Swimrun
-
Je viens de réaliser un swimrun avec la Suunto Race.
J’ai pris soin de d’utiliser l’application Swimrun proposer dans l’application.
Cette application est censée gérer les transitions course et natation.
Au final, je suis très déçu des données récupérer par la Race.- Distance 38km au lieu de 26km.
- Perte du GPS pendant les sections de natation en mer.
- Dénivelé 88200m
au lieu de 700m. - Aucune donnée recueillie par l’application Swimrun contrairement à ce qui est annoncé
Bref, très déçu !

@fabdelamontagne Did you have a good GPS lock before the race?
-
@fabdelamontagne Which sport profile did you use?
As discussed here, this can have major impacts on the result https://forum.suunto.com/topic/2948/what-sport-mode-do-you-use-for-swimrun/
For me, this app would be much better if it was able to change sports mode by itself.
I didn’t have the opportunity to use the app since its latest update (late February 2024), but your message doesn’t show much progress since last autumn

Salut, Nouveau SwimRun ce we, grosse déception du mode switch, sur l’application SwimRun. Cela ne fonctionne pas du tout. La fonction de changement manuel d’activité est beaucoup trop long. Est ce que cela switch automatiquement sur les triathlons?
Merci a Sunnto de creer un mode SWIMRUN !!

Duathlon - Run 10Km (2xrounds) - Bike 50 km - Run 5km -
Hello, have there been any update and improvement to deal with Swimrun race? Especially regarding the transition.
I gave it a try with Running mode on my Suunto Race S with the Swimrun application, and I got the exact same errors as fabdelamontagne. Quite disappointing given that this was a bug discovered a year ago.

I’d like to second this. I’ve posted a request for a configurable multisport mode elsewhere, in my case I need the support for Duathlon. The current options with either manually choosing the next sport, which is a usability nightmare and loses the transitions, or using one of the apps and live with the inevitable errors that occur with the watch trying to automatically detect the transitions, are both unsustainable.
The watch has boatloads of processor power and RAM (for a sports watch), and there is a pre-configured multisport mode for triathlon, which “does things correctly”, including transitions. So where’s the problem to either provide some further pre-configured multisport modes (Duathlon, Swimrun, Cross-Duathlon, …) or provide a mode where the user may set up two or three basic sport modes together with one or two transitions? Shouldn’t be that hard.
Note to Suunto: over all, I’m really satisfied with my Race, in comparison with the Garmin Fenix 6 that I used before that. The Fenix had lots of bugs that Garmin either didn’t fix or even introduced with SW updates, but which they never cared about to fix. The lack of either pre-defined multisport modes or an option to set up a custom multisport mode, complete with transitions, basically is the only major gripe I have with the Race, as I am competing in (Cross) Duathlons several times a year.

@brettacher I concur that the lack of customisable multisport mode is my biggest gripe with my Suunto Race S.
My last swimrun I did with the standard multisport mode, constantly switching between Running and OWS. Not ideal, many buttons to press, a lot of room for error and always a transition that should not be there. The strange thing is that the sportsmode Swimrun exists in the app itself and afterwards I could edit the type of sport from multisport to swimrun…
The Swimrun “app” is a very poor alternative. I have a (very) small hope that with the release of the RUN and the apparwnt intentions to move some functionality from S+ to native, this might be one of the points solved?
Another, smaller, point would be the inclusion of an ultrarun mode to track time in aid stations. Also here the app is lacking…
