  @Марко-Ѓуричиќ I have a SSU and I have it in automatic, I haven’t seen any strange behavior. In fact some of my runs are in the same trails that my rides in MTB where I use a Sigma GPS with baro and values match within a few meters. If I’m not mistaken (somebody can correct me), depending on the sports mode that you are then you have one or another mode. I mean, for trail running the watch sets itself to altimeter, but maybe I got it wrong.

  Never saw a circle as i have daily HR on. Will check next time I take off the watch for some time. Nevertheless would be nice to have such information in the manual.

  @morskilav I see your point but I do disagree. I have stated this before, the FB features on the S5 require additional screens and I simply don’t want those, nor would I use the FB features much. Perhaps a good solution would be for Suunto to offer the FB licensing as an option when purchasing the watch. That way we would both be happy.

  @darren_m said in Can the Spartan Sport WHRB be switched off?: Ok thanks, I thought not. I’m wondering if the watch becomes just a watch after the becoming idle for so long. You could achieve this by stopping all measurement functions (Heart Rate etc) after the accelerometer becomes idle for a set period, which suggests that the watch isn’t being worn because it hasn’t detected any movement, maybe! To have background information like this would be interesting. Yes that is what happens. Only take care that it can sesnse eg small vibrations eg when you also out a glass on the same table.

  Thanks for the quick reply! I’m using both apps on Android. Will deinstall MC and just keep the SA. I have again a 10k this Sunday, will see if the problem persists… I hope it will be ok, because I’m attending the Hamburg half marathon on the 01.07., and this will be my first half marathon in my life

  @adamreah OHR does not work well for me. Walking or running downhill my HR maxes out. I use the belt most of the time. I also think the OHR will not work well for HR interval training.

  This function works through exactly the same menus on the Spartan watches, too. If you choose to save the location, you can also save it with any one of a number of names from a preexisting list on the watch, which is really quite useful. I’m embarrassed to admit I used it to help me find my way back to my car in Hersheypark’s parking lot today.

  @gtreece a watch face with weekly activity goal, daily steps goal, recovery time, active calories would be great. It would make me move a bit more when not exercising…

  I’m just wondering if Glonass is still a global option or if now it can be customized for each mode.

  @Haitz Sure. Just to clarify, everything that can be customized by the app is something that is already available in the watch

  I had a similar battery problem with my SSSWHR baro, where the battery would die at 30%. I was never sure how much charge it actually had. Sent it off to Suunto, they repaired and it seems ok now. Never had the issue with it displaying a different % when placing on charge, but when the watch does at 30% and I’d plug it in, it would show 30% again to charge up from. Same watch, had a battery issue, but slightly different to how you describe. (Incidentally, I’ve ordered a 9 baro now as there were a few niggles with then SSS that bothered me)

  @ColdBeer that’s not what happened. The back light button simply stopped working, so I did a factory reset, but now can’t get by the walk through, since in the tutorial you have to press the back light (which is still not working).

  @giraffe73 nice. I mean nice of them to reply and not give you some generic answer. The trainer battery is not as good as published from my own experience… But its not the first company that does this.

  @geoffspakes touchscreen is not the best choice when it rains. For races and interval training button is the only option. I moved from Vivoactive 2 (it died in pool) to Spartan Sport. I almost not using buttons.

  @whl_89 Costumers arent changing Brands because of better hardware but because of Software,connection to other services (Suunto app should be able to read and write workouts from platforms Like trainingpeaks for example otherwise the daily calories and the Training log are nonsense btw)and not bring up features which are not as difficult to bring to life. This is the plan. We are bringing you power charts (next android version) and laps+intervals (next iOS version). REgarding connected services there is were we are targeting. Cannot share more though.

  FusedAlti takes care of this. I do a lot of ski mountaineering and I never set the altitude on my watch. I am rarely more than 10m difference in altitude when I arrive at the summit. Believe me some of the barometric changes can be quite large.

  @yannis-belouris I’ve seen many times while sitting in the office, normal behaviour, once watch detects movement watchface is engaged.
