      @kripar yeah, That’s not too much to ask for.

        There is always a solution: Samsung GW5 will be pretty good 😀

          @metalmi Samsung GW5 can also not use the Suunto Wear App with external sensors.

          A similar solution to using a Samsung watch would be to use the S7 with a 3rd party app that uses external sensors…

          Anyway, I agree that we most likely won’t see this feature coming to the S7. This has obviously been a design descision factoring in battery use, target group, R/D resources, etc.

          t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,

            in case you guys missed this topic, there are some workarounds of other apps that can use an external sensor on s7.

                Suunto should really consider publishing at minimum security updates to Suunto 7 smartwatch. Having internet connected device with personal information including payments without security patches is ticking bomb for Suunto brand.

                  I’m wondering which brand of fitness/smartwatch have the best record of keeping it up to date. Suunto unfortunately seems very bad keeping at least the 7 updated.

                    @harboe but it still updates almost 4 year old S9, that’s cool, right?

                      I think this is done with the WearOS updates. Suunto does not need to update the sports side for security.

                        What needs to be updated? While there are features I would like to have on the S7, for example customizable HR zone is probably my #1, why does it need updating? The sports side is fairly complete and I think Suunto has been clear that external sensors for the Suunto Wear OS app is not going to happen.

                          @brad_olwin security updates should at least be kept kinda up to date, like another user recently said.

                            And that is Googles job as that is part of WearOS. Why would the Suunto App need security updates? Again, I doubt that is Suunto’s responsibility.

                              @brad_olwin if it’s like android phones, it’s the manufacturer’s job to push out security patches that Google provides. For instance, Samsung tests and pushes out the android security patches for their phones after Google makes them available to them. So it probably is Suuntos job to do this for the S7.

                                Since WearOS on the watch is updated independently and has been updated several times since the last Suunto update I doubt it. I am sure there are some patches Suunto needs to occasionally do but general WearOS updates are not part of that.

                                  I’ve received a feedback mail from Suunto asking me how I like the first couple of months with my S7.
                                  I think it is an automatic mail (most likely it is!), but if S7 (or wearOS in general) would be completely off Suuntos radar, my opinion would be that they stop sending emails like that.

                                    @freeheeler it’s possible they want to se how the transition to Wear 3 goes before they make a decision. If they do make a wear 3 device, they might have to redo a lot of the work they did, so they might not want to continue to invest resources in an app for Wear 2. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

                                      I must say that I liked the S7 from what I saw. I used it only briefly as a backup while my S9B was in service… what I disliked most is that I had to keep the charging cable in mind permanently.
                                      I am curious if Suunto is working on a new WearOS and how it will be 🙂

                                        @freeheeler I don’t mind the charging. That said, I wanted a smart watch that was also a good running watch, so I wasn’t expecting anything with multi-day battery.

                                          It is same as for Android. Manufacturer has to apply the security patch when it is available and push it to watches. If you still don’t believe it, check security patch version on S7 - it is “July 2021”.

                                            Anyone know what the latest security patch is for wear 2? Tried to Google it but couldn’t find any information.
