@Brad_Olwin I know that feeling thank you so much for the information!

Please try: Turn on the sun in the sky! ️

@Brad_Olwin Did you run any incline on a treadmill?

So, in absolute terms… We are talking 84 m difference on 1km run vs Stryd (8%) and 31 m difference vs treadmill (less than 3%). I’d imagine the truth would be somewhere in the middle, and it warms my heart to see that middle is where S7 roughly sits

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Excited to see where the Suunto Plus thing goes in the future with more apps!

Saketo Nemo

not in the direction of suunto 7.
I would keep the speeches separate:

Suunto plus will only run on the suunto proprietary operating system
wear OS apps only on Suunto 7 (or future wear OS watches)

isazi

@Saketo-Nemo sure, I also agree the two things should be separate, but S+ has been mentioned more than once here, therefore @Storz comments.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Saketo-Nemo lets see and hope that S7 gets Suunto Plus. Why not ?

Frederick Rochette

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes but we need more in SuuntoPlus…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Frederick-Rochette for sure

I think this will help Suunto. They have been losing the market share because others have pay from the wrist, music on your watch, and other smartwatch features. Unless you to an activity longer than a marathon or 100 mile bike ride you have more than enough battery life. Most don’t wear their watches to bed so just put it on the charger like you do your phone every night. I preordered mine and I am excited that Suunto finally added the extra features. I was actually disappointed in the 9 with bad OHR and no music on the wrist. I like to run without my phone and can’t wait to try out the 7. JMO

A wild Nokia 3310 appears … a charger, what is that?

@fejker Nokia 3310 seems to be a decent comparision and example - as long as you don’t have / need any features, your battery will last really long.
So you changed your mind and now you would use a Timex just to see the minutes and hours, the distance will be estimated as usual … approx 20 years ago?

Anyone want to trade a Suunto 7 for a 9 Baro Titanium? The more I read about the 7 the more I think it will fit my needs better than the 9. Original owner, perfect condition, non smoker

If you only need all of this, a Huawei Watch GT 2 might be enough - at a third of the price!

The spec is sweet indeed. Less than 11mm thick, 1.4" screen, less than 50g weight, 5ATM water-proofing…

There’s a reason it’s so cheaper though:

Didn’t they go with their custom OS on GT2? While the watch has gotten a great battery life as a result, the app situation must be even more pathetic than Wear OS
S7 links to Suunto app and on, to infinity and beyond
Only two buttons?
With US being after Huawei, all bets are off. They will remain in business, sure… But their exposure to consumer segment in Western countries might nosedive, not to mention the watch is useless without a companion app. And if Google can pull Android from under Huawei, who’s to say they won’t remove Huawei apps from the stores?
