folk.

I guess having maps on a watch would be ok but personally if I needed maps then I would probably prefer to use my GPSMAP combined with paper maps.
Phones: I occasionally will reference the satelite view if I have a signal but yeah in the cold battery suffers and Id rather keep the phone in the pocket incase I need to use the voice phone, we use SpotGenx for emergency contact. apologies for the long waffling reply 🙄

Thanks for elaborated answer. Yeah I feel the same regarding phone, to save it in case of need.

@andré-faria I use a twonav trail 2 and an Etrex. I really like these devices, for me is a hobby.

When I go for a hike I like to bring the big gps, the only gps watch with routable maps are the Garmin but the lack of touchscreen is not good in my experience. So I go with an s7 and a big GPS and map. My partner sometimes complains but when we are in the middle of a route and change it due to climate o we have more time these gps are the best option.

Hehe I also had an etrex 30x (big learning curve to be able to deal with it, and a bit of slow!), and got now a gpsmap.
The button layout+POIs+ AA batteries make it a good ally for bikepacking adventures (on the edge series, the 530 has buttons but doesn’t have POIs).
Finally solved the “issue” of having an adapter for gpsmap/etrex to garmin edge mount with this adapter.

Enjoy the trails guys

@vinay
mountain unicycling must be crazy, I’m glad I survived few months in the flat with only one… keep going and if you feel like, drop some pics in our “a picture a day keeps the doctor away” section. I find it very inspiring 🙂

@fluca I am happy with using a Sportswatch - mostly Suunto 5/9P for workouts and as daily timepiece (and additionally H10 for watch free workout tracking) + an Oura Ring for all those health stats, especially tracking recovery and how meditation and Tai Chi / Chi Kung Sessions influence those. Sportswatchwise I realised that I really don’t need much besides reliable HR and GPS tracking and It seems that I slowly start to „feel“ in which HR Zone I am without looking on the watch. But that’s my case 😀. I am no Ultra- or Marathonrunner and I can not say if Suunto does a good job supporting those (though I would say Suunto does). I doubt that Suunto will make money from customers considering a „healthband“ like a Fitbit or Mi Band anytime soon even if they would put more of those features in their watches.

@JVallS Glad to hear it, it will serve you well.

Garmin Enduro is also a good option if you want a top end/high spec watch. My training partner uses one and rates it highly, before that he used Suunto and COROS

Personally I think this option should be made available to those that pre-order the watch, seems only fair

@freeman1898 Maybe try their chat support? https://www.suunto.com/en-ca/Support/customer-support/
