@brad_olwin Good to know. Thanks!

@marcel4suunto I think this is a general problem with all optical heart rate sensors worn on the wrist: any exercise that involves flexing your hand muscles, from rowing to weights, will constrict blood flow and throw off sensor. Occasionally you might get lucky with rowing, especially if the watch sits higher and well away from wrist bone, but generally if what you do involves flexing hands, the sensor shouldn’t be on your wrist.

@gilbert-khayat there is a nice one in „lifesum“ (Google Play Store) which runs on the S7. It’s mainly a diet tracker program and quite expensive but perhaps it’s what you’re looking for!?

@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?

@nigel-taylor-0 only thing I want from the routes feature of the app is to say “make me a 10km (ish) circular route starting at the following position.” . Now that would be sweet when in unfamiliar places.

@brad_olwin 3rd party apps would have the same problem unless they export in the exact format that Suunto app is expecting - i.e. most likely won’t work and I don’t want to install 50 apps trying to figure out which one does work (plus the battery drain would probably be significantly more). Garmin exports to gpx with I can see power in both Strava and the Garmin app and Quantified Self but to get the file into Suunto I have to convert to a .fit file (QS requires to upload to SA) and it gets screwed up. I can export out of Strava as a .fit file however no power. I am guessing golden cheetah would work but that is a lot of effort for something that should be relativity simple. Now if Suunto would just add sensor support that would solve everything - wouldn’t it?

Issue seems resolved after deleting Spotify from my Note 20, then removing the sync to the watch, reinstalling Spotify on the phone and syncing back to the Suunto 7. Beginning to love the watch now.

@nigel-taylor-0 non baro watches draw altitude data from GPS and not from SA (sadly as small hills barely get recognized). You might be referring to s3 which completely relies on phone’s GPS. But I’m not sure whether s3 gets altitude data at all? I think altitude corrections might come eventually as there were a lot of requests. We just have to wait!

@isazi @Дима-Мельниченко @Nigel-Taylor-0 @suzzlo Thank you very much!!! Sheet already created to test it

As of exactly midnight last night (software bug? ) - continuous HR stopped being logged, no sleep was tracked, with just a message in the tile this morning saying, “Something has gone, you might have to restart” (or similar). Restarted Watch and all ok, but it does feel like there are more instabilities now than previously - are Google pushing out changes behind the scenes that are not bullet proof perhaps?

@olymay Something to entertain us while we wait/hope for the next update from Suunto

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos cool, cheers. I’ll keep an eye on it as the day progresses. It hasn’t adapted as yet (roughly three hours later). It might get a bit confused soon though, as I’m about to watch more rugby (Eng vs USA) which will involve a couple of beers. After that I will be watching the F1. So I will be going from very excitable to probably snoozing on the sofa!

In Aliexpress you can find TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) covers which fit very well the watch case as protection for any kind of sport/use, even barely bothers your eye when wearing it. Also you will find tempered protective film in case so. Both my partner and I are having them for our S9 and S7. Hoping this helps, here is a bit: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002719324598.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4dfd124fUci6Xb&algo_pvid=1a5efcf4-b58f-4534-b74b-caa232957ca9&algo_exp_id=1a5efcf4-b58f-4534-b74b-caa232957ca9-0 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001427427774.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4dfd124fUci6Xb&algo_pvid=1a5efcf4-b58f-4534-b74b-caa232957ca9&algo_exp_id=1a5efcf4-b58f-4534-b74b-caa232957ca9-1

@jantikainen looking around the web yesterday, I don’t think Google actually ever said it would. I’ve seen articles state it, but never seems to be part of an actual statement from Google, so not sure where may/june timeline came from.

Thanks @Nigel-Taylor-0. I’ll set the middle button to bring up the alarm app and try that tomorrow. Thanks!!

@jamie-bg I’m a bit confused… In the Google Fit app I see in the settings for “connected apps and devices” (I hope I translated correctly from German) “Suunto” and my health insurance. But I don’t know if “Suunto” is the Suunto app on the phone or the watch. But the funny thing is: On the S7 I see the steps from Suunto to be 1984 at the moment. Google Fit on the watch says 1984 as well. The Google Fit app on the phone says 1839 steps. And the health insurance app says 1984 again… So this is confusing for me. I thought the health insurance app connects to Google Fit somewhere on a Google server. But what does the Google Fit app on the phone do? Edit: Playing around with the Google Fit app on my phone (basically opening and closing several times) caused the app to show 1984 steps as well now. So it seems the Google Fit app is slower syncing to its own server than my health insurance app… Over the weekend I will test to remove the Google Fit account on the watch and see if the sync from Suunto app to Google Fit both on the phone works

I created this topic before the release of the last firmware. Now, I feel more useful have available the “Progress” tile (and complication) on the S7. Today I edited to add this. Better if we can have both and we could choose

@jamie-bg On iOS app the data represented is OK. There are two sleeps in one day.
