Improvement suggestion : display reps count during custom training
-
Hello !
I used to make custom training through the Suunto App, and I use a lot the reps feature (really handy for the interval training).
Sadly, the interval count is not displayed on the watch (Suunto Race at least), unlike Garmin (displays 1 on 10, 2 on 10, 3 on 10 and so on…). I have to remember the reps count at any time, or looking at the watch each time the rep is finished to read the next activity description (not practical at all).
I think that it’s not a big deal to add, but it could be really handy not to have to remember the reps count.I asked French Suunto support on X (twitter), but it seems not to exist a solution yet for this.
Thanks for your feedback !

@mdulac I agree with you. For what I have read here and in other places this is on the list but not high priority.
In the mean time if you program your repeats in intervals.icu you will have the counter, so it is doable.

@cosme-costa oh thanks for the idea. I will give a try

@cosme-costa Many times asked as improvement indeed. Rep counter is from far the thing I miss the most with native structured workouts. As long as programmation with SA is native and very easy, I don’t want to use interval.cu or other service (If i’m not wrong, rep counter also exist when Trainpeaks is used for programmation).

@Tieutieu yes I agree that it must be a built-in feature without having to use a tiers app. Didn’t notice that it has been asked many times yet, so… happy that I’m not alone
To be honest, without it, I don’t use the reps anymore
It a feature that my Garmin forerunner 55 had for a long time !! -
@Tieutieu If I’m not mistaken in TP there isn’t any counter either, only in interval.icu. And I agree with all of you, and in my opinion if you add the counter, add some alert some seconds before the start of the repeat and bigger fonts the structured workouts will be nearly perfect.
From what I’ve guessed reading here and in the Spanish Telegram forum, next update (Q2) is going to be more outdoors oriented and a very big upgrade (my guess is some kind of climb pro and something new and different to define our training zones, but this is my guess) -
For those interested in helping get this added into TP, we have this request in, the more votes the bigger the chances, thx.

@cosme-costa ok thanks for info.
Anyway I’d rather like to see native structured workout app improve !
