@pierre-lellig 10% in 30’ is a lot.
You can see on my previous captures.
2% drainned in 23’ fully connected, with all features actives and using the S7 during this time in the morning with the display ON.

@martin-vrska It’s automatic, the images started to display and change during the day.

@pilleus Sorry, my bad, I not note about Factory Reset.

@steff All you need to do is connect Komoot with the Suunto App, plan a route in Komoot. In SA under routes the Komoot route will appear and you can then toggle the route to load into the watch. That is it. Just saw your other issue on iOS. If you have no routes in SA, just draw a placeholder route, that should make it work. You need to be on the latest beta SA app as well.

[Steff]

@brad_olwin Do I need a premium Komoot account?
Maybe here is the problem.

I have the free Komoot account with 2 free regions unlocked and the route is in one of them.

I double checked now and the Komoot route does not appear in Suunto app, Routes tab.

@pilleus what you can check: in gestue settings, there are two switches.

1. tilt to wake
2. tilt to ambient mode

if the first switch is on, the second is deactivated.
While it is deacivated, maybe it is still on?
Then try to switch off 1. , then switch off 2. and switch 1. back on.

See if it has an effect?

Been there, done that. No effect. I tried all combinations before resetting the watch and afterwards too.

[Steff]

@steff I made a few other routes in Komoot and suddenly they started to appear in Suunto app.

The first created routes still do not appear in Suunto app but new routes do, so the problem it’s fixed.

Yesterday near sunset I got another picture now. Dimmed with the sun near the sunset point. The first time after four days. May be it was the first sunset this week …

Just to be sure. This and the same dimmed screen at sunrise are the only changes to the background? Over the day there is only the blue sky in the upper half and the black area in the bottom half? No changes for rainy days?

according to my experience the pictures itself changes between sunrise (sun on the left - at least in northern hemisphere), day, sunset (sun on the right) and night.

What also changes is the angle and height of the sun based on your latitude and day of year. It’s really gimmicky

[ianharding]

@flypg Brilliant! The solstice background was black at least 50% of the time. Changed developer options to enable animations and now it’s in colour every time

[Martin Vrska]

@ianharding Where do I change developer options, please?

[Egika]

@ianharding that is strange, as those animations should be enabled by default and from the factory.

They are animated by default. Only if you enable developer options and change all the animation settings to “0” or “off”, there is no coloured background and the Solstice watchface remains black.

“1x” is the standard option.

[Egika]

@pilleus that means there must be another reason for your Solstice not working…

I think it is working now as expected, because yesterday in the evening I got a dimmed background image with a sun near the point of sunset. If the watch face does not show different images than the bright one all over the day and the dimmed one on sunrise and sunset and a black one at night, all should be okay.

[Jamie BG]

My resources are down to 3%.
My body is taking a pummeling today - HR is running on average 20/30bpm higher than normal. Think it must be due to the Covid vaccination I had yesterday evening - This higher HR kicked in while I was sleeping last night.
Arm has a slight dull ache, and feel slightly wooly (a bit like when you realize that if you have another drink you may just be drunk - coordination and everything is still there, but you just know you are borderline as you can feel it starting to influence you).

[olymay]

@pilleus That’s great news! So it was the animation setting in developer settings that caused it not to work?

And yes, the Solstice face shows sunrise, daylight, and sunset. It does not change with the weather.
This would be a really nice feature, but is one I am sure would have a detrimental effect on battery. Maybe in a future watch (hint hint Suunto )

Nomad watch face can do this with little battery usage. For me the best outdoor watch face, because I have sunrise, sunset, rain forecast in the outer circle, lowest, highest and actual temperature and all the events of the current day (here dusk and dawn as blue stripes). The yellow and blue colour is much more intensiv on the watch. And on the second screen there is a weather forecast for the next seven days and beneath time three custom complications.

[Brad_Olwin]

@pilleus I like this watch face but for me I was getting substantial battery drain, much more than the power save Suunto watch faces. I think this is likely due to tilt to wake being on for Nomad face as opposed to power save tilt for the Suunto watch faces.

[olymay]

@pilleus @Brad_Olwin

There is a lot to be said for the power saver tilt, and I mean a LOT.

I use it all the time and I think it is comparable in battery usage to the LCD screen that TicWatch devices use, although much, much prettier.

I do like the functionality of that Nomad watch face, but from the screenshots you show it doesn’t have the data I want (although I do appreciate it is likely customisable and also there isn’t going to be a watchface that works for everyone ) as I want steps (to encourage me to do more), watch battery, and day with date.

I also think that the Solstice face is not only nicer looking than Nomad, it is one of the nicest looking watch faces around!

[pilleus]

No problem, guys. I use the Nomad watch face with AOD and the battery usage is not really important for me. And it’s great in WearOS that every user can find and use the watch face which has all desired features.

Have fun with your S7 and your preferred watch face!

Just a question, I cant seem to figure out, am I supposed to be able to see pulse statistics in the suunto app. I can see sleep, calories, steps and sort by day, week etc. But not pulse?
