comparative review Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR and Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR - COMPARISON

Awsome video.i have a question sir.does the sport work.for spearfishing?

Hey Eric. Thanks for another excellent video. I'd like to get a watch for swimming pool laps. I don't want to wear a belt but I like seeing an HR rate along with times. Is there a watch you might recommend for me? Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

How do you set heart rate Zone? Also would it alarm when you cross over one zone?

good review video. Thx

Hi... Nice review
Does someone could say something more about the backlight? I have a Garmin 235 and it has a poor backligh and the numbers and letters are pretty small, especially for those who wear glasses and choose 3 or more information fields.

Which one do you prefer? I am a long runner

if i get the Sport for the Price of the Trainer, should i rather take it or still the Trainer for ist practical size?

Hi, i bought Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR in an eShop. I had send it back. Why did i send it back? Because the meassurments i need, were incorrect.

An example: indoor rowing on concept2 pm5.
I was rowing for 5 km and 21 minutes. I was using the concept2 pm5 display and Suunto Spartan sport wrist hr at the same time. Measurements:
Concept2: distance 5 km, speed 14,8 km/h
Suunto: distance 1,77 km, speed 4,9 km/h ???!!!!

I wanted a nice and durable smartwatch, that can handle sports like indoor and outdoor cycling and indoor rowing. Sadly, Suunto Spartan sport wrist hr is not that one, because the measurements are terrible.

Sad, cause I really liked the design of the watch.😞

Hi Eric! Great review! Do you know if the trainer calculates your V02max? Thanks

Great review. Sadly I experienced that my HR sensor stalled after 4 km's of running. After that it would not start anymore. Very strange... 2 days after I used the watch during crossfit training. There it performed well. I will keep in mind the next time when I will do a cardio training to tighten up the watch better. I have a question though... where on your wrist should you tighten the watch? Close to the wrist bone or slightly under it?

I kind of like the Trainer, more addecuate to my budget but still a bit concerned about the mobile app, I wish they could improve it to be at the same level like Garmin.

Thanks for the video - one thing, though, you are saying both matches have GLONASS but according to suunto, the Trainer uses only GPS. Who is wrong?

Do you think you can do a comparison of the VA3 vs the Spartan Trainer. My friend lent me her Spartan Sport HR and really like the navigation features of it more than the VA3(native breadcrumbs and better poi features). However, I feel like the VA3 is better at the gym. Has that been your experience?

what about swiiming, both pool and open water? as well as triathlon? does it has the transitions included?

Hi, I've tried the Spartan Wrist HR and have to say that the HR measurement is scrap. My usual max. HR is 167. But this watch shows up to 205 bpm for the first 2 kms when I'm running . After that it seems to catch up. But it actually doesn't it shows just "something". I have a Fenix 3 as well and did someone cross checking by pairing a hr strap to either device and compared the results. So I sent the watch to Suunto for repair. After 2 weeks the watch came back together with a written Statement that they werde not able to find any failure. The interesting thing was that the values were slightly different e.g. 180 bpm at the start of a run instead of 205 But still scrap.

does the blue one have backlight bleeding?

Do you recomend the Trainer over the Garmin forerunner 235? they are aout same price..
thank you for your videos!

There's going to be Sleep Tracking for Sporta Wrist HR too with October update together with new faces (at lease one is going to show sunrise and sunset time)

Eric , enjoyed the video. Is the Fenix 5X still your top choice for running and activity tracking?

Nice video. There is coming updates to Sport wrist hr and there are more features. Example That sleeping monitor is coming and very much more nice features. I think this would be good to say your video.
