    @kkalsi you will get no added benefit from using suunto app for weight lifting (other than battery life) as all it does is duration & HR. So try other options out there that do provide a HR belt. You may have to use a sync app to get the detail back into suunto app if it doesn’t autotmatically sync into GFit or Suunto.

    @jamie-bg i did see that post from Google (although after my other posts on here). I’m inclined to believe a bit of both of them, but also think that they are both covering their own backsides. Yes, it is likely that the 3100, 4100, and 4100+ can run WearOS 3. But will they run it well? If a watch runs it badly then it will damage the reputation of the OS and the hardware. In fact, WearOS 3 could be dead on arrival if too many devices run it badly. Obviously Google wants as many devices as possible to run it, but they want, no, they NEED it to run perfectly. This is likely their last chance to take on the Apple Watch and if all of the initial reviews are that it runs like a dog then it’s game over. Consumers won’t take into consideration that the hardware is old, they will see the headlines that WearOS 3 is slow and that will be it. Qualcomm however, don’t care two hoots about WearOS (i think that have become obvious over the years). All they care about it selling chips, saving reputation, and saying they are market leaders. So if their older chips are no longer supported then it hurts them as a company. Qualcomm would put WearOS 3 on every chip they ever made if they thought it would benefit them, but sod the customer, as long as it makes them money. Google want (and again, NEED) WearOS to run perfectly, so they should be pushing for it on only the absolute best hardware. As good as the 3100 is and as good a job Suunto have done with it (which they really have!), it is old, slow and power hungry. There is no point having the amazing Suunto App if the OS underneath it is running slow due to the hardware. IF (and it’s a big if) the 3100 can run WearOS 3 well then I would expect Suunto to support the S7 for quite a while yet. However, if it runs with even the slightest lag then Suunto need to keep the S7 on WearOS 2 and get a new model out ASAP. As I mentioned before, the average consumer already considers the TWP3 better than the S7 purely based on it having the 4100 (despite there being no notable improvement in having that chip). The S7 is already over 18 months old, so is long in the tooth in the tech world. I personally think a 2 year cycle for something like this is perfect, as it allows each iteration to have noticeable improvements and ensures support from manufacturer. However if Suunto are too late to the WearOS 3 party then they could lose out on sales. A newer S7 (whatever it may be called) with Samsung silicone, better battery life, reduced bezel, lighter, slimmer, etc with still the Suunto smarts inside (and with continued updates) could be the WearOS device to beat and with proper advertising (and a sensible price unlike the S7 at launch!) could take a serious chunk of the market. Just my thoughts for this wet and soggy British morning

    @saq10is - remove your profile form the GFit app, as you don’t get any benefit from using it (unless there is a specific reason you want it…) Since Sept 20 update to GFit where they changed how the sync works - data is often delayed and or never populates the GFit app, plus with recent API changes some data like HR will not now sync. GFit also now seems to recalculate steps and calories. So unless you have some specific need of GFit that the suunto app doesn’t already cover, would suggest removing profile to solve any GFit issues by not using it. PS - daily details missing on Suunto app - assume that you could see those details on your watches today widget i.e. it is actually recording steps?

    @egika very good point - should have added that. And completely agree with you that certain activities shouldn’t generate steps. @Marco-G --> I think you will find that what Egika has said is correct, and that is the way it should be. You might find that any indoor activity doesn’t include steps, as would only be able to count them via movement sensors, which is unlikely to be accurate, however if outdoors, then yes activities like that may count steps. But yes agree water sports, cycling i.e. activities where you aren’t actually making steps shouldn’t count towards steps. ps - Garmin does the same - missed my step target on days I went cycling and swiming as neither days kms counted towards steps (and correctly so).

    @mjposner To remove - should be able to via the play store, and or go into settings, apps & notifications - app list. Press on app and scroll down to uninstall option. If not in app list then try system apps. Note you don’t need facebook messenger app to receive facebook messages on your watch (app is more around sticker use). Go into your phone’s wear os app, notifications and check and make sure that facebook messenger is set to allow notifications. If this is set and your receive notifications on your phone, they should now be mirrored on your watch (assuming you are connected to your phone). To make sure that your watch doesn’t drop bluetooth connection, make sure that the phones wear os app isn’t being optimized (refer to the sticky threads). If all of the above is done, and still no joy, then try restarting phone and watch. If done that and still no joy then you may need to start from scratch and reset your watch.

    @egika Yup I think you’re right… I think it was a setting on my Coros that I was remembering! Touch could be disabled during activity (but would activate if switching to the breadcrumb screen).

    @guy85 said in Connexion Bluetooth impossible ?: J’aimerais bien créer un cadrans à mon idée, mais… Comment créer des cadrans de montre, il faut être informaticien ? Load an install Puji/Watchmaker/Facer and then do it from there. Or you can go onto the Facer website and create the watchface there. Only issue is I don’t believe these are the most economical watch faces from battery life perspective. For that you need to use the android sda webkit (not sure how easy it is using this kit). Fortunately Android provide some rather detailed (looks it but may not be as haven’t tried to use them): https://developer.android.com/codelabs/watchface#0

    @egika yes that’s true - the Suunto App wins hands down . I would only love to see some of the Training features I have on the S5 or the S9, like training in certain HR or pace zones with alarms or distance / time goals (and I miss some data fields). I also miss the ability to add POIS while outdoors, but hopefully Suunto will add this. What really excites me is the OHR sensor which seems to be way better than the one on the S5! I thought that not being able to pair a HR strap would be the biggest drawback, but the OHR sensor works great for me!

    @loryland said in What the meaning of Ascent & Descent data?: @sartoric If I`m the only user which have this problem, so my watch is working bad. Maybe the majority of Suunto clients don’t care about this data issue. So Suunto is a good brand and Suunto Software is the best. Well maybe your watch is defective, who knows. Please contact support so they can help you. I’m closing this discussion as there are several other threads about similar baro issues (and suggestions)

    @egika not suprised with GFit doing that, which is why I removed my profile from GFit on the watch, as it seems to be populating step and calorie detail on actions and activity, and by removing your profile/account from GFit on the watch it stops that (and the phantom goal acheive notifications). Can still see all your suunto data in the GFit app on the phone, if you really want to, but not much point as the suunto app exceeds the GFit app in virtually every way.

    @brad_olwin - that is what the ambient screen is for. Plus could give flexibility in ambient screen i.e. whether shows complications, whether in colour or not etc, whether second hand active or not etc. etc. etc. While I do love the suunto watch faces, they could be so much better with ability to customize i.e. change colours etc, shape/size of hands, hour markers etc.

    @harboe sorry - should have qualified that it is open to everyone with a 3100/4100+ chip. Initially I thought it was something that suunto had incorporated into the watch in the system update - however as Moto can also do it, it must be wear os integrated. Its just a pity that no one else is using it, including watch face makers.
