Wrong cadence value
-
Will Suunto, running watches, ever show right cadence on watch while running/walking??? Not the half value labeled as rotation. It was on Race 1, it’s on Vertical 2, it’s on Run. I can’t understand while there is so stupid simple bug for ages.
-
@Jan-Suchánek maybe a search on the forum would have helped you, they display rpm because suunto prefer accuracy, spm is a deduction from rpm only rpm could be measured on the side where you have your watch
I also prefer seeing spm because in used to but the conversion is pretty easy or at least it should be
-
@Josaiplu Thanks, but I thought, that an average person must always land on their right foot once between every two landings on their left foot while running or walking. So I can’t see any problem with accuracy if the watch will show “normal” cadence.
-
@Jan-Suchánek I think you misunderstood: the watch measure when your left feet touch the ground and display it. It’s rpm that’s it.
Other watch or software interpolates this rpm to spm -
@Josaiplu And if my left leg hit the ground, there must be my right leg hitting the ground before. That’s what I mean. I don’t think that interpolation in this case brings inaccuracy.
-
@Jan-Suchánek so the right feet touching the ground is not a measured value but an interpoled one
Not my statement but what I read in the forum, anyway I don’t see what prevent you to use rpm rather than spm during your run, just spot 85-90 rather than 170-180
-
@Josaiplu Nothing, just wondering why Suunto has it different.
-
@Jan-Suchánek I agree. Displaying RPM for walking or running makes no sense even if the watch measures it that way. This is advertised as “smart” watch after all.
-
@sky-runner I think it’s a sport watch
as said I also prefer spm but I did not see any issue to change mind goal to use rpm (and cadence is one of the 4 field of my my data screen during all my run activities)
Cheers
