@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I just upgraded from my Spartan Sport to a 9 Baro and stumbled on the ability to change sports mid-activity while playing with buttons on the turbo trainer. I think it’s a really cool feature given the flexibility for multisport training days!
That said, I was really surprised to see that it’s not possible to add a custom Triathlon sport mode. I loved that about my Spartan Sport because it allowed me to set up my swim/bike/run screens exactly as I’d like, and I was able to reduce the GPS from Best to Good for the bike to conserve battery. Not being able to create a custom triathlon sport mode is a deal breaker for me. I plan to return the watch and go back to my Spartan Sport without it.
I’ve been a 20 year Suunto user from an Altimax to the first Ambit, then Spartan Sport, and now (temporarily) 9 Baro. Build quality and reliability are worlds better than other watches I’ve tried. I suspect there are a lot of triathlon users who would want different data views than those specific to the native Triathlon mode, and I don’t understand why the ability to make a custom triathlon mode has been taken away.

@bnorthrop
Just to check : how do you create custom triathlon mode with your Spartan Sport? -
@mff73 Back when I was using Moves Count. It was actually really great and super easy to set up specific pages for each triathlon leg. It was when I was trying to copy the custom modes and data pages from my Spartan Sport that I noticed there isn’t an option to create a custom triathlon mode on the 9 Baro.

@bnorthrop
Understood.
So, just also be aware when MC will be definitely transitioned, you may also not be able to create a new custom triathlon mode for your Spartan.
Future MC will only remain watch setting capabilities for Ambit series and not for Spartan (at least I understand that). -
Winter has come…
Competitions began…
and the Winter Triathlon mode cannot be created…
-
up!!!

@drezvoff You’re persistent.
I, too, really miss the triathlon mode setting. -
@stas-varazhbit I have hope that the watch manufacturer will hear users
-
@drezvoff I support this idea.
I really want winter triathlon, duatlon, aquathlon…
A triathlon power mode.
But I’m not very optimistic.
-
@bulkan in my S9P there is a Triathlon power mode…
-
@egika It doesn’t have power in running… you can call it triathlon power but it doesn’t support power like running power… so I don’t think is a power triathlon.
