Suunto 7

Storz

If it starts shipping within this/next week, the first in depth reviews should also be coming.

I’ll post up a ton of pictures and my thoughts on it after I’ve had it for a while, I’ve had quite a few ‘smart’ watches over the years, and honestly this one checks all the boxes for me the most it would appear. While I really like the Garmin eco-system and Connect IQ apps etc, I think Suunto makes a far nicer product, the hardware is simply a higher quality.

8 more days to wait!!

The overly long list of watches I’ve tried:

Fenix 1
Fenix 2
Fenix 3 Sapphire
Fenix 3 HR
Fenix 5x
Fenix 5x Plus
Garmin Instinct
Suunto 9 Baro
Suunto 9 Baro Ti
Suunto Traverse Alpha
Casio WSD-F20
Casio WSD-F30
Nixon Mission

@Storz Hang in there! Some of us have been waiting for almost a month now. Dusted off my old LG Sport just to test waters with latest Wear OS, ended up grabbing Fossil Gen 5 on recommendation of people here. I Suunto 7 is as fast as Fossil (and it should be given it’s also Qualcomm 3100 and 1GB RAM I’d imagine), this would be a total winner.

Storz

@NickK Yeah the new Fossil Gen5 Garrett looks really nice!

@Storz So you still own all those watches or you sell them and buy next one?

What color is everyone getting? I’m trying to decide between black/lime and graphite/copper. I’m not sure I like the graphite color though I do like the copper.

@MadFoodScientist The photos on the website are accurate for the graphite/copper as that is the model that I have.

I went with the All Black version and plan to get the amber explore strap for it eventually

Is the quality the same as the factory straps? I fear having a pin break or having the strap come off and losing the watch.

@Storz no problems since 10 months daily usage. For me no difference between the original black strap and the amber one.
