S7 roadmap: what are Suunto plans here?

@drunners - that is correct - if you take off the wrist, display and bluetooth will switch off after 1hr - to save battery life. Don’t need to put it in plane mode - it will do it automatically.

@jamie-bg Its not loose, as I never have to re-unlock my screen.

Always-On Screen = OFF
Tilt to wake = OFF
Power Save Tilt = ON
Touch-to-Wake = OFF
For Navigation wrist gestures = OFF

The power-save tilt works 100% perfectly during the day (although MAYBE it seems to go to sleep and require a button press if I have long sleeves sometimes).

@nigel-taylor-0 - to get back from ambient screen you would need to press button, as you only have power save tilt on, so will only show you ambient screen when you tilt your wrist, assuming you are using a suunto power save watch face (which you have to as if not it will grey out that option).

I personally run AOD on (like to always see time like a old fashioned watch), tilt to wake off (move my wrist too much), Power save tilt off (as generally running a non suunto face), Touch to wake - on (rather do that than always have to press button).

I know I need to press a button to get from the ambient low-power screen to ‘fully active’ - that works fine and is just how I want it. I’m only using a Suunto face, so thats fine…and the tilt in NORMAL circumstances is so good that its fine for me to have a blank screen, which shows time only when I move arm to look at it. I find the display too bright and distracting at night time to leave AOD on.

What I’m saying is, in the night (or also seemingly under sleeves) - the tilt gesture itself often doesn’t work so I just have a BLANK screen no matter how much tilting I do.

Its almost like there’s a proximity sensor which decides that if the watch is covered then power tilt to get to the ambient ‘time only’ display shouldn’t happen.
