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 ring in both displays indicates how close you are to the recommended daily activity goals: 10,000 steps and 2,000 calories. 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. 3.3 Altimeter Suunto Spartan Sport uses GPS to measure altitude.
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.
NOTE: Backlight brightness affects battery life. The brighter the backlight is, the quicker the battery drains. 3.5 Button and screen lock While recording an exercise you can lock both the buttons and screen by keeping the lower right button pressed. Once locked, you cannot change the display views, but 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.
To exit the compass, swipe right or keep the middle button pressed. 3.6.1 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. 3.6.2 Setting declination To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination value. Paper maps point to true north.
magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true 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). Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north.
Good Very good Excellent What these options mean exactly are up to you (and your coach) to decide. The important thing is that you use them consistently. For each training session, you can record how you felt in the watch directly after stopping the recording by answering the 'How was it?' question. • • • You can skip answering the question by pressing the middle button and instead add how you felt later by editing the Move in Suunto Movescount.
For longer-term trend analysis, go to your Moves page. Select the time period you want to see from the calendar and scroll down to the Rest & Recovery section to see the feeling trend graph. 3.9 FusedSpeed FusedSpeedTM is a unique combination of GPS and wrist acceleration sensor readings for measuring your running speed more accurately.
acceleration, giving more accurate readings at steady running speeds and a quicker responses to changes in speed. 12 10 8 km/h 6 sec 30 60 GPS 90 120 FusedSpeed FusedSpeed benefits you the most when you need highly reactive speed readings during training, for example, when running on uneven terrain or during interval training.
12 10 8 km/h 6 sec 30 60 GPS 90 120 FusedSpeed TIP: To get the most accurate readings with FusedSpeed, only glance shortly at the watch when needed. Holding the watch in front of you without moving it reduces the accuracy. FusedSpeed is automatically enabled for running and other similar types of activities, such as orienteering, floor ball and football (soccer). 3.
The GPS accuracy options are: • Best: ~ 1 sec fix rate with full power • Good: ~ 1 sec fix rate with low power • OK: ~ 60 sec fix rate with full power When set to Best, your watch is using GPS at full power all the time. In full power mode, the GPS is able to filter out interference and get the best fix. This results in the best track accuracy, but also use the battery the most.
High Low 60 sec 60 sec 60 sec 60 sec The pre-defined sport modes that come with your watch generally use BEST. If the sport mode is intended for long events, the GPS accuracy is set to Good. If you navigate a route without starting a recording, the GPS accuracy is automatically set to Best. 3.11 Heart rate sensor You can use a Bluetooth® Smart compatible heart rate sensor, such as the Suunto Smart Sensor, with your Suunto Spartan Sport to get accurate information about your exercise intensity.
activities where speed is used to estimate intensity. However, we recommend using a heart rate sensor to get accurate intensity readings. Refer to the user guide for Suunto Smart Sensor or other Bluetooth® Smart compatible heart rate sensor for additional information.

3.18 Recovery time Recovery time is an estimate in hours of how long your body needs to recuperate after training. The time is based on the duration and intensity of the training session, as well as your overall fatigue. Recovery time accumulates from all types of exercise. In other words, you accumulate recovery time on long, low intensity training session as well as at high intensity.
Because recovery time is an estimation only, the accumulated hours count down steadily regardless of your fitness level or other individual factors. If you are very fit, you may recover faster than estimated. On the other hand, if you have the flu, for example, your recovery may be slower than estimated. 3.19 Routes You can use your Suunto Spartan Sport to navigate routes. Plan your route in Movescount and transfer it to your watch with the next sync.
Preview the route by taping on the route name or pressing the middle button. You can navigate the route in the preview. Zoom in and out by tapping the screen or pressing the middle button. Adjust the zoom level with the upper and lower buttons. All sport modes with GPS also have a route selection option.
