Feature Request: Crop Activity Before Saving

[Brad_Olwin]

@Ecki-D. Yes this feature is on the 9PP, the alarm when starting to move while paused.

A also often forget to stop activity after finish. Very good idea to have function like this on the watch to cut before sync.

@Dimitar-Dulev Make it a part of the mobile app too.

[Inge Nallsson]

@Egika Aha! So that’s the reason. I’ve been a bit surprised by the beep/vibration when walking from point of activity pre-start to the actual place where starting. Mostly I’ve associated it with loaded Structured Workouts from a provider who insists on extremely slow warm-ups - thinking I walked too fast. But this has been confusing since the activity really hasn’t been started for real…

@Egika said in Feature Request: Crop Activity Before Saving:

If you sync to many external services, then you will have to edit all separately. If it is possible on the watch, it will be synced for all in the same way.

I understand your point, but I guess that it would be way easier to implement such a feature on the SA, where it would be also easier to be handled because of a bigger screen. Moreover, for a precise trimming it would need the ability to zoom into the graph to find the right point where to start the crop, especially for long activity. I doubt that this could be easily coded into the watch firmware.

Maybe you’re right about the ease of development on the mobile app.

But in order for external apps like Strava to work properly we would need manual sync with them. Maybe something like:

• Add a Manual partner sync toggle button in Profile → Partner services
• Add a Sync to partner services button in the Home page for when it’s disabled.

Otherwise you’ll still have the bad statistics.

@Dimitar-Dulev Or on the watch you could choose an option like “Save but don’t sync with 3rd parties” and then trim and share it later, after post-editing in the app.

@Brad_Olwin tried it out yesterday but nothing happend so far.
Will check later again, would really be helpful.

[Dimitar Dulev]

@cheetah694 Yep, that sounds like better UX for 90% of the activities.

• An “End without partner sync” button in the watch that marks the activity to not be automatically synced.
• A new crop screen in the app.
• A manual “Sync to partner services” button in these activities.

This sounds like the simplest/cleanest solution technically, I’m interested what Suunto devs think.

Btw I also saw that Garmin Connect’s mobile trim feature only has a time select which would be more than enough for resolving the issue.

I contacted Suunto regarding crop feature. According to customer support this was already available in iOS but not in Android. Can someone with iPhone confirm this?

Reply from customer support:
“the native Trim Activity feature is currently only available on the iOS (iPhone) version of the Suunto App. It is missing entirely on the Android app”

[Ecki D.]

@Goran-Khalaf So far, the only option I have found is Edit → enter the correct distance, but that does not actually trim the activity, so it is of very limited use.

I currently sync my workouts to Strava and crop them there. Another workaround would be to use gpx.studio, trim the activity, delete the original from Suunto, and then import the corrected file again.

But honestly, that is ridiculous for such a basic feature. Suunto should provide proper activity trimming directly in the app. From a development perspective, this should not be a major task.

They should also add a manual sync option, so an activity can be corrected before it is automatically uploaded to connected services.

@Goran-Khalaf not on my iOS.
