Suunto Spartan user here, don't work for Suunto. I've not had any issues missing laps (Garmin was really bad at this, or would add extra laps), but I do have some suggestions for JanneK which would really help with better tracking.
The pool I swim in is a scm pool, but I track my pacing and results (after the activities) by yards. When swimming, I see my distance and intervals in yards, rather than in meters. And, if I switch this to see an even 25-50-75-100 meters, I have to switch ALL my units in ALL sport modes to metric. Meaning when I run, instead of seeing time/mile, I see time/km, which is all but useless to this math-challenged American.
Here's my proposed solution: When I select a 25 meter pool prior to "Starting" the activity, just show me distances in meters in the workout. I don't want to see 328 yds after I swam 300 meters. I want to see 300 meters.
The other complaint I have is that even though the bike speed/cadence sensor comes with a rubber band to attach to the chainstay, it's comically small if you intend to use it on a modern tri bike. It has "XS" stamped in the rubber, but the service team tells me this is not a size indicator and that no larger version is available. A larger rubber band for tri/TT bikes would be extremely helpful, given that our chainstays are considerably larger than a road/mtb. Then again, maybe someone can point me to something on Amazon?
