Review on Smart watch SUUNTO Spartan Trainer wrist HR, ocean by va Toth ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Purchase failed, very dissatisfied.

With its pros: What I liked - in principle, everything works, although some functionality (for example, heart zones) appeared later as upgrades were released. With its cons: I have to admit that I made the wrong choice. The reasons why the choice fell on Suunto - with similar features to other options, the price (including a chest heart rate monitor) was somewhat lower. What did not like: 1. Dim (even backlit) display. In some cases, you need to look at what is drawn there, do not add brightness. The idea apparently was to save the battery (by the way, even with many hours of training, the clock really works for a long time) but come on, it suffers all the time to be charged not once every 1-2 days, but 4 times ? ! It's not worth it. 2. Clip for charging - specifically stupid. At the slightest movement, the contact leaves, you think that they are charging, you take it - and it's empty there. I decided to write this review just after I came to the next training session with a discharged watch, and they seemed to be charging for half a day . 3. The menu, not only is it not informative, it also changes from version to version 4. When swimming in open water, GPS practically does not work - you can see the distance of the swim only by sticking your hand out of the water and holding it for 5-10 seconds. It doesn’t depend much on style, even crawl, even breaststroke. Naturally, you can’t understand anything with scuba diving until you surface. Maybe, of course, everyone has it (not sure . ), but they would connect an inertial tracker for strokes with GPS correction when there is a signal. 5. The chest heart rate monitor does not transmit information to the watch while it is under water. Accordingly, it is impossible to use it in training to control the pulse, and it is pointless for history, in my case
