Aereo mode on S7
-
I wish you the same. But if in a forum where experiences are exchanged to improve the experience on a product, the intervention ends with “you could buy another watch”, then yes, it is not worth it. Good day to you

@luca760101 I will try to help as much as I can, but as I have stated before your battery life is not consistent with mine or with what I have seen from other testers. Have you attempted to contact support? This thread is getting a bit long and I do not know if you have tried a complete reset for the watch as well. I think a 5h training and having the watch last all day is a completely realistic expectation. Let us know, maybe provide a list of what you have tried and any apps installed that did not come with the watch, settings for the watchface too.
Like you, my weekends have long exercises, often over 5h and I have pushed my S7 a lot, most of the time it runs out of battery. I have found SkiMo to be worse than running for battery life and do not have a good answer why. -

I have found SkiMo to be worse than running for battery life and do not have a good answer why.Thanks, for sure the skimo stresses the battery more both for the lower temperatures and, as you say, for the movement of the wrist that perhaps excites the movement sensor. I contacted the system and I also sent the watch back to Finland, but I was reactivated without any intervention declaring it without problems. If this post is getting too long, if you have a way to close it (I don’t know if you are a moderator) go ahead, there is no problem. I don’t want to be a problem user, I’ve always owned Suunto, I just want to be satisfied with my purchase.

@luca760101 no need to close a post if it’s active.

@luca760101 You are not a problem user, if you still have your S7 and want to try to improve battery we can work on that here or start another thread. If the hardware is fine then some software or usage is causing you to have less battery then I would expect. I have had my S7 since early fall and prior to release there was much improvement in the battery life. With SkiMo I wear my S7 inside clothes on my arm so it should be warm and use my S9 for Navigation, etc. So the cold does not explain why my battery is not as good for SkiMo. I have done a lot of SkiMo with the S7.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulostoday I chatted a little in private with @luca760101 . there is probably a problem, also found by me, in sports with the use of ski poles.
in running and in most sports, the screen is nornally in standby and is reactivated with the rotation of the wrist, in skimo and in the run with ski poles, probably the watch suffers from false positives and the screen tends to activate with the natural rotations of the wrist of this sport.
can it make sense? I also had the worst performances in these conditions (6h).
in the race I register about 10-11% per hour and in the bike about 9-10%, so mine should not be a very energy-intensive configuration.

@Saketo-Nemo maybe the same reason why skiing is also very battery hungry on the 7?
Not direct experience, I read it here.

That would be consistent with my impression, I have not tried the watch running with poles but SkiMo for me is definitely worse battery consumption-wise. I still think @luca760101 is getting much worse battery than he should. If he is using poles for all running that could explain it. For this issue I would suggest turning off all gestures while exercising but not Airplane mode and see if that helps.

The gestures on my S7 are already disabled including wrist rotation. But when you activate the Suunto app, the rotation gesture to check the activity in progress on the watch is activated by default. Also because it would be very inconvenient to have to touch the watch with the other hand (button or touch) to check the status of the activity.

@isazi
I have no experience with skiing intended as downhill skiing, I can’t tell you.Two other things:
-
in “ski pole” sports, or in any case if you want to maximize autonomy, instead of leaving the Suunto app screen on the energy saving one, which in any case shows lines and symbols and is partially illuminated, it is obviously it is possible to press back to go back to watch mode and to send the screen in complete stand by, i.e. completely black. Obviously, then, to see the data, you will need to press the button corresponding to the Suunto app, the one at the top right.
It is a forcing, but in emergencies, it can be done. -
I believe that Suunto is already working on this front, but I think the energy saving screen can be reviewed with a view to energy saving.
@Brad_Olwin
since you are a tester in the field, do you have any anticipation to give us, without breaking your NDA?

I can tell you that Suunto is working on improving the S7 experience but that is about all I am willing to say.
