Is there already a feature suggestion in the forum that I can upvote?
You can use the Search button
True, I found (and upvoted) this one: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/1072/concatenation-of-multiple-moves-in-single-one/

@taziden I disagree on this use case
If Iām running a ultra and sleep a couple of hours per night, fine, it is the same activity, and in this case saving battery could be good, if I remember to start the activity again while sleep deprived, and then wait for the watch to reacquire GPS and such. If I am hiking and sleep for 8-10 hours during the night, it is not a single activity anymore, it is multiple ones.Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

@isazi I understand your points.
Another example of how I see it, with multiple activities, Iām unable to share my āadventureā with my friends from SA. Instead of a single track covering the whole GR, I only have fragments with multiple activities and have to send 4 links etc. Not nice.S9PP

But maybe I should run my hikes and do them in one day instead of 4
-
@taziden fair point. There are also services made exactly to share multi-day adventures, e.g. adventurelog.io
So I get the sharing with others, that could be a feature of the app, but the metrics would be all weird. Did you do a 24 hours activity, or four 8 hours ones? Is the effect on your body the same?Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

True but Iād rather not use too much 3rd-party services, privacy concerns, etc.
Having everything in SA is already a major trade-off for me.So I get the sharing with others, that could be a feature of the app, but the metrics would be all weird. Did you do a 24 hours activity, or four 8 hours ones? Is the effect on your body the same?
I get what you say but Suunto should rephrase its slogan:
āAdventure starts here, then you stop your adventure for the night and start a new one next morningā -
@taziden suunto implies that you shouldnāt sleep

@DMytro
go ultra
itās a philosophical question IMO. when you go to sleep, why resuming the previous activity again? itās a new day, new activity etcā¦ -
@freeheeler agree, but I guess itās fair to let everyone decide on their own.
E.g. I tend not to pause when Iām resting during the hikes ( unless Iām in a hut and GPS freaks out) to see realistic values of the time I need for ascent. This way I can use it as an estimate next time Iām doing the same route or smth similar.
-
@DMytro If you go to sleep, the next activity is a new activity, unless itās a multi day hike/run and Iād like to have it logged as one activity.

@TrailEyes - how long does it take your HR to get back in lineā¦
Normally within 2 mins my HR is back within zone 1 maybe still a zone 2 depending on how hard I have been pushing it.
So would then pause at this point in time - you would probably stop the activity.
30mins later I resume, you start. I have one activity at the end, you have 2 - 3 activities. I just prefer the cleaner look of one activity, especially as I can see the whole track of what we have done, I donāt have to add up 3-4 tracks to see total distance, I donāt have to restart the navigation each time etc etc. Just a lot more convenient.Also if tracking a walk into town and or a walk around a park or historical house and gardens etc and you end up going in and out of buildings - especially in and out of buildings just pausing your activity can end up taking quite a hit on GPS as it burns more battery trying to get maintain a fix in an area it canāt. And while sure i have battery to burn, and its not going to prevent me from being able to track that day, the difference is that using resume later I still only need to charge say once a week, rather than having to charge twice that week.

This is an interesting discussion, if enough demand for it we should have this butā¦.I will never use it. Since I run ultras, I never pause the watch because all the time on my feet counts in a race. I typically do not record activities where I am not exercising so going in and out of places is not an issue. When out on long runs I do not pause for filtering water or slowing down/stopping to eat since in a race the clock will keep ticking. Thinking of a 320k ultra the year after this, my watch would run even when sleeping since the race has a time limit.
I realize for different individuals this matters. I would make your desires known to Suunto as they try hard to meet customer wishes. -
@Brad_Olwin altough I donāt own the watch, this is a feature that garmin watch has and I find useful in one case:
I am using it on a bike ride (I donāt run that much), and we stop to have lunch, or even to camp (bikepacking) and the device is not wasting battery, nor wobbling around on the gps.
Also it allows me to have āfullā ride and not segmented.
Unofrtunately on garmin side, they didnāt implemented this on the edge computers, and is annoying, but you can put them to sleep.It is not a super use case, and for sure we can merge tracks with 3rd party tools, but being integrated is neat.
Not sure if suunto app can do it, but if it can merge two activities, can already be a " solution". -
@AndrƩ-Faria Many places to merge activities and upload to Suunto. I typically merge online and then send through Runalyze or RunGap (iOS).
-
@Brad_Olwin I donāt use third party apps. I think Suunto app is a freaking awesome app.
-
@skifun Agreed but it you want to merge activities you can export fit files or have them automatically exported, then re-import.
I use Training Peaks and have used TP longer than Suunto online (prior to MovesCount). SA does not have sufficient Training Planning Tools for me but that may come, there are a lot of improvements happening with the app. If Training Planning gets implemented I will say goodbye to TP. -

@Brad_Olwin I understand all that, but I think a lot of clients prefer to stay on suunto app. And I believe Suunto also learned that āfastā with the recent training center on the app.
As clients we come to the forum, to ask , but also we take our time to explain why. If we didnāt knew the alternives we would ask on how to do it.
Everytime I see this kind of answers, it makes me think that Suunto sometimes is still in the old wayā¦where we have to go 3rd parties, import, export etc.
Fortunately the app evolution shows the opposite, simplicity and integration.
Hope the watches follow even more this line.
Features like this simplify the life for the little ambitions of those who buys the watch and just want to enjoy it.
I also work on product development and when we have little resources every feature that the client asks, becomes a little stressful and maybe unneeded, but if it asked many times, maybe there is a reason, even if on the teams they donāt see it that way.PS: nothing personal, quite like to see different ways of thinking also, and I think Suunto is evolving fast.
-
@Brad_Olwin all good, but you lose data or it is not displayed in SA, for example cadence graph, power graph when cycling. Otherwise this would be a solution
-
@AndrƩ-Faria Resume later was a question in that latest survey. I certainly see the need for it whether or not I might use it. This is especially true as battery life keeps getting longer. I think we should have the flexibility but what I wanted to stress is I think Suunto is fairly responsive to survey preferences if enough demand it should be implemented. I am frustrated as well by import limitations in SA, I have accidentally deleted exercises and importing often is not perfect.
