Available are HR (after connecting an external HR sensor), speed, inclination, pace measurements. The Movescout app can be also used for more detailed overview of our tracks, combined with maps and a wide range of the useful graphs. Of course Suunto Traverse Alpha features also the stan- dard functions, such as "Stopper" or "Timer" (minimum time which can be set is 60 second, what sometimes can be too long). Moreover, the watch, in its daily mode, counts steps and records them on the graphs and in the activity log in the app. Hunting It is a flagship function of this watch – shot detection. After selection of this mode, the watch tracks our way and registers locations of shots fired during the walk. It can be useful for tracking game or as a log for hunter. I need to say it loud to the shooters community - this mode is not an equivalent of a shooting timer: if you start to shot quickly, the watch will not register all shots. During the hunting, a storm alert and a sunrise/sunset alert could be useful too, especially when your local laws allow only to hunt only one hour after sunset as it is in Poland. Barometer and altimeter Suunto Traverse Alpha continuously measures abso- lute air pressure using the built-in pressure sensor. Based on this measurement and reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air pressure. It automat- ically switches between an altimeter and a barometer. When change of altitude is detected, watch activates an altimeter, and when pressure changes – a barom- eter. www.fragoutmag.com
