Glad to help you.

If you ask suunto team to add a new one, maybe it can take 6 months or more.

@wakarimasen doesn’t surprise me coming from someone with an expletive in their bio.

@GiPFELKiND simple, because I believe that proper fitness tests are better than estimations. How FirstBeat and other services work is: you run normally, and they predict what your threshold would be, even if you are not running close at all to said threshold. This works in some cases, does not in others. One example is if you purposefully run in lower zones for endurance training, the algorithm will most probably give you a lower threshold than what it should be if you’re a trained amateur.
Fitness tests are designed to let you reach the threshold, so you measure it, not just predict it. Well, the tests we do outside the lab are still partially just assumptions, but they are more precise, and are the tests your coach would prescribe to assess your fitness.

There is an old discussion on the forum about the topic, I’ll link to it later.

@isazi but if you race a 10km you maybe push harder than when you are trying to reach limit alone and having S+ enabled. And if you don’t enable S+ app you don’t have your threshold updated or you have to calculate it manually. I use initervals.icu and it does this. I’m very happy when I get mail with nice ride or nice run and beat my PB or something It is very motivating for me

@isazi wivh S+ specifically are you referring to?
