@Egika said in Stopwatch in Vertical - interval times and results for several runners:
@Ars-Vitae the backlog of good ideas is maybe not too short and I am just forwarding this - so no idea about the outcome.
As not being a user of the stop watch myself I wanted to make sure that we are on the same page here.
Thank you for your effort to draft this from your perspective!!!
OK, it’s taken me a while, not just preparing the idea - that will be brief - but getting myself together to write a response. Family, work and other responsibilities took me elsewhere for a while, but I’m back. I think it would be worth rethinking or copying the function of a professional stopwatch such as the Seiko Stopwatch S141. I attach a photo from the OnTrack website. A pdf of the user manual is readily available in general. I am attaching the link: https://www.manua.ls/seiko/s141/manual?p=4
The manual explains exactly how such a stopwatch functions. As the Seiko has 4 buttons (Mode, Lap/Split-Reset, Recall and Start-Stop) you only need to replace e.g. the “Mode” button with another solution, e.g. by holding down the top button on the SV for a longer time (I know it is a shortcut to another function, but in an open stopwatch application it could be locked to that SV feature). Everything else is quite clearly described in the manual. If necessary I can rewrite it in a post here, but I don’t see the point if we are going to copy an already developed schema. Several features do not need to be implemented, e.g. how to delete collected data, this can be carried out in the same way as for other data stored in SV and the mobile app.
However, I maintain that such a professional stopwatch should be a core feature of the SV or SR and not just an additional Suunto Plus app, especially when they are called sports watches. Suunto could shake up the competition this way and win themselves new customers. It’s actually strange that such an option has been unavailable until now. Strange for me, of course, but it was one of my first thoughts when I first checked out the watch’s capabilities.
I hope that a good use can be made of it and the idea gets into the right hands. Thank you in advance for even just trying to pass this on to potential interested people.
Greetings!
