Structured workout screen limitation. Skip/Restart lap. Increase/Decrease ERG power
This has been asked several times in the past (here and here) but the posts were masked as "answered" incorrectly so I'm initiating a new thread.
When you add a structured workout, depending of whether you are connected to a Smart Trainer or not the workout interface changes. This is not documented in Hammerhead's support guide and I can presume it is creating a lot of confusion (article 1, article 2; both seem outdated and incomplete). Moreover, it heavily limits the functionality of what you can do with the Karoo.
- If a Smart Trainer is connected, ERG mode automatically kicks in and there's no way to disable it (confirmed here). The Workout interface displays the + and - buttons to increase or decrease Watts. This is always the case, regardless if the workout has been paused.
- if a Smart Trainer is not connected, the interface displays the "previous" and "next" icons to control the interval laps (restart, skip, etc).
It is a shame that this is an interface limitation and you can't have both. I would like to always have the capability to control the interval laps and additionally if a Smart Trainer is connected to also manage the Watts output (+- is perfectly fine and easy to manage, no need to specify a specific Wattage).
