@ElectronBadger Welcome! My favorite Suunto watch is the Vertical.
-
@ElectronBadger Try ZoneSense, and you’ll never look back. Welcome to Suunto!
-
@ElectronBadger Congrats and welcome to Suunto. It’s great watch, enjoy the hell out of it. Yes, the ZoneSense is terrific. Have a nice one.
-
Thank you! I plan trying Zonesense - if I understood correctly, HR belt is required?
-
@ElectronBadger yes, but not optical, armbands do not work.
-
@ElectronBadger great choice! - I can highly recommend Suunto‘s Training Lecture Series Videos! They are really helpful to get into Suunto’s system of Training and Recovery.

@ChrisA Thank you, I’m already at EP4. I’m not a novice runner, but I find a lot of good stuff there.

I still love the watch, get used to its weight and find the size perfect. Here are my additional observations:
- Suunto should make a nylon velcro straps, they are better for fitting the watch more precisely. The silicon strap is nice, but it’s not breathable and precise fitting might be problematic.
- Compared with Coros Pace 2, SV is MUCH better in terms of GPS-based pace measurement. Not only it’s more accurate for the whole run, but also (and it was one of the main problems with Pace 2 for me), SV is much more responsive to changes in pace. 5/5 here.
- Compared with Coros Pace 2, SV wakes on wrist rise much faster and more reliably. Again, 5/5 here.
- I’ve been using SV for almost 2 weeks and made 33 trainings within that period (running, weight lifting and stretching). This evening my battery is on 47%. 5/5.

@ElectronBadger Today, 3 weeks after I started using my SV, I had to recharge the battery for the first time, BUT only because in order to install the new firmware the battery had to be at 20% and mine was at 18%
-
@ElectronBadger I’m also still impressed with the accuracy of GPS-based pace measurement. It’s superb.
