Review on Smart watch SUUNTO Spartan Trainer wrist HR, ocean by Felicja Kwiatkowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect product for any user!

The agony of choice forced me to analyze the market, at first I even took a junior model from the Ambit3 line (focusing on needs), but I was embarrassed by the lack of vibration and the inability to connect bicycle sensors; changed to Spartan trner and very happy. The main advantage is the information content of the interface (this can be underestimated when choosing, they say it’s not necessary, but believe me - it’s much more convenient). The second plus is vibro; if something goes beyond, you will at least feel the signal. Well, the ability to connect up to 5 different sensors at the same time is useful for cycling training. About the built-in heart rate monitor: it is better to connect a chest sensor (based on ECG) if the pulse is really important to you, because the pulse determined by "skin translucence" will always have an error associated with movements, the proximity of the sensor to the hand, the position of this hand relative to the heart, etc. P. But, on the other hand, on a long trip, where you will hardly grab a chest strap, you will have the opportunity to stop and measure your pulse while looking at your watch. Here I read reviews about the inaccuracy of determining movements when swimming - guys, take pity, for this money, and even without money, can you imagine how difficult the algorithm for working with an accelerometer should be? GPS does not work under water - well, this is normal, if we are not talking about a military submarine. I also perceive the step counting algorithm more as a general indicator of mobility, because. for 2 hours of office incubation, the clock counted me about 500 steps (the latest firmware), but I didn’t go anywhere at all, I typed something and waved my hands periodically, I have such a job =)

Pros
  • Price Informative! vibro Ability to connect multiple sensors Navigation No touch display
Cons
  • Built-in heart rate monitor (it could have been even cheaper without it). Autonomy is the lowest in the series.
