Review on Smart watch SUUNTO 5, burgundy copper by Bogusawa Maria Galus ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Low quality, I will not buy this anymore.

Total: like the old joke, in theory we have a pricey high-tech sports device, but in practice we have a cuckoo clock embedded in a gypsy fortune teller who also works as a programmer for the government.

Pros
  • They display the time and a person's heart rate. A workout plan can be made on a smartphone and then transferred to a watch (if, of course, they are connected to the phone). The "training template" may sound haughty, but in reality, you have control over the information that is shown to you.
Cons
  • First, that's a monstrous program. They discussed it in their writings. Very horrible. No one knows their pulse at the start of training. The official guideline I read mentioned doing something like this before beginning actual training: "switch on the training mode." It's weird, therefore, that I should want a "sports" watch that can't tell time. Thirdly, in the year 2022, this brand has no representation and receives no backing. In my experience, the wait time for the site's single chat room is 20 minutes. There was no means of communication, not even formal correspondence. There is no known address. The only (!) service center in the country told me I would have to pay to have the watch shipped there. To all the Garmin haters out there, hello. 4) Users complained that the screen is too small, too dark, and too uninformative (it looks nothing like the promotional images), and that the battery dies quickly even when the device is set to "clock" mode and not receiving any data or notifications. By the way, the notifications on 1,500 of the popular Chinese brand's fitness bracelets are even less reliable than on your average smartphone: you'll either never receive any alerts at all, or you'll receive alerts from every type of email every two to three minutes, including business email. What is the "adaptive training" feature of this watch, which is included in all versions? You work out today, and then you rest tomorrow, and then you work out again, you get it. This option contains very useful tips. This feature could be depressing because it evaluates the quality of your fitness, stress, and sleep. Its owner's health, probably, as Indians were better at predicting rain than this equipment. 6) The watch's internal infographics are a logical nightmare; it's impossible to do justice to them with a limited vocabulary. Tested on enduro training, using a GPS device is painful and makes you want to smack the developer over the head with a stick.
