Structured Workouts in Suunto App for SUUNTO 9 Onwards watches - When???????
-
@fejker I know that. My question is WHY and WHEN THIS watch have this update.
Does not make sense.
What i what with this post is alert SUUNTO. -
@goncalot3 trust me, they have been “alerted” many times and many years. It is until people stop buying their watches, they will finally realize how they are wrong.
-
It’s the number one (edit: actually the only thing) thing I’m missing, for now I just wear an old Polar watch on the other wrist when the complexity of the workout means I frequently look down at my watch and do some arithmetic
To be fair, I never checked to see if the feature was available before I bought it, I kind of assumed it was going to be there, d’oh!
-
@goncalot3 i respect that Suunto don’t want bring SI for their models. I think it is a error, but ok. But the actual solution with Simple intervals is incomplete. I think that is not so much work to add in watch the possibility to custom assymetric values distance/time. Then exist a one more possibility, import from other platforms like TP a workout, like @Brad_Olwin in past show as possibility.
-
If/when I replace my Ambit3 it won’t be with a Suunto watch unless this has been implemented - even the ability to import workouts would be adequate as I can create them in Trainingpeaks. I do wonder if Suunto are considering something like an auto-import from Trainingpeaks instead of interval creation in the app/web - with the ‘gold partner’ scheme they have for 3rd party systems.
If not then something like Sigma’s ID.Tri is looking very tempting as a replacement.
-
@Luís-Pinto I don’t have TP and i don’t have to have some app that i have to buy to do somethink that a SPORTWATCH should do.
-
The web interface and structured intervals were (and still are) the first and second requested features if you sorted by votes… well you can see how much progress has been made on either of those…
-
Really?
a simple search on the forum could have produced this result: https://forum.suunto.com/post/38014Among the information material of suunto, related to 9, you have not found references to structured training, so I do not see why you have to raise the voice for a function that you want but has not been declared available. There are a thousand other watches that have that function, if needed, buy one of those. Just pollute this forum with structured trainings, if Suunto hasn’t done them so far there’s a reason. You may like it or not, but it’s a fact.

I think I agree with most of the posters above. I really cannot understand why Suunto is thinking about Triathlon sport mode and not be aware that any decent Triathloner will be thinking about doing some complex interval training. I really don’t think there is so much complexity in coding that in the firmware…
To me Suunto neglecting this area is really inconceivable.

Because probably decent and serious Triathlete do it without using a watch … my guess, I’m not a triathlete and not even a runner
Looking at Suunto’s Ambassadors I guess they evaluated this topic

@sartoric
my wife runs marathon and has ambit3r but she does all intervalls and trainings out of her memory… but she has a proper training plan from a running guide -
I was bought a Suunto 9 for Xmas and while it’s a fantastic watch, I’m going to have to return it today and change for a Garmin as it doesn’t have structured workouts. I don’t get this at all, it’s such a key feature!
-
@margusl So just to confirm, these MC structured workouts will only work on Ambit 3 and not Suunto 9?
-
@Mat-P That seems to be the case but those structures could only be programmed through the movescount app which has been discontinued and removed from android or Apple stores.

Correct, this - https://youtu.be/YXLLde55klA - has only worked with Ambit3. And as @jsuarez said, MC app is not installable directly from app stores, so I guess this feature is not officially supported anymore, even for Ambits. Though it still works. And as MC app installation seems to be disabled through region restrictions, it still is (or at least was last week, on Android) downloadable from play store with the help of APK downloaders.

That’s such a shame, I really wanted to keep this watch but its kind of a dealbreaker. Thanks for the info.

@jsuarez Thankyou
