SuuntoPlus sports app suggestions

isazi

We may have to find a better section for this, but I love the idea to collect suggestions for S+ sport apps!

I can also, if I happen to have some free time (not always easy), implement some and see if they are doable/working.

I’d like to have a note s+ screen, let me explain:
When I go hiking I get there and back by bus/train. Thus it’s crucial for me not to miss the last one. If I have a few words numbers on a dedicated screen like ‘last bus 22:10’ or ‘hut at 12km’ or ‘via ferrata cut-off 16:00’ - that would be very neat!

Also an analog of climb pro that takes into account a loaded track would be cool. Maybe an advanced ETA metric that doesn’t just look at current speed but also at altitude gain/loss.

Talking via ferrata: it would be amazing, if possible, to create an s+ screen that basically says ‘next 200m difficulty A’, then ‘emergency exit in 50m’, then ‘next 100m difficulty C’. Of course user would have to put in the values beforehand, maybe exact length is not available for most of via ferratas, then to just have a list of consequent difficulties like ‘A-C-A-B-D-B/C’ or smth similar.

This has been requested, I cannot say anything, but if coming it will not be via S+, just backed in the firmware.

It is already possible with S+ guides. A bit annoying to create, but possible

My S+ sport app suggestion: broadcasting HR to Karoo2

My obvious answer: more than one at the same time

My sports app suggestion would be use sensors to estimate nordic ski discipline used (automatic detection of classical or skate style, or even better what technique within each style, V1, V2, V2 alternate etc) or nordic ski power like Garmin introduced some time ago. That might require an external sensor like a HR belt.

For pool swimmers Suunto + app to add the missing and must have pool swim features, mainly drill mode ( do kick sets and have that distance added to total swim distance and tagged as drill in the after the fact summary in SA also, drill pace shouldn’t be taken into consideration for the swim avg pace for each automatic interval.

And a plus would be, learning of swim styles to better detect what you’re swimming.

This will basically mean for me use only one watch and not an ambit 3 for pool swim

Depth GAUGE and timer etc… For apnea!

isazi

@etienneherr the baro sensor cannot double as depth sensor, except for the S9PP.

etienneherr

@isazi so it could be available for s9pp and next watches depending on HW?

isazi

@etienneherr the S9PP already support “apnea” in two sport modes: snorkeling and mermaiding.

etienneherr

@isazi I understand only 10m depth? Is it hardware limit?

isazi

@etienneherr yes, it’s a hardware limit. The watch is still waterproof to 100m under water, but should not be used to reliably measure depth under 10m.

zadow

@herlas how many upvotes shall I give for it to make this dream come true?

herlas

@zadow I know, but we’ll keep pushing

S+ for anaerobic threshold in running is available to determine HR/pace zone 4/5 limit. Why not make S+ for determination of aerobic threshold in running such as Uphill Athlete Heat rate Drift test in combination with Training peaks Pa:HR ratio function for zone 2 upper limit. With both S+ apps user would have 2 tests for better definition of HR/pace zones for running.

DMytro

I’d like to have a stair counter s+ for circuit traing or running profiles.

LitchiMonster

Would love for a Climb Pro type feature, where you upload a pre-planned route, and the major climbs are identified along the route. When in the activity, it would then tell you distance to start of climb, and when you’re on the climb how much further to the top and the gradient. This would be great for trail running, cycling and mtb. I suppose it could be done within the app, where waypoints are placed at the start and end of each climb.

isazi

@LitchiMonster this has been requested, but it is part of navigation, not the S+.
