原文： I wish I could give this watch 4.5 stars. It's very good.
I had the Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire for almost 2 years. That was a fine watch--sturdy, consistent, tough. But I hated the menus and the sluggishness. The GPS took forever to work, sometimes making me wait up to 5-8 minutes just t
o connect to a satellite. To Garmin's credit, they kept pushing updates every month or so--although not adding any new features that I noticed.
I've wanted a Suunto watch for a while, and when the Spartan Sport was available with HR monitor built in, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. This watch is noticeably lighter than the Fenix. I can't say it feels as sturdy as the Fenix, though. Nevertheless, the Spartan appears to be well built.
The GPS function is significantly quicker than with the Fenix. The Spartan will connect to a satellite within 30 seconds typically. The tracking seems consistent, although with a deviation from the Fenix. Running the same trial I always do, I know the distance I travel in a given stretch. I know what my Fenix said a stretch was, and the Spartan has a slight deviation. However, it's nothing that would alarm me. The difference is not more than 20 yards, as far as I can tell.
The Spartan's menus aren't better than the Fenix's. The touch screen isn't great. It works, but clearly Suunto wasn't trying to create a true smart watch. The software is a little sluggish, too. It takes much too long to update my workouts through my phone. My Fenix would update the workouts within a minute of connection to my phone. This is not a problem with the Spartan's hardware. It's simply the clunky and problematic phone and watch operating systems. Suunto needs to make the process a lot faster.
Suunto will require you to open a Movescount account. It's essentially a website where you can view your synced workouts, have access to the Suunto community, can create and subscribe to workout plans. It's a good feature. It's particularly nice to pick someone else's workout plan and see if you can do it. Some are very tough, while others are beginner level. They appear to have plans for a plethora of supported sports.
Once you subscribe to a workout plan, you'll have to sync your watch. The real problem is that you can't start a planned exercise through the schedule screen. In fact, after consulting with Suunto, there's no way to just start the planned workout. You have to go through the exercise menus, select a workout, and then go.
For example, if today I have a 4 mile run at 1hr period scheduled, I can see that on my watch. I can even see the next few days' workouts. But I can't simply hit the "Start" button and begin my 4 mile run. Instead, I'll have to navigate to the general exercise menu, scroll through the exercises, and then select Running. The watch will NOT track me specifically for the scheduled plan. You can still set parameters manually before you start the run, but that's just extra steps you have to take.
Frankly, that is the biggest drawback to the watch. It's--once again--a software problem.
Suunto simply needs to refine their applications. If they make things faster and implement some new needed features, I would give the watch 5 stars. Regardless, it's definitely a worthy purchase.

译文： 我希望我能给这个手表4.5颗星。它很好的。
我用了Garmin Fenix 3蓝宝石将近2年了。这是一个很好的手表 - 很坚固，风格统一，耐用。但我讨厌菜单以及太低迷的设计。全球定位系统需要一直不停的工作，有时候会让我等上5-8分钟才能上连接卫星。对于Garmin的功劳，他们每个月都在不断推陈出新 - 虽然没有增加任何可以我注意的新功能。
我想要一个Suunto的手表很长时间了，当Spartan Sport配备内置HR显示器的时候，我试了一下。我很高兴我终于买到了。这款手表明显比Fenix轻。虽然我也不能说它和Fenix一样坚固。但是尽管如此，斯巴达似乎已经也是制作精良的。
GPS速度比Fenix快得多。 Spartan通常会在30秒内连接到卫星。追踪似乎一致，虽然与Fenix比起来有偏差。运行同样的试验的时候，我总是会比较一下，我可以知道我在一个给定的范围内旅行的距离。我知道我的菲尼克斯说了什么，而斯巴达人略有偏差。但是，并没有什么让我感到震惊的。就我所知，差距不会超过20码。
斯巴达的菜单设计并不比Fenix的菜单设计好。触摸屏反应也不是很好。它很有用，但很显然，Suunto并没有试图创造出真正的智能手表。这个软件也有点低迷。通过手机更新也需要很长的时间。我的Fenix会在与我的手机连接一分钟之内更新的。这对Spartan的硬件来说不是问题。只是比起笨重的和有问题的手机和手表操作系统。 Suunto需要使这个过程快得多。
Suunto要求您打开Movescount帐户。这本质上是一个网站，您可以查看您的同步数据，有权访问Suunto社区，可以创建和订阅锻炼计划。这是一个很好的功能。选择别人的锻炼计划，看看你是否可以做到这一点更好。有些是非常困难的，而另一些则是初学者水平。他们似乎可以支持过量的运动。
一旦你订阅一个锻炼计划，你将不得不同步你的手表数据。真正的问题是，你无法通过计划屏幕开始计划练习。事实上，在咨询Suunto之后，并没有办法开始计划的锻炼。你必须通过菜单选项，选择锻炼，然后开始。
例如，如果今天我在1小时的时间里跑4英里，我可以看到我的表。我甚至可以看到未来几天的训练。但是我不能简单地点击“开始”按钮，开始跑4英里。相反，我将不得不导航到一般的锻炼菜单，滚动练习，然后选择运行。手表不会跟踪我的计划。您仍然可以在开始运行之前手动设置参数，但这只是您必须执行的额外步骤。
坦率地说，这是手表的最大缺点。这又是一个软件问题。
Suunto只需简化应用程序。如果他们加快速度并实施一些新的需要的功能的话，我会给手表5颗星。无论如何，这绝对是一个值得购买的东西。
