zone.

3.18.3. Power zones

Power meter measures the amount of physical effort needed to perform a certain activity. The
effort is measured in watts. The main advantage gained with a power meter is precision. The
power meter reveals exactly how hard you really work and how much power you produce. It
is also easy to see your progress when analyzing the watts.
Power zones can help you train with the correct power output.
Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR has five default power zones that you can use or you can
define your own.
Power zones are available in all default sport modes for cycling, indoor cycling and mountain
biking. For running and trail running, you need to use the specific "Power" sport modes to get
power zones. If you are using custom sport modes, make sure your mode uses a power POD
so that you also get power zones.
