@Mister-PYC Fantastic idea 👍

Orthostatic test would be great. I’ve bought the polar only for that test and for me it is the best tool for analyzing potential overtraining so far

As I had asked in this topic, in addition to activating sound notifications, it would be nice to have the audio countdown of the last 3 seconds of the interval and rest.

@far-blue said in [UPDATE] Disable notification ONLY during trainings:

Just to add to this (which I also noticed), When DND is on it also silences all alerts for structured workouts. This isn’t a very helpful or expected behaviour so can DND mode when in an activity please allow actual activity alerts to still, um, alert?

Yes, that is a bug in my opinion. It needs to disable system notifications for the duration of the activity while allowing activity related alerts (Guides, + Apps, etc.)

Ok, I’ve been experimenting and this is what I’ve found so far.

Firstly, it seems clear to me that the behaviour of the watch’s presentation of pace changes when a stryd pod is used so I’m pretty sure the pace data is used and is used in preference to in-watch fusedspeed data.

When I use the stryd pod, pace appears to be updated pretty consistently every 2 seconds or so. I actually think Suunto could do some work to tune this to improve it because my iPhone app (iSmoothRun) can update every second but that’s an aside. When the stryd is paired, no level of mucking about with gps or holding my arm to see the watch for extended periods makes any difference so I’m going to say when a stryd is paired fusedspeed isn’t used and pace comes from the stryd, not gps.

When not using the stryd pod I can def. create scenarios where I can tell the difference. With a recently sync’d watch, over 20% battery, performance level gps and a solid gps signal I actually think the watch updates pace faster than when using the stryd. However, not sync’ing before a run, having less than 20% battery and running deliberately where I know the GPS signal is weaker (under trees, along canals etc) the pace update rate drops significantly. Here it seems to update every 5 or so seconds and is also more likely to react to a slowing of pace than an acceleration. I’m guessing this is the frusedspeed stuff kicking in.

If I go further to ‘break’ the fusedspeed capability by holding my wrist up to view my watch continuously (therefore preventing the accelerometer from doing it’s job) then in a poor signal area the pace can easily freeze for 20 seconds or more until GPS catches up.

So my conclusion is that the watch adopts behaviour 1 from my original post. As a result I’m not going to be retiring my Stryd any time soon 🙂

And as a PS maybe Suunto could improve the refresh rate for pace and power from the stryd to every second 😄

I’d be interested to hear if other people have different experiences 🙂

@fritzbt2013 I can confirm that it is the least used custom activity that gets deleted. I recently got back to using my Vertical and had 4 custom activities (only). I noted which one was at the top on the watch (the least used). I then performed the update, and it was gone, and I was down to 3 activities.

I’ll continue to keep track of this, but it’s pretty easy to reproduce the problem and I would think Suunto could solved this fairly easily (if there is a good way to submit the issue where it might get some traction).

For now, I’ve added ‘Stretching’ to both my watches and will (easily) make sure it will be the least used activity as a workaround to the problem.

@Egika
Yep.

@stromdiddily The watch will use HR but the other values can affect the TP calculations from what I have seen. See if this helps.

@André-Faria oh cool so if I’m careful I only have to worry about changing the battery?
Nevermind I can’t read gonna have to get an o-ring.

@asorli Oh yeah, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention that this method of hard reset is also not working… I press all 4 buttons, nothing happens…

@metalmi I think it seems like that feature is hidden seems not really obvious for a new user.

Ideally I think when someone purchases a watch from Suunto and is doing the initial setup it would ask if you want to enter a name and contact info to be added into the watch in addition to your age, height, and weight.

Then the watch would automatically show the correct info in some of the menus do if someone picks it up and uses it they will see it.

plus the energy consumption algorithm is different for different sports.

@seanvk Suunto is already looking into this. I am very sure it will come to enable minimum 3 at a time (e.g. external device, structured workout and a technical one together makes sense).
Can’t confirm any dates though.

@sartoric Updating the D5 needs a USB connection to a computer via SuuntoLink says the Manual. Activities sync through SuuntoApp.

@Danny-poleg Suunto does not do this but Garmin has a feature that will “pace” you for the entire race taking into account elevation changes, the predicted finish time and how much you slow down over the course. I can see how this could be useful but I tried this for a couple of ultras and found it takes the fun out of racing for me. I was almost always ahead or behind of my predictions. I think for road events it would be ok. I stopped using it and don’t this this level of direction is necessarily worth the effort

If you generally run roads I could see how this could be helpful but I prefer simply assessing my avg pace.

@albiurs Thanks for this! and thanks @isazi for the notification. The calculations were indeed wrong, we’ll fix this 🙆

@sartoric I have already contacted service center for repair, but maybe someone here has an experience with the same issue.

@objpath
it is not “fixed”, it is not a “bug”, the Suunto Navigation map since at least the Spartan series always rotate into the compass (low speed) or movement (higher speed) direction.
you can vote for this feature suggestion, and … hope.

@Brad_Olwin Yes I know, I ask that it could be integrated in future release indeed 🙂
