Suunto 7 and music
-
@olymay should have kept play music until YouTube was ready - it really worked well too.
-
@jamie-bg Agreed, it was brilliant.
However, for the most part YTM is pretty good on the phone (million times better than when it launched!) so I am hoping that the WearOS version will also be pretty decent

@olymay said in Suunto 7 and music:
Google have confirmed they are working on a YouTube Music app for WearOS, but there is no confirmation if it will include offline playback, but as Google Play Music had this then I am hopeful.
Just incase anyone is wondering where they have confirmed this,
https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/youtube-music-now-available-apple-watch/
Close to the end they say
Stay tuned for additional updates on YouTube Music availability on WearOS.
This is a blog post from 15th October. Hopefully we wont have to stay tuned for to much longer.

@aleksander-h could be in for a long wait, considering from when other blogs/people announced the weather update / the tile update which we still don’t have - Suunto I believe this is on you / and the H MR2 update - which we were the first to receive, but some other manufacturers are only receiving now (manufacturers fault).
Generally wear os stuff only gets announced when its going to launch, so wouldn’t hold my breath. If you see blogs starting to get excited about, then can start waiting.
-
@jamie-bg I would agree with you, except that a YTM app will be exactly that, a separate app, and not directly tied into WearOS itself. It will simply need Google to publish it to the Play Store and there will be no need to liaise with hardware manufacturers etc.
Hopefully this will speed things up. -
@olymay only problem with that are tiles and weather update isn’t tied to manufacturers either - that is a direct drop by google via play store - and that drop took over 6 months to come out from when the bloggers heard about it. Yes it also there is some sort of reliance from manufacturers - can’t quite make out what, but seems they have to sign off on it once its available before will be rolled out to device i.e. why we don’t have our additional tiles yet (suspect may be to enable manufacturers to say no if they tihnk it might not be beneficial to device).
-
@jamie-bg I’m not sure about that, as if it was just down to Google sending out via Play Store then all devices would get it at the same time. Instead, some have it and some don’t, and some have only half (my S7 has the new weather app, but still limited to five tiles).
It is still part of the WearOS app.YTM will be completely separate and when it goes live will be available to everyone all at the same time.
I do agree that the timescale could be anything from days to months (or longer) as Google have a long history of announcing something shiny and new but not releasing it for a long time.
Ah well, we sit and wait, as usual.
