1 week with Suunto. The struggles.

cking. It’s the latter where there are currently a few gaps as a multi-sport athlete.- The watch displays your metrics in a fixed Mon-Sun week, not a rolling 7 days. It means on a Monday you basically lose your data and start again. The body doesn’t care which day of the week it is, a rolling week would make much more sense and is likely a pretty simple change.
101% agree

@James-Eastwood, regarding your second use case, I never understood why some people prefer to track their aggregated stats on the watch. The way I see it is that the watch is a recorder - it collects the data and syncs the data to the app, and that’s about it. A phone or a tablet with a much larger screen are much better suited to analyze the data afterwards and see the aggregated stats, analysis, and trends. Opening an app isn’t really a big deal. Furthermore, the Progress tab in the app is so much more useful than anything you can see on the watch or in fact any analysis that I ever used on Garmin platform, and it provides a continuous view, not just the current week.

@sky-runner it’s not that I want to use the watch to do the analysis over an app, it’s that the basic high level values are not very useful if they do not contain all data.
The watch is already a data aggregator, not just an activity recorder. It shows you:
- Your TSS
- Your CTL/TSB/ATL
- Your fitness (vo2 max)
- AI coaching tip
- Logbook
Do you disable all of those things?
My request above was for improved functionality for the app, but the summary information shown on the watch should, of course, match.

I don’t disable all those things, but I regularly look at them in the phone app and for the most part ignore them on the watch. I mean exactly the same metrics - they get synced to the app too.
Another reason the app is preferred is that now I started to use two Suunto watches - Race S for daily wear and shorter runs and Race for longer stuff. So hopefully the app will be properly combining metrics from the two watches.
-
@sky-runner They aren’t exactly the same, they miss any activity not recorded on the watch. That includes activities recorded on other Suunto devices as well as non-Suunto devices, such as a Bike Computer.
The point @James-Eastwood is making is valid, whether or not you prefer to use a phone or a watch.
IF Suunto did this, they would blow all other watch manufacturers apps out the water, and certainly create question marks over things like Strava Premium.
-
I note in DC rainmaker’s Run review he once again laments the Monday reset logic.
This is a big one for Suunto to resolve.

@James-Eastwood One thing that has changed the way I use Suunto is RunGap. For moving activities from other platforms into my Suunto app it is flawless. It is a paid app, but for a couple bucks it does not stop being an amazing tool to put together my Zwift rides, TrainerRoad rides and all other misc activities into the Suunto app.
-
@Stavrogin RunGap is great, but I’m an Android user. I used it on an old work iphone for a while, but that is no longer an option.
I manage to get my data in via the hammerhead integration and runalyze. Unfortunately not all data is there, but there’s enough (importantly, TSS).
-
@James-Eastwood I have the same problem.
SyncMyTrack works on Android (it costs pennies).
You can import any workout between Garmin->Suunto, Suunto->Garmin - whatever you want.
I use intervals.icu to analyze data on a large monitor because it’s more convenient than a smartphone app.
