3 FEATURES
3.1 Activity monitoring
Your watch keeps track of your overall level of activity throughout
the day. This is an important factor whether you just aim to be fit
and healthy or you are training for an upcoming competition.
It is good to be active, but when training hard, you need to have
proper rest days with low activity.
From the watch face display, swipe up or press the lower button to
see your activity for the day.
Your watch counts steps using an accelerometer. The total step
count accumulates 24/7, even while recording training sessions and
other activities.
In addition to steps, you can tap on the display to see estimated
calories for the day.
14
The ring in both displays indicates how close you are to the
recommended daily activity goals: 10,000 steps and 2,000 calories.
You can also check your activity over the last seven days with a
swipe to the right.
3.2 Airplane mode
Activate airplane mode when needed to turn off all wireless
transmissions. You can activate or deactivate airplane mode from
the main settings menu.
15
3.3 Altimeter
Suunto Spartan Sport uses GPS to measure altitude. Under optimal
signal conditions, eliminating potential errors typical in calculating
GPS position, the GPS altitude reading should give a pretty good
indication of your elevation.
To get a more precise reading from GPS altitude, comparable to
what you can get from barometric altitude, you need additional
sources of data like a gyroscope or Doppler radar to adjust GPS
altitude.
Because Suunto Spartan Sport relies solely on GPS to measure
altitude, if the GPS is not set for maximum accuracy, any filtering is
subject to error and may result in potentially inaccurate altitude
readings.
If you need good elevation readings, ensure your GPS accuracy is set
to Best during the recording.
However, even with the best accuracy, GPS altitude should not be
considered an absolute position. It is an estimation of your real
elevation, and the accuracy of this estimation is heavily dependent
on the surrounding conditions.
16
3.4 Autopause
Autopause pauses the recording of your exercise when your speed is
less than 2 km/h (1.2 mph). When your speed increases to more than
3 km/h (1.9 mph), the recording continues automatically.
You can turn autopause on/off for each sport mode in Suunto
Movescount. You can also turn on or off autopause from the sport
mode settings in the watch before you start your exercise recording.
If autopause is on during a recording, a pop-up notifies you when
the recording is paused automatically.
Tap the resume pop-up to check the current time and battery level.
You can let the recording resume automatically when you start
moving again, or manually resume from the pop-up screen by
pressing the upper button.
