      @André-Faria sure, f5 had some features that s9 still doesn’t have, but the latest beta you’ve sent had almost exclusively the bug fixes, while s9 is getting some beefy updates.

      I’m just saying, it’s nice to see thats suunto supports semi-old watches. As for which brand is better/more loyal/etc, I leave it for everyone to decide for themselves.

          @André-Faria yes it had more features, but worse GPS, altimeter, and battery life than the S9. Oh and let’s not talk about the issue with the Bluetooth and ANT+ antenna that would disconnect all the time (it’s even in the comments in Ray’s reviews). Also, only the more expensive F5X had maps. But the S9 is a newer watch, so comparison is not fair anyway. I had both F5S and F5, it wasn’t a great watch, I sold the s and send the normal unit back to Amazon for a refund.

            @BinoWorld-UK I do not know how decisions are made regarding features but the SuuntoPlus Guides have a tremendous flexibility and allow Suunto to customize features and provide flexibility that they did not have before. The S7 was an interesting experiment, the development produced an end product that Suunto considered finished I guess.

            As for comparing with competitors, I think the map implementation on the S7 is better than any other. I bought and used an Epix 2 for ~8 months, did several races with it and eventually sold it. There were too many issues that I did not like. Having maps is nice but on a small screen they are less useful than I imagined. Using maps on the Garmin seriously reduces battery estimates as well. So there are trade offs using maps, they also reduce battery life on the S7 if a route is loaded.

            Suunto does add requested features as I have stated before. They may not implement them as you might expect. For example, myself and many others requested offline syncing for Ambits. We got offline syncing but not the way we expected, it came with the transition to a mobile app and the introduction of the Spartan line.

              @Brad_Olwin I have to agree with you the S7 mapping capabilities on that quality screen is the best however, the S7 hasn’t received a single additional feature since the release. No suunto plus or virtual partner…

                @BinoWorld-UK I do think Suunto considers the S7 as an Apple Watch equivalent and not a dedicated sport watch. Hence, no Guides, Ghost Runner, etc. For this type of watch the sports features are equivalent or better than competitors. If an updates comes, I would expect different hardware.

                  The best thing about s7 is the screen and I still waiting for a new Suunto watch with a amoled screen
                  I don’t now if it comes but I hope for it

                    @isazi The whole Ant+ thing is still an issue with Garmin. In order for me to use external sensors like the STRYD foot pod, I have to use my Suunto 9 Baro because it has a way better connection via Bluetooth. I literally disconnected my STRYD from Garmin because it was always behind. STRYD also seems to make excuses for Garmin in this regard and they refuse to disclose any information as to why the connection with Garmin products is so bad. They literally tell you not to connect to Garmin via Bluetooth. Garmin’s Bluetooth connection is apparently useless. Suunto may not have a ton of features, but it works the way I need it to work…every time. My only complaint with Suunto is the terrible OHR and the lag. Other than that it’s a reliable product.

                        OHR in S9B is basically useless (for me, my opinion).
                        I couldn’t do sports without my verity sense.

                          @freeheeler btw, after I changed to an elastic hook and loop strap, my ohr improved by much. Not to say its good, but not terrible. So I use ohr for the activities where I care little about instant HR and more so about the average. I coud indeed get rid of huge spikes and drops and cadence lock, so I’m satisfied.

                            the way I like to wear my watch doesn’t help for good OHR reading. I know that a better watch with better OHR will improve, but still isn’t up to my verity sense 🙈 I simply don’t like sitting a watch too tight.
                            I like my watch like I like my ski bindings: relatively loose at some parts 😂 😉

                              @freeheeler still, I’d suggest you give it a shot. It is tight but doesn’t feel like it.

                                  The OHR doesn‘t work on tattoed sleeves since the last update. Really terrible SW-work from suunto. I will give them one last chance with the next update….or i will start a new adventure with polar

                                      OHR is terrible for me also, in running in particular. It tends to read around 20/30 bpm more. I have tried many times with different positions, configurations… No success. If I wear my wife’s Apple Watch, the readings are almost perfect.

                                          @Efejota yes S9B useless most of the time, especially if it gets slightly colder or during running… S9P little better, but still makes me use smart sensor. Tried Garmins new 4th gen. This was for me complete different thing… Very reliable. But don’t want a Garmin watch (altitude accuracy, app, style, love SUUNTO brand…). Let’s see if S9PPro gets updated sensor…
