@Egika said in Ambit3 Vertical in 2024 - and beyond?:
technology has advanced!
No need to use a decade old algorithm as we now have TSB and HRV measured during your sleep.
If technology has advanced, how come that the recovery section in the manual of the S9 (that was a top-of-the-line product with optical HR) is so much shorter than in the Ambit manual? That was my point. I agree with you that we don’t need it now anymore in 2024, but there was a feature loss over several watch generations: Spartan Ultra and S9B up to S9P. Only S9PP and newer have HRV automatically measured over night.
The static recovery test is a measurement done at one point - noone knows what your body has done an hour before etc.
That is why Polar suggested that one should do the test straight after waking up. Again, I agree that measuring during sleep is better, so starting with the S9PP the situation has improved compared to the Ambit series.
It is just outdated. Technology advances and we will soon see innovative new acitivity metrics in our Suuntos 🙂
I‘ll keep my eyes open. Thanks for the indication!
