@sartoric no need to be sarcastic, or make me sound like an idiot.
I have no idea how to setup a ‘multisport mode’. The manual sucks. -
@Droro you do not have to set up anything…
Just keep the top button pressed to bring up a selection of sport modes and switch to the one you want
-
@fhegnor OK, wasn’t aware of this… I thought it meant custom multisport mode, not just select sequentially. Thanks.
-
@Droro to my knowledge there is no functionality/feature to pre-define multisport with the SA (i.e. just clicking a button to go to the next one)
-
@fhegnor yeah, would be nice to set up intervals in different sports in one session.
-
Multisport is well multisport. You can define in advance the modes you toggle via that feature. Its not a sport mode.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, so now I can finally toggle between trekking and hiking. Hm.
No, actually it’s very useful for starting with aerobics, then weights, etc…
But trekking and hiking… Can’t get over it
-
@Droro trekking and hiking are very close to each other. Trekking though is not hiking.
Also a trekking trip could include hiking
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos really? What’s the difference? Different countries have different names for the same thing. In NZ its tramping.
-
@Droro Nope trekking can be eg backpacking and even using vehicles to go from Place A to Place B while hikking is more about walking etc.

-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos OK, so if I’m trekking, why is it a sport mode? (hitchhiking is hardly a sport)
-
@Droro did you read the link?
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, but I can’t see why they would be seperate sport modes if each mode doesn’t have something unique to it.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Out of curiosity … does the 2 profiles estimate calories burnt in different ways ? -
What do you mean that they dont have something unique to it? Trekking is not hiking and hiking is not trekking. If you go to the mountain to visit a peak, you are hiking and if you go from city A to city B you are trekking not hiking (except I suppose if they are in the mountains). Anyways if it’s not so important the diff my suggestion is to use hikking.
@sartoric I dont think so
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I meant the sport modes in the watch have nothing unique. It’s just a text tag…
I understand why suunto had many sports, but most of them don’t bring anything different since there are no apps or data field customization (like naming your own data fields for each sport).
If suunto rethought the whole sport mode support it could improve user satisfaction. -
@Droro there is a lot of customization in SA! Have you tried this?
-
@Droro hmmm, I dont get your point.
Yes also walking to hikking is just a name change , but humas percieve it as different activity.But you can customize what you see on trekking , or on walking per sport that is why it’s there.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes I know you can change data fields from the options in SA. But what about naming your own? Now you are doing a ski run of a certain difficulty, don’t you want to mark it in the data? Now you are climbing a route of a certain difficulty… Etc.
I find that most sport modes as they are now could be reduced to maybe 10 activities or less.
Boxing and martial arts? Yoga and stretching?
Etc, etc…
If suunto is not going the app way, and it seems its not, then it should invest more in differentiating different activities. -
@Droro said in Multisport, is there such a feature on spartan?:

I wish there was TRX as that is different than Pilates so I just label TRX with Pilates…I disagree with you. Yoga and Stretching are very different.
