Constantin: monitor effort drift against your session average

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Stavrogin new version should be available now in SA, you may want to give it a try. The code is ~25% smaller in general and there are some additional optimizations added to how the UI drawing is being handled. If that still crashes - I’m afraid I can’t do much without the support from Suunto or logs from V2 running the app

[Stavrogin]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel thanks and I will give it a try

@Stavrogin Did you enable or disable Always-On Display during activities?

Hi everyone, I’ve also been testing Constantin because I’m interested in its setup. I have a V2 and initially started with 3 Suunto Guides (too many, several were faulty), then I switched to 2 Constantin guides and a 3rd grade training guide… also… the watch would freeze or the Constantin screen option would remain BLACK.
If you also use it in conjunction with ZoneSense, it also fails. I don’t think there’s compatibility yet with multiple systems (3 guides + activity and data watch) working outdoors… Suunto could refine these guide options, which are, in my opinion, quite interesting. Thanks, Luckas️

@Elmiuel thanks for your report. If you haven’t - check the current version (updated yesterday in the evening) - I’m getting reports that it’s more stable on V2.

When the particular SuuntoPlus app goes dark it means the watch unloaded it. You can confirm it by going to workout settings during the workout and checking active apps - the uploaded apps should be off.

[Stavrogin]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel I loaded it up and was able to start an activity. However when I hit the lap button Constantin disappeared the first time I tried. On the second attempt I was able to keep it on the screen. Looks like it might be fixed.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I’ve been able to release a few updates oriented around lowering the hardware load of the app and yet even today I’ve received a feedback that the app is rebooting the watch - and it’s always Vertical 2.

Are there any known issues or something that’s not specified in the documentation in relation to Vertical 2? @dimitrios-kanellopoulos , @suuntopartnerteam ?

Can I help somehow in debugging the issue by adding extra logging, etc.?

Constantin 2.02 is out

Quick update for anyone running Constantin, the steady-pacing SuuntoPlus app.

With the 2.x line everything now lives on a single workout screen — pace, heart rate, their trend lines, and your current heart-rate zone, all visible at once. No more switching views with the upper button.

Also, the trend chart zooms in tighter, so a slow drift in pace or heart rate is much easier to catch early — while big swings still fit on screen. If you tend to fade gradually, or your HR creeps up while your pace still looks fine, you’ll spot it sooner (although it may require more fine-tuning for slow drift).

Works on UI2 watches (Suunto 9 Peak Pro and newer). Feedback and bug reports very welcome. I hope that this time it’ll work smoothly with V2 as well.

Happy running!

@Łukasz-Szmigiel this is my favourite app and with me every base run.

Thank you!

Sounds like a great app - unfortunately I don’t have a lot of flat tracks available… is live NGP also possible for the Pace value?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@VoiGAS I’m investigating it. Also speed for biking instead of pace. I mean - it’s possible, why not. The issue is if the platform will handle it all.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@althaea35 thanks, I made it to help me avoid pushing too hard on my runs. My migraine doesn’t like too high effort and hr. Glad to see it’s useful for others!
