@Nikolai-Simonov said in Live location S+ app: @Antoine I had an idea to measure this, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Honestly, measuring power consumption properly is not as simple as it looks. Battery percentage is a very subjective metric, especially just on-eye observation. To do it right, we would need to use a multimeter and run controlled A/B tests (baseline vs. tracking in background/UI) across different devices multiple times. That’s the only way to get real consumption milliamp numbers instead of just rough estimates. But 3% per hour looks great for continuous live tracking. @nikolai-simonov : thanks for aswer. Of course. It wasn’t a criticism. I just wanted to get a rough idea of the battery drain on the Suunto Vertical. My measurement isn’t super precise, but I’m usually at around 1.6% per hour during an activity (100% ≈ 65h). With the SuuntoPlus Live Tracking app enabled, it’s around 3%, but i just want to confim that (or not). My goal is simply to estimate the overall battery life of my suunto vertical 1 for a long race while using live tracking.

@David-Baldwin said in S+ parkrun: getting the “Maximum amount of SuuntoPlus apps enabled” error Try to hold upper button for 12 seconds to soft reset, then sync the watch with the app. See if you can enable it afterwards.

@TogaRunner Any news about supporting Tymewear?

@jason.scrivens Hi, it was the watch firmware update, therefore FW 2.50.26 on Suunto Race watch. I think that SA (android or apple) has nothing to do with this functionality. So, after the watch firmware update, it really works for me. I am in the pool at least two times per week and so far so good. There is another topic, which is maybe more for feature suggestion, but I would welcome if the swim rest time is not a cummulative time from all rest times between the laps/intervals, but the actual rest time after actual interval. so it should start from zero after each interval. But as I said, that is different topic.

@onthesummit Very good idea.

@Egika I wonder how is race guide different than simply using a route for that race? Both elevation profile and aid stations or checkpoints can be on the route.

Same for distance is less. There is a backyard ultra inspired race close to me, but it only has yards that cover roughly 5km…

@Olaf-Gottschalk btw: I don’t understand, in which way it makes sense to count steps of an activity… Is it a training goal to finish the activity with maximum or minimum number of steps?

@fritzbt2013 I suggested a similar approach in other discussion threads. I agree that zoomed in elevation profile already provides some of Up Ahead functionality. I also fully agree that showing elapsed time on this screen is redundant because we can see it elsewhere. As you said, it would be a great solution to show the waypoint name along with the distance to that waypoint, and the distance should be in larger font and easier to read! The name should be of the last waypoint visible on the profile, so it is in sync with the distance. And we can already see remaining ascent and descent to that waypoint, which makes Suunto implementation even more functional than Up Ahead. The only missing part is to make it more usable!

@Mattg576 it’s great how you could configure Suunto watches for different “use cases”

@MarkusG big problem of our modern society where everyone can just spread unverified and anecdotal information! Better rely on verified data from independent researchers and experts. But apparently there is too much money to make with just claiming that you have developed something special. Garmin is the worst example with their “body battery”, “heat/height acclimation”, “Real-Time stamina”, “endurance score”, “training readiness”, “running tolerance”, “race predictor”. Nothing of that has ever been scientifically validated that it actually works and every good coach and athlete can do more accurate race predictions

@porter297 in another thread someone recently recommended to (ab)use structured workouts for this.

@Maria-Mette-Kronhoff It is working. Install it on your watch with the Suunto App, select Padel mode and the app is there.

@mando Thanks for the link, I hadn’t actually seen that thread, but it matches with what I noticed. So it really does seem to be related to a new firmware version that enabled this, and not the Suunto App Nolio. I just hope they’ll add an option to configure it, because it’s honestly quite annoying.

@smopi Yes, I have the Suunto Vertical too. I had this problem with previous FW versions as well. But only now have I gotten around to writing this post.

@Rinbo71 I see! thanks for sharing - sounds like an issue with your chest strap, I’d say. In my case ZS doesn’t work at all with FW 2.44.
