@cosmecosta Oooh!! OMG I can’t believe this haha. Thank you so much. I didn’t know there was a difference in the HR icon between WHR and OHR.
Suunto should have a glossary of all the icons in the app/watch haha.

maybe it already exists in the manual

What the watch can’t do is switch between externa or integrated HR during and activity.

Does someone know why? Occasionally it happened to me that during a race the strap sensor failed (bad battery). I would be nice if the OHR can function as backup during the activity.

@surfboomerang because it’s difficult and could lead to lots of problems. It would also use more battery.

What if connection is lost only temporary with the strap sensor? It’s a tough decision to make for a watch when to switch.

@andrasveres maybe it can display a warning message, like for lost gps connection. And then to give an option to switch to whr.

Something like this.
Same for GNSS settings. I you see that GPS is struggling during and activity it would be wonderful to change GNSS mode without quitting the activity first.

@дима-мельниченко That’s great, but that would need more options to choice from just to be a whole solution:

switch to WHR and don’t look further for chest strap
switch to WHR, but continue look for chest strap
don’t switch and don’t look further
don’t switch, but continue look for chest strap

To name a few I can think of right now.

Not to mention GNSS mode switch written by @surfboomerang would be more complex and cumbersome to implement in my opinion.

There are other companies doing this…would be a nice touch honestly.

Connected - WHR off
Lose connection - WHR on

@stromdiddily
but how would it handle the data in SA in case the chest belt syncs the missing data after the activity? priority to the belt?

stromdiddily

@freeheeler right now there is only one belt that does that, but fair enough point.

Where data is available, data from the belt should be used otherwise pick up from the watch.

DMytro

@andrasveres i think it can be simplified to three options (since only three buttons): hr off, continue looking for hr belt, use whr.

MiniForklift

It’s possibly already been mentioned but it would be good to see the elevation gain go up a metre/foot at a time. Lag aside it would feel closer to ascending in real time, rather than having it jump up in 3 or 4m increments

Can’t imagine it would be too hard to implement as it already goes up a metre at a time in SuuntoPlus Climb

I’m missing the option to lock the watch in regular daily use (not activity)

freeheeler

@hitera
yeah… you’re not alone

@hitera same for me

surfboomerang

That would be a neat feature. A lock button!

Oktan

@hitera That’s so basic. Sometimes I get out from the shower and find out that I was running all that time…so I need to shower again

I think Red Bull is inspiring Suunto to create a new Suunto Plus screen.

It measures the number of broken bones per minute in realtime, the time to recover from your adrenaline rush and keeps track of the wear and tear of your kayak so you have plenty of time to order a new one before the current one breaks down.

(Still no sign of a lock button)

DMytro

@surfboomerang I wonder if any of the sponsored athletes drinks red bull at all.

surfboomerang

@дима-мельниченко I don’t think so. Only for the commercials.
