Erg blij met mijn 6 km PR maar ik schrok wel een beetje van de hartslag 🤯

Het kan wel enorm verschillen, althans wel bij mij. Ik heb door de jaren heen een aantal inspanningstesten gedaan bij de sportarts in het ziekenhuis. Dat is uiteraard met professionele apparatuur. Ter vergelijking heb ik dit naast een aantal horloges en hartslagbanden gehouden. Puur uit interesse. D

questions about Suunto vs Garmin on VO2 max, HRV etc

VO2 max is an aerobic fitness metric. the watch gets datapoints any time you do some sustained hard efforts. if you're not a "big runner" then it probably doesn't mean anything to you. i don't agree it's a "scam" like the other commenter. it might not necessarily correlate with a lab-tested result,

Suunto Race 2 is what finally allows me to move away from Garmin

When a watch ONLY uses HR Sensor for all calculations (activity, tss, rest, calories) and the sensor literally is shit. How is this acceptable for you? I needed to buy a polar h10 because suunto race s sucks in hr sensor. With Race 2 they should at least reach garmin levels, if not apple. But they d

Should I sell my 9 peak pro?

MIP technology is far superior to the "shiny new amoled" in many ways (very high luminosity scenarios like glacier climbing, and gigantic battery life always on) but i understand the dull colors are not for everyone and the images on their website are a bit misleading, but its NOT a problem of being

Debating between Epix pro and Vertical 2

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like Race S tbh, what I like most about Suunto is the lag free GPS/navigation (the only reason for holding onto Suunto) which is really useful while hiking and to get real time pace while running. Also, I love their calendar. But from software side Suunto is so mu

Convince me to stay with my Suunto Race S (vs switching to Garmin)

I’ve used and returned 2 Race 2’s and a Vertical 2. Suunto Watches look better but that’s where the good of Suunto ends. Everything else Garmin does is far superior to Suunto . This means training load, body battery (Garmin) is far superior to what Suunto does with their “Recovery and Resources” fie

So all of these are great, but which one to choose?(Suunto Race S, Polar avant m3or coros Pace pro)

Hi! I currently own both the Pace Pro and the Race S. I wouldn’t recommend the Race S even to my enemy - in my opinion, this watch is just tragic. To be fair, the UI is much better, and the watch faces are on a level above Coros. However, the main issue is how the entire Suunto firmware is implement

I had the Race S but returned it after a few days. I suffered many issues in this short time: heart rate stopping during activities, map screen freezing in place, lag on the pool. I purchased an Apex 2 which proved to be super reliable, with this watch I have done several triathlon short and middle

Race S stopped tracking sleep

Az alváskövetés kapott adatait reálisnak tartjátok? Eddig egy iWatch mérési eredményeire támaszkodtam és ez a Suunto Race nagyon más eredményeket mér. Eddig pl sokszor kevés volt a mély alvás, de a Suuntoval akár másfél órát is mér.

How is it going for suunto?

Yeah they do seem to struggle a bit with some stuff. What I have found is that polar(for this price range atleast) will be the best if i just want to track my health and know how well recover and how hard i can work out. I find Coros being an option also, but i really dont like the look of theire wa
