killomoters to miles

[razza]

hello lads/girls, sorry to have to start a new thread, new to this site and needed some help, i have recently bought an Ambit and working my way around it, done so much with it already, but cant work out how to change it from kilometers to miles? also haven't got a clue what the display is showing me on the watch, its some sort of graph?

thanks.

Change it in Movescount:



or in the Ambit:

options>general>formats>unit system

or read the manual.

thanks for the reply! dont suppose you also know what the other graph is that is shown on the basic ambit display?

I suggest you follow my last suggestion.

It's either barometer or altimeter, depending on mode.

Because I'm curious I'm going to ask this question.
Did you get the Ambit second hand?
If not there should have been operating instructions inside the box it came in. If I remember correctly the manual was placed under the cardboard that held the watch.

If the manual was not included you can download it from the Suunto website. You should get it if you don't have it since it contains other information that I'm sure you will be able to use.

Regards

yes the watch was brand new, although it only came with a basic user manual, how to set it up etc, no in depth explanation as how to use the watch, thanks for the help anyway.

3km is approximately 2 miles

9.4 Using Barometer profile
The Barometer profile shows the current sea level air pressure. This is based
on the reference values added in the settings and the constantly measured
absolute air pressure. For information on setting the reference values, see
Section 9.2.2 Setting reference values on page 46.
Changes in the sea level air pressure are presented graphically in the middle
row of the display. The display shows the recording of the last 27 hours with
a recording interval of 1 hour.
When the Barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown on the
display. For information on setting the ALTI & BARO profile, see Section 9.2.1
Setting profiles on page 46.
When the Barometer profile is activated, Suunto Ambit shows you the following
barometric information:
● top row: the current sea level air pressure
● middle row: a graph displaying sea level pressure data from the past 27
hours (1h recording interval)
● bottom row: toggle between temperature, time and altitude reference
value with [View]
Altitude reference is the latest altitude used in ALTI & BARO mode. It can be:
● the altitude you have set as altitude reference in the Barometer profile, or
● the latest altitude logged in the Automatic profile before changing to the
Barometer profile.
NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Ambit on your wrist, you will need to
take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body
temperature will affect the initial reading.
9.5 Using Automatic profile
The Automatic profile switches between the Altimeter and Barometer profiles
according to your movements. When the Automatic profile is active, the device
will automatically switch between interpreting changes in air pressure as
changes in altitude or changes in weather.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time,
as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto Ambit senses
vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When
altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within
12 minutes), Suunto Ambit interprets all pressure changes as weather changes.
The measurement interval is 10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady
and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure
reading.
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within
3 minutes), Suunto Ambit interprets all pressure changes as movements in
altitude.
Depending on which profile is active, you can access the Altimeter or
Barometer profile views with [View].
NOTE: When you are using the Automatic profile, barometer or altimeter
icons are not shown on the display.

that user guide should help allot, thank you for the help.
