@isazi Ah, I was waiting for that one! Explains why he’s been so quiet lately.

PS Dropped him a comment to indicate I think OHR is better than he says he is We need a bit of Suunto grassroots propaganda in the media.

@isazi @NickK What are the potential catastrophes from a GPS fix error on a runner’s watch in a tunnel?

[A Former User]

@Fenr1r Define catastrophe. Also I probably train wrong, but how often do you run in a tunnel? Have any tunnels to recommend?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

oh lord this word… Catastrophe…

Polish mover was saying that all day long today while trying not to push his car off the cliff

Ray has been threatening to drop a Suunto 7 in depth on Insta the past couple of days but keeps getting distracted by apres-ski it seems

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@The_77 I saw his post and imo was not nice. (his story)

[The_77]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos We’ll see but I suspect it may not be overly positive from the tone of the stories.

[Fenr1r]

@NickK I was hoping you’d know. Just 5kR, then.

[A Former User]

@Fenr1r Today’s my stupid day, important phase in recovery.

[Fenr1r]

@NickK Stay outta tunnels for the time being. I gather the consequences can be apocalyptic. Especially if your sense of direction is in any way compromised.

I read it, the GPS looks very good.

This phrase:

<<Readers should note that the Suunto 7 absolutely DOES support external sensors like chest straps and STRYD. You just need an app that connects to them and the Suunto app doesn’t do that. FWIW I use qooapps’ SPORTYGO>>

I agree with it, maybe in the future we could have native support for external sensors in the suunto app if the users are using it… I would like to know how many users of the suunto 7 use external sensor via third party apps.

[A Former User]

@Fenr1r Oh my, oh my! And here was I hoping to run home through the Lincoln Tunnel. I hear exposure to car exhaust works miracles against coronavirus.

[A Former User]

@Bulkan You know my answer. I use it. A lot. Suunto should just buy out Sporty Go developer, rebrand the app to Suunto 2, and call it a day.

[pilleus]

Oh. I have the better S7 than the 5krunner. My S7 has a perfect OHR. Tested several times in comparison with the Polar H10.

Woohoo! ️

[Bulkan]

@NickK @Fenr1r using Stryd The tunnels aren’t a concern.

[sartoric]

Do not underestimate the POWER OF TUNNELS

[Fenr1r]

@sartoric Also the metaphorce.

[A Former User]

@sartoric My girth clearly disqualifies me from those
