Training Insights
Analyze your training
During workout
Suunto sports watches give you valuable real-time training data for almost any sport. See the information most relevant to you such as distance, pace, heart rate and altitude. Your Suunto sports watch helps you to push when keeping up on your cycling power and tells you to limit your running intensity during your intervals.
The features vary between different models. Please check the product specifications to find out which features are available in your watch.
After workout
After each recorded activity, a recap of your session is shown on the watch together with key data specific to your sport, including recovery time and calories consumed. After your exercise you can transfer your Move to Suunto Movescount for deeper analysis. There you will find informative graphs, lap tables, HR-zones and speed curves that offer detailed insights to your training session.
Long term trends
Suunto Movescount offers you useful overviews to monitor your weekly, monthly and annual training load. Clear graphs illustrate the training you have been doing, summarizing their intensity, distance, etc. Use various analysis tools to compare training sessions to one another, and get understanding of the overall stress you have put on your body.
Daily activity
Daily activity tracking
Suunto sports watches keep track of your overall level of activity throughout the day whenever you’re wearing the watch. This is an important factor whether you just aim to be fit and healthy or you are training for an upcoming competition. Steps are counted using an accelerometer. The total step count accumulates 24/7, also while recording training sessions and other activities. In addition to steps, you can see estimated calories for the day.

Daily heart rate
The daily HR display in Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR watch provides a 12-hour view of your heart rate. This is a helpful source of information about, for example, your recovery state after a hard training session. Sleep quality can also be checked with the daily HR display if you keep the watch on for the night. Furthermore, you get an estimation of your average hourly calorie consumption rate and your lowest heart rate during the 12-hour period.
Training load
Follow your training load trend
Monitoring your training load trend is important to ensure you train at an optimal level towards your goal and avoid overloading. To understand how much you are pushing your body, Suunto Movescount tracks the recovery time from each of your exercises to illustrate your load over time with a trend graph. Ideally the load trend should vary, allowing your body to rest between high intensity exercises. You can monitor your load trend in Suunto Movescount weekly, monthly and yearly.
Train with heart rate
Tracking your heart rate with a heart rate monitor tells you precisely how hard - or easy - your heart is working. Measuring your heart rate can help you from making one of the most common mistakes - training too hard too often, which puts you at risk for injury and burnout. Define your heart rate zones on Suunto Movescount to stay informed about the intensity of your exercise and see details such as calorie consumption and average heart rate.

Train with PTE
Peak Training Effect (PTE) indicates the impact of a training session on your maximum aerobic performance and is most accurate with medium and high intensity training. The measurement is relative to your current fitness level. The fitter you are, the harder you have to work to reach a higher PTE. During each exercise, your Suunto watch evaluates the training effect of your session and records the highest PTE value of the session. On Suunto Movescount, you can follow PTE over time to help you manage your training intensity.
The features vary between different models. Please check the product specifications to find out which features are available in your watch.
Rest & recovery
Know your recovery time
Your connected Suunto sports watch tracks your daily and weekly activity, as well as the remaining recovery time since your last exercise. Recovery time is an estimate 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 on the overall fatigue, accumulating even at lower intensities. Recovery time accumulates from one session to the next, if you train again before the time has expired. In Suunto Movescount, you can see the recovery time from each training session.

Track your feeling
To provide you a 360° view to your training data, a feeling trend supplements the training load and rest & recovery data. By recording on Suunto Movescount how you feel after each training session and following how that changes over time, you get an additional indicator of your physical condition. For instance, if your feeling trend starts to decline, even though your training load has not increased, it may be a sign you need to take a break.
Track your sleep
Suunto Spartan watches track sleep automatically based on accelerometer data. To turn on sleep tracking, go to watch settings, scroll down to Sleep and set Bedtime. Wear the watch overnight to get more detailed information about your sleep, or leave it next to your bed when going to sleep (just remember to pick it up again in the morning) – in which case the watch will track only the total duration of your sleep.
When you wear the watch while you sleep, you will be greeted in the morning with a summary that includes the total duration of your sleep, bedtime and wake up time, average heart rate during sleep (if your watch doesn’t have wrist heart rate tracking, wear a heart rate belt), time awake and time in deep sleep.
Check your recovery status
The connected Suunto sports watches offer various ways to follow your recovery.
With Quick Recovery Test (powered by Firstbeat) you can check your recovery status in just a few minutes by using the Suunto Smart Sensor with your watch. The cumulative percentage score indicates your overall recovery status. The higher the percentage, the more recovered you are. Wear the Suunto Smart Sensor overnight and run the Sleep Recovery Test (powered by Firstbeat) which measures your heart rate variability through the night to give you an accurate indication of your recovery status in the morning when you wake up.
The features vary between different models. Please check the product specifications to find out which features are available in your watch.
Progress
Interval training
Interval workouts are a common form of training consisting of repetitive sets of high and low intensity efforts. With Suunto Spartan watches, you can define your own interval training for each sport mode in your watch. To define an interval workout, you first set the number of repetitions you want to do, then the duration or distance of your high intensity interval, and the length or duration of your recovery period.
Train with Running performance
Running performance is a combined measurement of your physical fitness and your running efficiency. To run faster – or longer with the same effort – you should improve both. Running performance level can guide your training during a single exercise and over the longer term. Following the real-time Running performance level offers detailed, granular information on your daily performance and fatigue during the run. Endurance runners can use this information to learn how much fatigue seems manageable during long intensive runs. During races, this information helps you pace yourself properly. After each run, your Running performance level will be updated and you can track progress.

Progress trend with personal bests
Suunto Movescount automatically analyzes your Moves to identify your best performance in endurance sports such as cycling, swimming and trail running. To follow your running progress over the year, for example, you can compare your running pace for several pre-set distances including 1km, 5km and 10km. You can also monitor your trends according to effort to see if your running condition has improved. With Suunto Spartan, you can follow your personal best results on daily basis directly on your watch.
The on-watch personal bests will be introduced to Spartan later.
