Suunto 7: no auto-pause?!?!
-
The Suunto 7 doesn’t appear to have an auto-pause feature. This, in combination with other aspects of the watch, seems to present a major problem!
I’m running in a cold climate right now, needing long sleeves/jacket. Due to the touch screen on the Suunto 7, I need to lock the screen to not get errant touches from my clothing.
When the device is locked, the ‘pause’ button is also locked. This would be fine with an auto-pause feature, but without auto-pause, I have to unlock the watch (which takes 1 second), and then hit the pause button. This is just not workable for any run (workout, etc.) where you might need to pause the device.
Is anyone else having issues with this?
-
u’re right. No auto pause
-
manual-pause is fine for suunto,
you don’t need to require everything -
@Luke-Fowler I have the same problem, so I deactivated the touch (but not locked it) and use the buttons to pause / see the other screens…
-
I’m pretty sure it will get added in future updates. Way before customizable sports modes or intervals
-
@jean-william-cousin how do you deactivate touch without locking the watch? When I lock it locks both the touch and the buttons, I can’t find a way to only disable the touch screen?? (I’m using “Running basic” mode)
-
@Luke-Fowler I do that in WearOS, not in the Suunto App. If you deactivate the touch to wake “globally”, and don;t use the always on screen, then you’re (almost) good to go
-
@jean-william-cousin I use it in the same way. Accidentally touch is avoided, turning the wrist will show the full screen and buttons for pause and resume are available.

There’s an auto pause function if you start a run from the suunto app on the phone. There’s also a ghost target function. But if I start the run in the app it won’t show up on the watch, right?
-
@Dominik-Moser yes, no possibility to see the data on the watch. The Suunto app on the phone is only for syncing the activities from the S7 into the Suunto app.

Ghostracer is an option
