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.
The ring in both displays indicates how close you are to the recommended daily activity goals: 10,000 steps and 2,000 calories. You can also check your activity over the last seven days with a swipe to the right. 3.2 Airplane mode Activate airplane mode when needed to turn off all wireless transmissions.
3.3 Altimeter Suunto Spartan Sport uses GPS to measure altitude. Under optimal signal conditions, eliminating potential errors typical in calculating GPS position, the GPS altitude reading should give a pretty good indication of your elevation. To get a more precise reading from GPS altitude, comparable to...
2 km/h (1.2 mph). When your speed increases to more than 3 km/h (1.9 mph), the recording continues automatically. You can turn autopause on/off for each sport mode in Suunto Movescount. You can also turn on or off autopause from the sport mode settings in the watch before you start your exercise recording.
3.5 Backlight The backlight has two modes: automatic and toggle. In automatic mode, the backlight comes on with any screen touch or button press. In toggle mode, you turn the backlight on with a two-finger tap. The backlight stays on until you tap with two fingers again. By default, the backlight is in automatic mode.
3.7 Compass Suunto Spartan Sport has a digital compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally level. You can access the compass from the launcher under Navigation »...

3.11 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 affects battery life.
3.12 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. If you use the Suunto Smart Sensor, you also have the added...

Openwater swimming relies on GPS to calculate distance. Because GPS signals do not travel under water, the watch needs to come out of the water periodically, such as with the freestyle stroke, to get a GPS fix. These are challenging conditions for GPS, so it is important that you have a strong GPS signal before you jump in the water.
Stop the stopwatch by tapping the stop icon or pressing the lower button. You can resume by tapping the start icon or pressing the upper button again. To reset the stopwatch, tap the reset icon or press the lower button. Exit the stopwatch by swiping right or keeping the middle button pressed.

Under General » Time/date, tap Dual time to set the time zone by selecting a location. 3.24.1 Alarm clock Your watch has an alarm clock that can sound once or repeat on specific days.
When the alarm sounds, you can dismiss it to end the alarm, or you can select the snooze option. The snooze time is 10 minutes and can be repeated up to 10 times. If you let the alarm continue to sound, it will automatically snooze after 30 seconds.
