@carrillomex yes, I also hope triathlon will get some love from Suunto…
Right now indeed you change manually with a long upper button press from swimming to T1, with a short press then to bike, long again to T2, short to run.
No automatic there.
But also no individual multisports pre-defined and no individual data fields in triathlon
The current multisport implementation can be used - the sport modes for selection appear in the order of their last use. So this way you can make sure you don’t have to search for them too long…
t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal, Race S All Black, Race S Titanium Canary

@Egika I didn’t know you could do that with the long and short press button, at least you can do it that way. Thanks for the info. Is that in the manual? I read it and didn’t find that information. (sorry if my english is not as well as it shoud
). -
@carrillomex Yes see themanual :
-
@Arnaud-LECLÈRE this is the description of free multisport selection.
The pre-defined triathlon mode is not covered here.
-
@Egika OK, you’re right, I understand your problem better.
And if you add in the fact that you don’t just have 3 sports, but 3 sports and 2 transitions… you’d have to be one hell of a “press & hold the upper button” champion not to waste any time! -
@Arnaud-Lclr Yes that’s a mess. But there’s no documentation explaining how to change from swimming to T1 and so on when you select triathlon. But thanks to Erica I know how and I’m happy with that for now.

@Egika said in Multisport:

Which is disappointing (still) after this feature debuted in the 9 Baro—or that’s where I first noticed it. Hopefully, Suunto can allow better customized multisport settings before duathlon season kicks off in my neck of the world later this year.

@carrillomex check this out. You might be happier soon! https://saketonemo.it/talking-about-suunto-with-suunto/

@Jeffrey-Tillack Hope to see some new things soon.

I would like to add some observations/ possible bugs that I’ve noticed in Multisport.
I usually do indoor rowing -> jump rope -> indoor cycling. After ending the rowing and cycling workout I can edit/add the distance on the watch directly or in the app. With Multisport this is unfortunately not possible.
For the case above:- a distance for the rowing was estimated by the watch and is not editable
- no distance was determined for the indoor cycling and it can also not be edited (like when not using Multisport)
- For the Multisport summary the estimated distance of the rowing exercise is used and editable.
Takeaway:
- It would be nice if the individual exercise listed in a Multisport workout could be edited
- When switching from e.g. indoor cycling to another exercise, it would be nice to be promoted to add the distance, like you would when not using Multisport.
