Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR
3.3. Altimeter
Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR 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 what you can get from
barometric altitude, you need additional sources of data like a gyroscope or Doppler radar to
adjust GPS altitude.
Because Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR relies solely on GPS to measure altitude, if the GPS is
not set for maximum accuracy, any filtering is subject to error and may result in potentially
inaccurate altitude readings.
If you need good elevation readings, ensure your GPS accuracy is set to Best during the
recording.
However, even with the best accuracy, GPS altitude should not be considered an absolute
position. It is an estimation of your real elevation, and the accuracy of this estimation is heavily
dependent on the surrounding conditions.
3.4. Autopause
Autopause pauses the recording of your exercise when your speed is less than 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.
If autopause is on during a recording, a pop-up notifies you when the recording is paused
automatically.
Tap the resume pop-up to check the current time and battery level.
You can let the recording resume automatically when you start moving again, or manually
resume from the pop-up screen by pressing the upper button.
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.
