3 FEATURES 3.1 Activity monitoring Your watch keeps track of your overall level of activity throughout the day.

It is good to be active, but when training hard, you need to have proper rest days with low activity.
You can activate or deactivate airplane mode from the main settings menu. 3.3 Altimeter Suunto Spartan Ultra uses barometric pressure to measure altitude.

Set your reference point from the settings under Outdoor. 3.3.1 FusedAlti FusedAlti provides an altitude reading that is a combination of GPS and barometric altitude. It minimizes the effect of temporary and offset errors in the final altitude reading. NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation.

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).
