3. Features

3.1. Activity monitoring

Your watch keeps track of your overall activity level 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.
The activity counter automatically resets at midnight every day. At the end of the week (Sunday), the watch provides a summary of your activity showing your average for the week and daily totals.
From the watch face display, swipe up or press the lower button to see your total steps for the day.
Your watch counts steps using an accelerometer. The total step count accumulates 24/7, also while recording training sessions and other activities. However, with some specific sports, such as swimming and cycling, steps are not counted.
In addition to steps, you can tap on the display to see estimated calories for the day.
The large number in the center of the display is the estimated amount of active calories you have burned so far during the day. Below this you see the total calories burned. The total includes both active calories and your Basal Metabolic Rate (see below).
The ring in both displays indicates how close you are to your daily activity goals. These targets can be adjusted to your personal preferences (see below)
You can also check your steps over the last seven days with a swipe to the left. Swipe left or press the middle button again to see calories consumption.
Swipe up to check your activity over the last seven days in numbers instead of a graph.
13
Activity goals
You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. While in the activity display, tap and hold your finger on the screen or keep the middle button pressed to open the activity goal settings.
When setting your steps goal, you define the total number of steps for the day.
The total calories you burn per day is based on two factors: your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and your physical activity.
Your BMR is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. These are the calories your body needs to stay warm and perform basic function like blink your eyes or beat your heart. This number is based on your personal profile, including factors such as age and gender.
When you set a calorie goal, you your BMR. These are your so-called active calories. The ring around the activity display advances according to how many active calories you burn during the day compared to your goal.
define how many calories you want to burn in addition to

3.2. Airplane mode

Activate airplane mode when needed to turn o wireless transmissions. You can activate or deactivate airplane mode from the settings under Connectivity.
NOTE: To pair anything with your device, you need to first turn o airplane mode if you have it on.

3.3. Altimeter

Suunto Spartan Ultra uses barometric pressure to measure altitude. To get accurate readings, you need to define an altitude reference point. This can be your current elevation if you know the exact value. Alternatively, you can use FusedAlti (see 3.3.1. FusedAlti) to set your reference point automatically.
Set your reference point from the settings under Outdoor.
14

3.3.1. FusedAlti

FusedAltiTM provides an altitude reading that is a combination of GPS and barometric altitude. It minimizes the eect of temporary and oset errors in the final altitude reading.
NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched o, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.

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 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 see and switch between the current distance, HR, time, 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.

3.5. Backlight

The backlight has two modes: automatic and toggle. In automatic mode, the backlight comes on with any screen touch or button press.
NOTE: If the watch been idle for 60 seconds or more, the backlight can only be activated by a button press.
In toggle mode, you turn the backlight on with a two-finger tap. The backlight stays on until you tap with two fingers again.
By default, the backlight is in automatic mode. You can change the backlight mode as well as the backlight brightness from the settings under General » Backlight.
15
NOTE: Backlight brightness aects battery life. The brighter the backlight is, the quicker the battery drains.
Standby backlight
When you are not actively using the watch by touching the screen or pressing buttons, the watch goes into a standby mode after one minute. The display is on, but in some low-light conditions, the screen might not be easily readable.
To improve readability in low-light conditions, you can use the standby backlight. This is a low­brightness backlight that is on all the time.
You can toggle the standby backlight on or o from the settings under General » Backlight » Standby.
Even though the standby backlight brightness is quite low, it decreases overall battery life because it is on all the time.

3.6. Bluetooth connectivity

Suunto Spartan Ultra uses Bluetooth technology to send and receive information from your mobile device when you have paired your watch with the Suunto app. Same technology is also used when pairing PODs and sensors.
However, if you do not want your watch to be visible for Bluetooth scanners, you can activate or deactivate the discovery setting from the settings under CONNECTIVITY » DISCOVERY.
The Bluetooth can also be completely turned o by activating airplane mode, see 3.2. Airplane mode.

3.7. Button and screen lock

While recording an exercise you can lock the buttons by keeping the lower right button pressed. Once locked, you cannot perform any actions that requires button interaction (create laps, pause/end exercise etc.) but it is possible to scroll the display views and you can turn on the backlight with any button press if the backlight is in automatic mode.
To unlock everything, keep the lower right button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the screen on again.

3.8. Compass

Suunto Spartan Ultra has a digital compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally level.
16
You can access the compass from the launcher under Navigation » Compass.
The compass display includes the following information:
•
Arrow pointing to magnetic north
•
Heading cardinal
•
Heading in degrees
•
Time of day (local time) or battery level; tap on screen to change views
To exit the compass, swipe right or keep the middle button pressed.
While you are in the compass display, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen or press the lower button to open a list of shortcuts. The shortcuts give you quick access to navigation actions such as checking the coordinates of your current location or selecting a route to navigate.
Swipe down or press the upper button to exit the list of shortcuts.

3.8.1. Calibrating compass

If the compass is not calibrated, you are prompted to calibrate the compass when you enter the compass display.
If you want to re-calibrate the compass, you can start the calibration again from the settings under Navigation » Calibrate compass.

3.8.2. Setting declination

To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination value.
Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’s magnetic North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be found from websites such as www.magnetic-declination.com).
fields pull. Because magnetic North and true
17
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north. If you are using an orienteering map, you need to turn the declination correction o by setting the declination value to 0 degrees.
You can set your declination value from the settings under Navigation » Declination.

3.9. Device info

You can check details of your watch software and hardware from the settings under General » About.

3.10. Display theme

To increase the readability of your watch screen while exercising or navigating, you can change between light and dark themes.
With the light theme, the display background is light and the numbers dark.
With the dark theme, the contrast is reverse, with the background dark and the numbers light.
The theme is a global setting that you can change in your watch from any of your sport mode options.
To change display theme in sport mode options:
1. Go to any sport mode and swipe up or press the lower button to open the sport mode
options.
2. Scroll down to Theme and press the middle button.
3. Switch between Light and Dark by swiping up or down or by pressing the upper and lower
buttons, and accept with the middle button.
4. Scroll back up to exit the sport mode options, and start (or exit) the sport mode.

3.11. Do Not Disturb mode

The Do Not Disturb mode is a setting that mutes all sounds and vibrations and dims the screen, making it a very useful option when wearing the watch in, for example, a theater or any environment where you want the watch to operate as usual, but silently.
