Custom HR zones

awinkel

In the old Movescount portal it was possible to customize the HR zones.
In the app I don’t see a possibility to do this. Is that right?

@awinkel that depends, as I understood, for newer watches this is configurable on watch (not sure about the app), but for Ambit/Traverse we are out of luck, no settings on watch or in app.

Ambit2 users also cannot set HR zones and power zones(including FTP)

awinkel

That’s a shame.
On the old Movescount site is was possible to adjust the HR zones even for Ambit users.
I still got more convinced the next watch isn’t a Suunto… Oh wait…after the transition I already was.

@awinkel
that’s sad, because with newer watches, SA is great, everything works very nicely and is in constant improvement

Choose whichever brand/model fulfills your needs, but… I quite like the motto from the box of my Vibram shoe: you are the technology! If you know what I mean

@andrasveres meh, this technology is a couple decades old XD.

A Former User

@dmytro but it work from quite a few couple of thousand years now and more important, it adapts pretty amazingly.

DMytro

@andrasveres yeah, but:
Long charging cycles
Abundance of paid premium services
Not waterproof unless with a special case
No warranty

I also still missing a website…
I often make a route on a website.
When I want to import a route in the watch first I have to send it to my mobile than import into the suunto app and than synchronize my watch…
Also I’m missing an overview of my training efforts.
A manufacture like Garmin is doing this a lot better.

It’s a matter of choosing the right 3rd party. Komoot for the routes, Strava (if premium) for everything, runanalyze for overview , intervals.icu
Although like you I prefer to have one thing in one place , today as far as heavily discussed on this forum is not on Suunto’s plans to have again a site. So either you accept and learn how to deal with it (and everyone can help) or change brand

I wasn’t sure untill my yesterday test, with my supreme joy I found that hrTSS is identical between A3P and S9B. That’s the thing I could not have overlooked. So I can train by feeling and still evaluate if my training is consistent with my training plan.
Great!

@awinkel have a look at intervals.icu - it’s really great in those aspect! AND; Garmins webinterface is awful when it comes to evaluating data - you want to see your pace developement over the last 6 months? They will give you a graphic with 6 dots on it, without any further data or possibility dive deeper into or overlay another metric (like HR) - Garmin for me makes beautiful watches and has lots of features, but it’s awfully in presentation an structure of this data

If you have an iPad or Apple Silicon Mac the app runs great on a larger screen and you can add the route directly.

Second, Garmin IMHO is not better. Getting a route into a Garmin watch is convoluted and confusing. A lot of steps and internet necessary.

I don’t know where I set FTP = 250 before (maybe it’s a personalized app of ambit).
Now my FTP = 264.
I have to calculate the TSS = TSS （P） / 1.115 1.115=（264/250）^2
calculated by SuntoZH every time。

@zt_zzzzz you just made me remind that I can try and use a custom app for zone.
Yes ftp was a parameter to be set in TSS custom app

But
I recompiled a new custom app and defined FTP = 264，But it didn’t work. The result is still the original 250
