@NickK So your Amazon Suunto arrived! Congrats!!

@mikekoski490 Yes, latish last night Amazon delivered the bacon. I even got time to take it on a test run through the neighborhood.

GPS was fantastic, a visible improvement over S9PP. I wouldn’t call it the best GPS watch as @the5krunner did, but it can certainly hold its own against latest multi-band gen Garmin and leaves COROS well behind. Basically much vaunted Epix 2 got a very tough competitor.

OHR was surprisingly good too, no cadence locks, no spikes – another improvement over S9PP. Alti was great too, spot on compared to elevation adjusted by maps, and that’s despite 15 mph headwinds in places and gusts up to 25-30 mph when I run yesterday.

O, and the hack to run S+ guide and an app worked too.

@NickK what is the hack?

@altcmd Courtesy of @isazi and @Brad_Olwin:

Schedule a workout either using a third party of choice (say, Training Peaks) or via Suunto app if the workout is created in the app
When you select an activity, a message would pop up asking if you want to do a scheduled workout. Select yes.
Then in Options scroll to S+ apps/guides and select whichever S+ app you like
When you get out of S+ apps/guides submenu, you should see “Multiple” as opposed to just a guide or just an app name
Start your workout normally and you should have both an S+ guide screen and notifications, and your S+ app

@mikekoski490 I believe you will see a noticeable difference.

gone troppo

Some of the reviews I have seen are so incredibly biased/based off lifetime of Garmin use it’s hard to take seriously. One I seen was complaining because it only had 9 watch faces to choose from !!! Another because he had to push too many buttons to get to one of the settings that you would probably never need to change again !!!

Some people cannot be pleased, some reviews found legitimate things that could be improved.

@gone-troppo Nathaniel Gold doesn’t even understand the need for maps
