Metronome

Re: Metronome?
It would be great if the Suunto watches were able to vibrate to a particular cadence. This would help runners from over-striding and potentially getting injured. I have a Spartan Trainer
-
@Shapi you can stablish autolap by time or distance, and it vibrates… Could it be a solution for you?

@suzzlo autolap 180 times per minute? Nice thinking, but not a solution for me - it would be nice option to have.
-
Perhaps a futur feature of SuuntoPlus but not for Spartan line, sadly…
-
the vibration motor running basically continuously will eat your battery in no-time.
For pacing I use music that I put into playlists according to their BPM. Use some tool for filtering your mp3 collection like this one: https://www.pistonsoft.com/bpm-detector.html
Then you compile your playlist, that can also have increasing and decreasing bpm for some kind of music driven intervall training. Plus you get the extra kick from energizing music
-
@Egika this is pretty brilliant.
-
Another advise is Spotify: it has also compilation sorted for bpm
-
AFAIK almost all streaming services have a “training” category
-
@Likarnik ahh sorry, I didn’t get you were talking about step cadence. Of course, autolap is not solution. As it has mention here, music should be best solution (this is the one I use)

@Saketo-Nemo said in Metronome:

Yeah, I’m pretty old school here and don’t spend money for a service.
I rather use my extensive mp3 library (that I also have uploaded to Google Music) -
@Egika me too
Never paid Spotify -
I have used a small clip-on Seiko metronome for this, You can get it from Amazon for around £20. Its possible to set up any tempo, with a variety of tones, rhythms and you have 3 volumes to choose from. Very useful.
-
Or you can buy a Suunto 7. It has metronome as esternal apk
-
Wow, thanks for all your responses, amazing watch, great forum.
I will continue to use runzi - nice and simple, just didn’t want to carry the phone around
However, the clip-on Seiko metronome does look interesting… -
@Shapi thanks
