Suunto Movescount includes heat maps (Heatmaps) for more than 15 sports, including running, cycling, swimming in open water, hiking, skiing, surfing, etc. When training for a specific competition, the goal is to find the best places and routes for training, both popular areas and less crowded places. In addition, it is important to continue training during vacations and work trips. When training in a new place, it is always an advantage to know the most popular places in each area.

With Suunto Movescount heat maps (Heatmaps) you can locate the most popular routes in each area or create your own route with the help of topographic maps. Routes can also be downloaded on Suunto Spartan watches.

Expert knowledge in 80 sports

The clocks include preconfigured modes with metric parameters and multiple display options for 80 sports, such as running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, hiking, ski mountaineering, etc.

The most popular sports such as running or cycling, have specific modes for obstacle courses, interval training or the treadmill. For example, in interval training, the last times and the heart rate are displayed on the screen.

Accurate metric parameters

With GPS, FusedSpeedTM and integrated accelerometer, both Suunto Spartan Ultra and Suunto Spartan SPORT accurately measure the pace, speed, distance and height based on GPS. In addition, if you add power and bike sensors, you get the power and the cadence when running and pedaling. Obviously, Suunto Spartan watches offer specific swimming functions such as rhythm, number of strokes, SWOLF and heart rate.

Suunto Spartan Ultra and Spartan SPORT use the Suunto Smart Sensor to accurately measure heart rate, calories, training load and recovery time. Many users who dedicate themselves to a sport in a serious way value the precision in the training and the number of users who wish to have an easy reading of the heart rate in the wrist is increasing. The Suunto Spartan family of watches will continue to expand this year and, at Christmas, will be launched new Suunto Spartan SPORT models with Smart Sensor and heart rate reader on the wrist.

Training data

The data obtained during the training by the watch and Suunto Movescount allow to analyze the training load, the periods of rest and recovery and the progress to plan the next training. For example, to monitor progress, Suunto Spartan watches offer you the best times in each sport. The best times can be based on duration, altitude and power (eg faster 5 km race or maximum pedaling power for 20 min).

Starting in September, the Suunto Spartan and Suunto Movescount watches will display the daily activity classified by days of training, activity, recovery and rest. In this way it will be easier to monitor and balance the periods of training and rest.

 

 

Progress in community

Since June, Suunto uses the collected data to generate valuable information for users about training. Suunto Movescount is expanding with features such as the best personal trends, group comparisons and community training information. These new community tools will be available to all Suunto Movescount users.

Progress based on group comparisons

Suunto Movescount allows the user to compare their personal best times, whether general or annual, with those of the group to determine their progression. For example, you can compare the best time obtained in 1900 m of swimming in the open sea and determine if your result is between the first 20% of the group and the speed you must reach to ascend to the first 10%.

In addition to monitoring and analyzing personal performance, Suunto Movescount offers real information about the type of training that other users who belong, for example, to the same age group have done to reach their objectives. The user can compare their training habits with those of other users who train for a similar goal, such as a half marathon, and obtain real data on the type of preparation they follow.

Detailed coaching

Invite your preparer to access your Suunto Movescount training diary so you can see your training history and information. Based on these data, your preparer can offer you online recommendations and create training plans that you can download on the watch.

All new community functions will be available starting in September.
