Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware
-
@Jamie-BG I agree, a waypoint notification would wake up the main processor. Similar to when the Suunto 7 displays autolap info, then the watch uses the main processor. Displaying just the breadcrumb trail and the route will hopefully just require the coprocessor and not use anymore battery than the always-on sport display.
-
I would really like to see date in the basic black watch-face which appears with power saver tilt ON, or some kind of possibility to choose what is displayed in those two small circles (battery should be just fine in the upper part of display maybe ?)
-
@Zab_55 loads of watch faces allow this. Go in and adjust features of watch face.
Long press watch face, then press blue cog (if no blue cog available watch face canāt be adjusted). Settings will come up. Add/adjust complications to choose how many/what comes up. Adjust ambient screen (if available) - minimal normally means no complications, with full having dimmed complications in ambient mode.
-
Suunto tracking app on the watch weight training needs a major uplift as all it does is time and HR. Come on suunto, how about making something like what Google fit provides: automatic exercise detection picking up curls, sit ups, press Up etc with ability to change activity (if it gets it wrong), auto counting of reps and sets (with option to adjust rep count), ability to add weight lifting for each set, an adjustable rest timer with option to skip, ability to also manually enter a session, duration and HR monitoring in background with calorie used, epoc, PTE and recovery.

@Jamie-BG oh Gosh, how blind I am. I was wondering if I should write it here, because it must be somewhere in settings but I didnāt see it Thank you !

Hello:
As far as Iāve seen:
-To use bluetooth sensors (like BikePod, Garmin BSCM Gen3. Wahoo HRā¦) -
@Fly-Riviera Adding: Heart Rate visual at Default Sphere. (damm, that does even an Amazfit Bip Lite, less than 50$!!!)

Heart Rate visual at Default Sphere
Sorry - you have really lost me? What does heart rate visual at default sphere mean - care to explain?
I know that the S7 does active HR zones on main tracking screen. You can also use the HR tile to take a HR reading at any time / and or go into google fit to get a reading at any time. You can also set Google fit to take 24/7HR reading which can then be viewed in tile or google fit.

@Jamie-BG please, let me check! Itās our new sportwatch! Is there a livetrack / emergency feature at Suunto 7/app?
-
I would like to see the watch being able to connect to turbo trainers. Or an app to connect to them.
-
I would like to see the ability to chose and add apps to the watch through the Google play store on the phone rather than on the watch. This will save battery life on the watch.
-
@meyton89 this would be a step back to Android Wear 1.0 and has nothing to do with Suunto.
Meanwhile WearOS apps cannot be installed on the phone. The only way is to install these apps via the PlayStore on the watch.
And usually this will happen at home with a wireless connection and the possibility to use the charger.
-
@Fly-Riviera no and the ones on the play store are very manual too
-
okā¦i was waiting for an update witch will add more languages as Suunto Greece had posted few weeks beforeā¦and today i read a new post from Suunto Greece,the update will come on 15/12/2020 and that the update is only for 3 , 5, 9ā¦very nice Suuntoā¦cant understand why our new watch left behindā¦
-
@Xiaiomi-Killmister hi. I am also greek here.
The language is part of Google operating system. Itās not a suunto only feature. Since the wearos is not supporting greek this is logical.
While we all would like to use our mother language, still this is not a reason to have this attitude , especially when your written skills in english are so good.
There will be updates for your watch nevertheless, just not the language yet.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I know that your from Greece but what do you mean āstill this is not a reason to have this attitudeāā¦i didnāt know it was a Google thingā¦i just remember this statement āĪ£ĻĪ½ĻĪæĪ¼Ī± ĻĪæ ĪĪ»Ī»Ī·Ī½Ī¹ĪŗĻ Ī¼ĪµĪ½ĪæĻ ĻĻĪ± SUUNTO!!! #suuntogreece #shopandtradeā on 6/11 and i thought at last we can see a Greek menu on our watchā¦i understand that thereās no solution all is to Google and because the watch is not covering me(not only language thing) i have to go to another watch that supports VO2max better battery and my language. -

The above I took it as sarcastic intention to undermine the effort to bring the Greek language to suunto watches that I also have worked on.
I might have been wrong. My excuses.
Good luck with your next watch and have a great weekend.

Sorry but, why you bought the watch knowing all this already?

@isazi
It was my first smartwatchā¦it was new (i bought it almost a month after it came out) it was cheap and looked niceā¦i had to choose between Suunto and Garminā¦as a new watch i thought it will have all the āgoodiesā that i had in my simply Honor bandā¦i didnāt have any idea that some things was missing,i new about the language but as a new watch i thought that one day Suunto would support itā¦now that i know that its a"Google thing" with the little support of Wear Os,noā¦i have nothing to wait .so my answer to you is that i didnāt āknow all this alreadyā
Great weekend to you Dimitrios Kanellopoulos. -
@Xiaiomi-Killmister well Iām sorry then. Iām sure youāll avoid doing the mistake of buying the wrong device for you again.
