@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.

@zhang965 So I’ll buy a Stryd some days.

@fejker said in Release date of watch models:

recovery after injury has been progressing faster than planned.

good to hear!! 💪

@sartoric I already did that, but calulated BMR is almost 400 less, that is my almost real BMR according to structure of my body(fat, muscles percentage…)

@Antonino-Cutugno what sailing features are you looking for?

I noticed the Ambit and especially the S9 are missing some fundamentals like heading, bearing, course and VMG. Those fields are available in the Garmin watch @TELE-HO posted. But the watch is also twice the price of an s9

@andreatraverseas said in Quale nuovo orologio oggi:

Is there a watch today that has maps and trails already built in without using a PC?

Suunto 7 is the only watch with map at the moment.
All the others need the phone app to create a new route

@wakarimasen the s9p has carrousel with great readability.

In my case I use one screen with 7 data fields for average and data I don’t need in the moment, and I use the four data field screen and carrousel combo and works good for me.

@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.

Feedback transfered.

@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:
https://forum.suunto.com/topic/2111/would-love-a-way-to-dismiss-notifications

And for zombie notifications:
https://forum.suunto.com/topic/858/notification-center-zombie-notifications/107

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?

@tonyg said in Handheld gps:

@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.

@bulkan said in Handheld gps:

@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
