S7 roadmap: what are Suunto plans here?

@Frixos-Demetriades Suunto can put Garmin miles behind if they want to… They just don’t do it because they are shareholders and don’t want them to go bad

Hi,
Anyone knows about if/when we will see route import on s7?
News?

Is there any way to track sleep with a S7 - Iphone combo? I feel tricked as Suunto gives the impression Wear OS is the answer to all your needs, including sleep tracking. Also, Google Fit is incredibly shallow compared to the competition. At this price point Suunto needs to step up and at least integrate sleep from the S7 in the Suunto app. And last but not least, a 15 minute HR measuring intervall is just silly. Not satisfied.

Hello,

I feel obliged to post in a forum and ask for help as I’m a bit lost in the product offering of the sport-watch market.

What I want seems pretty basic and I’m a bit surprised no product seems to hit exactly my prerequisites.

I want to

1/ Track my runs and sometimes predefine routes on a larger screen before starting my workouts via any app that could sync to Strava (as I’ve used it historically)

2/ Have real-time map cues on where I am (guidance would be a plus, to make sure I follow my itinerary)

3/ Listen to tunes via bluetooth headphones coming from Spotify. A simple batch of downloaded tunes would do.

4/ All of the above without taking my phone with me. What’s the point of buying a watch otherwise?

The Suunto 7 looks ideal for what I’m after except the real-time map guidance & the Spotify offline sync, which only Garmin & Samsung seems to support.

Is there planned in one way or another that Suunto adds support for Spotify offline sync? I am aware that it’s a Spotify SDK limitation and since 2018, I am surprised nothing has moved in that area.

Thanks all!

In wearOs you have apps for that. Right now is not possible in the native app but you can run 2 apps at the time.

2/ Have real-time map cues on where I am (guidance would be a plus, to make sure I follow my itinerary)

Realmaps are in the Suunto 7 only.

3/ Listen to tunes via bluetooth headphones coming from Spotify. A simple batch of downloaded tunes would do.

Not in the Suunto Ecosystem.

it depends, what sports you do… I don’t find useful in endurance sports and smartwatch with music and a bunch of things draining my battery. I prefer take my phone with me always, safety first.

Yep, Suunto, Samsung and Applewatch LTE.

I don´t know.

Thanks all!
