@nickk I picked up an open box excellent one on Amazon for $247. Gotta say I am really impressed. I have a Galaxy Watch 3 also but also wanted a Wear OS watch. I personally don’t see this being a $399 watch. Now Suunto has been doing more than anyone by far and it’s without a doubt a premium watch. Unfortunately the fossils of the world and lack of Google support have given the OS the bottom of the barrel impressions. All Suunto can do is keep doing exactly what they are doing with the support and features and keep supporting it for a couple more years to build a long term fanbase rather than forget about it when the next one comes out. They certainly have done well so far. It’s the only reason I even bought it.

@Egika said in Suunto 7 - Tips and tricks, apps and watch faces:

@pilleus yeah, but this is only possible with an Android phone. I have iPhones, so that stand-alone myradar would have been nice… 😔

I have an iPhone and MyRadar works perfectly

@jamie-bg I get 2 days per charge with mine. Can’t say I noticed much difference.

Nice feature, should be added to Suunto wear app too… 👍

@cedric13 There seems to be S7 quality assurance issues but maybe that’s bias because there is small sample size from amount sold. I wonder how many are out there with insanely bad altitude issues. Mine was doubling altitude out of the box and reset did nothing. If it wasn’t for the GPX files that I preloaded, knowing the elevation, I would have no idea mine was faulty. I think there should a survey going out and a recall in order.
It’s a great design that’s almost impossible to cover the baro hole so that’s not the issue.

I tried sideloading a alti/baro calibrator app from XDA and I can post the link if you are interested. It didn’t help my situation at all though. The app detects when there is unusual pressure on your baro which is cool.

A good way to troubleshoot it would be to do a peak hike (only up and down) then analyze it in Quantified Self. My specific problem was very wavy stats. So if i was walking up a hill every 2meter (for example) vertical I walked, it would go down 2m then go back up to 4m leaving me with 4m up (ascent) and 2m (descent) down while it was just 2m up in real life. It was accurate on my altitude points like (min, mid, max), I know this because i was at a ski resort and it had signs telling me what altitude i was at and it says it on the gpx file as well.

I just sent mine in a couple days ago. It was a very easy and smooth process which is free. It took 2 days to get to finland from a small town in france.
I’ll comment back on here what the solution is and when I get mine back. But this is the solution you should do. It’s a 400euro watch you should just get it looked at. But make sure to give them an insane amount of data (crossing my fingers that i explained it to them thoroughly enough)

@NickK
The best from my perspective would be GPS routes import and guidance (honestly I thought it is on the watch before buying, so little bit dissapointed), and would be good to have Sleep quality and stress level inbuild. And I would add more spaces for cards, and more cards options.

Got a response regarding reboots, let’s have discussion in one topic https://forum.suunto.com/post/66719

@jamie-bg erm… I use the one stroke that feels ok for me… Sorry, no technique expert here.

But you might be able to try it out in your room as well just simulating the different strokes.
Just make sure to simulate the turn at the wall as well 🙂

@seph-swain said in Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware:

@jorgefd78 +1 for autolap

+10000 for autolap

H RM2 arrived today on my Skagen Falster 3 and the limit of 5 tiles disappeared. Why does it exist on the S7? 🤔

@trinitao the question about the overlay can be answered by Suunto only.

I used the S7 for a few weeks without any Suunto apps and services (all disabled via ADB). I just used Ghostracer to record my rides.

In this time I recognised that the sync with Google Fit and the shown data are correct and nothing is missing.

From a Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 2020 I knew that there was an overlay too which can be disabled to speed up the watch.

So I let the salmon.overlay disabled after reenabling all Suunto stuff.

No problems and nothing is missing in the S7 functions up to the moment.

@themrdjj said in Bumpy and inaccurate altitude data with new Suunto 7:

@brad_olwin They are from a program called GPXSee. I first download the initial gpx file from Strava, then I apply the correction on strava.com and redownload the gpx file.

Hi,
I read again this post, and this last answer makes me feel that we never see your real Suunto data 🙂
only strave and GPXsee representation, with some gpx export.

Do you have a QS account ? or any other account where you can view the “real” data from Suunto fit file ?

or eventually share a suunto app link of an activity of yours with the issue, and experts may have a look at them.

Agreed! We need to see the original data.

@Bulkan - thanks will try it and see if things improve.

@EbertsR
You can have a nice bedtime reading today 😁

What I really hate is autolap in running mode after each km. When I look at the watch during the running usually there is summary of previous km. I have to wait about 5 sec to see real data. Realy annoying

@giulio i just got THE update

@Maryn - I use SyncMyTracks to sync across my strength training as the google fit version i am on is superb (not sure if on latest version for wear os, but suspect may not be as some people say a recent update has nerfed it - while others saying it hasn’t).

I bought myself a Oneplus 8T this week and I’m sad to say that the problem persists even on Android 11.
I really hope Suunto is working on the issue.

@Saketo-Nemo said in Aereo mode on S7:

@isazi

@Brad_Olwin
since you are a tester in the field, do you have any anticipation to give us, without breaking your NDA? 😊

I leave that to @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos as I enjoy being a tester and do not want to be “released”:). I can tell you that Suunto is working on improving the S7 experience but that is about all I am willing to say.

For a positive review, just touched down in Atlanta and weather/heat maps updated immediately!

@NickK yes 100% agree. I think it might be updates too…

I got my new textile strap and tried it today - no change at all same problem. I actually think it is picking up cadence as you suggest, not heart rate - I tried a few faster, slower paces including fast downhill where heart rate doesn’t go up… So is there a fix for this?

Having persisted with the Suunto 7 for over 6 weeks, I think I am calling it a day. Someday, when it actually works I might give it another twirl. For now, it is a flaky, amateurish attempt at a sports/smartwatch combo.
