@Jamie-BG Yes I’m using android. Thanks for your suggestions, I will try the reset and see if the issue is resolved.

@cjp131 sorry to hear that, especially as I don’t have this issue. Apologies re lateness of reply - wasn’t sure my last text message was correct or not, so had to get someone to send me one. It all synced up fine.

@jamie-bg I disagree, the docs say that AGPS is updated weekly if relying on Bluetooth connection to Phone.

That would be fine for me, and I’d leave WiFi off continuously, I believe there’s a bug in WearOS that is stopping this weekly AGPS update from happening successfully.

I know exactly when I’m connected or not and more than happy with being disconnected when I go out.
LTE connected watch definitely would NOT work for me (not with todays battery and optimisation tech anyway!).

My requirements for AMOLED/AppleWatch levels of visibility & brightness and at least 50mm size plus some form of map that is better than just a breadcrumb trail, along with an ability to track a 6hr or so activity, along with being a vaguely smart watch with notifications and on watch payments compatible with my bank (ie - not Garmin Pay!) are my main criteria - and to work fully with an Android phone.

The S7 is the clear winner and almost a watch on its own segment in that regard…more than happy with it, but doesn’t stop me wanting a few improvements and efficiencies brought to the table.

I guess the answer in the meantime is to leave WiFi on automatic, see AGPS data effectively maintained, and remember to hit airplane when I head out with phone left behind.

@jamie-bg I would be glad if it would be this easy. Already tried different wall sockets, even in different apartments and houses. No difference.
I tried 5 different charger USB plug ins, even bought two new ones with 5V and 2 with 0,5A (like the suunto support told me to try) and still no difference. And my two different power bank won’t work at all. I really don’t know what to do and I’m starting to think I’m crazy. I love this watch, it works perfect for me but it makes me insane that I only able to charge it via laptop 😞

@tonyg42 do the figure 8 gesture .

Maybe Google were simply testing the reception of Wear 3.0 interface changes.

@kurko I wrote to Suunto numerous times pleading for a software update. I suggested some fitness and outdoor features. They are not listening 🙉

A real shame as the S7 can remain relevant in 2022 with incremental updates.

Suunto is struggling to to decide what to do with the S7, Finger crossed we get a surprise before the end of 2022!

It’s also there in the Android Wear OS app.

@isazi same here!
Battery - awesome!
Altitude - very questionable compared to the good accuracy when running

@isazi

System update – PXDZ.201119.005.A1
Staged release starting from January 11, 2021

This update brings new improvements to Suunto 7.

Navigation improvements:
• Route direction: Highlights the route ahead, helping you to anticipate the upcoming turns and know which direction to take
• Show custom waypoint names
• At waypoint notification

Enhancements and fixes:
• A bug that occasionally caused Suunto Wear app to crash during exercise has been fixed.

The following versions of Suunto components are included in the update:

Suunto Wear app – 2.42.6
Suunto Wear services – 2.32.4
Suunto Watch faces – 1.11.0
MDSP – 2.32.2

@mff73 I do not investigate the raw data and I am not interested in the scenario behind the app.

I want to see the correct altitude on the display of the Suunto 7 as I can see it on the SSU, on the S7 with Ghostracer or on the Casio G-Shock.

And this would be no problem with the option to calibrate the altitude manually.

That’s all. 👍

@jamie-bg
ill keep looking into the phone settings and see how i get on.
ive tried it multiple times today and i can only get the watch and phone to disconnect if the phone switches off.
the watch and phone then prompt for a passcode acceptance once turned back on.

also battery life has been much better last few days.
example: yesterday i had 40% left after a full day wearing + 1 hour exercise. today i have 70% left at 5pm.

This “AliExpress beafiry Store” looks like it has some good nylon, leather, carbon fibre, and stainless steel straps.
Nylon straps look very thin compared to the one displayed above.

@kees-w Since it was working, I seriously doubt it is the watch itself. Is the step counter working properly? If the accelerometer Is working then there is likely nothing wrong. Have you sent logs to support via the app?

@brad_olwin

Good to know.
Thanks!

@isazi Not only happen to me, from Reddit, but using Nike Run app.

“Ran both nike run app, suunto and played music via navmusic for 30 minute run. For some reason suunto app only recorded half of my exercise. Might try again tomorrow if it is giving issues if i run two apps at the same time… also seems there is no way to get data across both platforms, only strava possible.”

@isazi
ah, this must be it.
she navigated a track and had 1s gps refresh plus something more activated and said that the watch shut down shortly before the peak, hence she couldn’t track the descent…
crazy short battery life 😱
at least it was saved. we can adjust the rest if needed 👍

thanks mate!

@Justin-0 Not sure if there is a better way, but if you go into Play Store on the watch it allows you to search for WearOS and uninstall it. The watch then appears to default to the previous version of 2.46.0.365 vs the version of 2.59.0.471 my watch was previously showing.

And ANT+ support, please!

STRYD integration with showing Power AND Pace (A2 can, A3 cannot) and Stryd data in Suunto FIT file 😉

@aeroild said in Google Pay:

@Metalmi I just had to try the VPN workaround on my Suunto 7. So I installed Tunnelbear VPN on my phone and chose to connect to the Switzerland server. Turned off WiFi on watch and restarted it. Activated the Google Pay app on my watch, went through the required steps in Google Pay on my phone, which included confirming my Visa-card issued by a bank in Norway, where Google Pay for Android has launched but not for Wear OS. I went to the store and no problem paying with my Suunto 7 in a country where Google Pay for Wear OS has not launched! 🙂

Thanks for info! This is interesting, I will definitely have to try it again then.
