Suunto 7 - Tips and tricks, apps and watch faces

[Brad_Olwin]

@pilleus I downloaded the watch face. Very nice but…1. No ambient mode for me, the face is black. 2. I cannot get Premium features to load and see what they are to determine if the purchase is worth it.

[pilleus]

@Brad_Olwin ambient mode is working on all my WearOS watches. And Premium is only a year of hourly weather forecast.

@pilleus I cannot configure ambient mode either (at least noch tilt to ambient). I saw the screen with the very limited information though this morning - don’t know I I got there and had no chance to show it again.

Plus: no moon phase blue dots for me…?

[isazi]

@Egika similar to you and @Brad_Olwin I cannot see the ambient screen. Except I did see it sometimes, but it was super fast and moved immediately to the normal screen.

[pilleus]

@Egika ambient mode cannot be configured. Just enable AOD.

Permissions are given?

[Egika]

@pilleus AOD does it (showing the limited info screen)

all permissions given - still no blue moon dots…
and funny thing is, that those blue dots also don’t show up in the screens on the play store for this app…

[pilleus]

@Egika can you please enable moon phase in one of the complications? May be the data come from there?

[Egika]

@pilleus thank you, but no

[pilleus]

@Egika no idea what’s the difference. Because on 3 WearOS watches it’s working fine for me.

[Egika]

@pilleus no prob. I like it the way it is for me. The blue dots would mess up with the design anyway

@isazi
@Egika
@Brad_Olwin

exactly my experience also. Just once I could see the ambient screen, but vanished in half a second.

The blue dots are showing the rain was my first idea. And I think this was correct if you have no rain today.

Here it’s raining cats and dogs and the blue dots are showing up until midnight.

Yesterday it was synchron with the moon phase. This was random and perhaps not true.

[Egika]

ok, cool. let’s see what happens next week then in Hamburg

Ambient mode works fine for me

[pilleus]

@pavel-samokha for me too. On two S7 watches.

[pavel.samokha]

I also likes the watchface showing my agenda.
But a big drawback for me - ambient and normal mode are too different, I’d prefer they have the same layour, just less data on ambient.

[isazi]

@pavel-samokha with AoD right? With this is also working for me, what is not working (and probably not implemented) is the tilt to power wake. At least I am guessing this because of the behavior I see.

[Egika]

@pavel-samokha misunderstanding.
I was thinking that ambient mode is the low power tilt to wake mode.
As some watch faces do have this (like the built-in ones)

[pavel.samokha]

@isazi @Egika yes, seems like misunderstanding from my side. I always use AoD.

[isazi]

@pavel-samokha I am surprised, I always thought AoD would have terrible battery life, but I am using this watch face with AoD and have basically normal battery life day to day (i.e. close to 48 hours).
