5.4.7. GPS accuracy and power saving
The GPS fix rate determines the accuracy of your track - the shorter the interval is between
fixes, the better the track accuracy is. Each GPS fix is recorded in your log when recording an
exercise.
The GPS
fix rate also directly aects battery life. By reducing GPS accuracy, you can extend
the battery life of your watch.
The GPS accuracy options are:
•
Best: ~ 1 sec fix rate
•
Good: ~ 60 sec fix rate
You can change GPS accuracy from the sport options in your watch or in Suunto app.
Whenever you navigate a route or a POI, the GPS accuracy is automatically set to Best.
NOTE: The first time you exercise or navigate with GPS, wait for the watch to acquire a
GPS fix before starting. This may take 30 seconds or more depending on conditions.
5.5. Daily activity
5.5.1. 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, the
watch provides a summary of your activity.
From the watch face display, press the lower right 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 press the upper left button 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).
