      @TELE-HO You got it. In modern etiquette terms, the watch charges on the left of the place setting, just outside the prawn fork. The phone remains in its traditional position on the far right, next to the grape spoon.

        😂
        that’s a good hint and I will consider this when we rearrange our dining room next time…
        maybe it would even make sense to install powerbanks into the table?
        …or future proof: a slightely inclined wireless charge pad for the phone where the desserts spoon is placed, so we can still watch TV on the phone while charging and dining…
        on the other hand… by then it will be possible to watch your shows on the watch… 😉

          @TELE-HO I like your thinking. That way you won’t risk missing the on-watch notification of a message sent to your phone by your dining companion(s).

          It’s important for families to communicate at meal times.

            exactly… telepathy does not work for me… so I have to rely on watch, phone and all that technical stuff

              This is definitely meant to hit a different customer base than the S9/Spartan/Ambit/Traverse crowds, which from a business standpoint is probably a very good thing, because Suunto has never really had anything catering to the “smartwatch” wearing type before.

              There’s no reason the company can’t make different watches catering to different crowds, and there’s no reason the S7 or something like it in the future can’t function like a “gateway drug” for people who gradually get more into endurance sports and eventually want to switch to something more S9/Ambit-like. Consider this thing like the S3 for people who wouldn’t consider an S3 because it isn’t a full-blown internet connected smartwatch that plays music, runs apps, does mobile payments, etc.

              I do wonder a bit about the decision to go with WearOS for this thing, though, especially in light of Google’s recent purchase of Fitbit. What happens to this or future, similar watches if/when Google decides to come out with something different of its own and neglect or kill off the platform? That company has quite the extensive history of doing stuff like that.

              That said, between the announcement of the S7 and the recent release of Fossil’s Hybrid HR watches, it’s probably the best bits of news WearOS has had in a while.

              Watch: SSU, FW 2.8.32
              App: 4.22.3 beta
              Phone: Motorola Moto G6
              Android 9
              HRM: Polar OH1

                Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a route planned in SA with the S7?
                I have some doubts reading the user guide…

                  @jean-william-cousin not at the moment. At least from my tests. I asked about it and got no answer

                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks, I got confused by DC rainmaker initial review that (wrongly) says “the Suunto 7 supports breadcrumb trail routes sent to it from the Suunto smartphone app. So if you’ve got a route there, you’ll be able to send it to the Suunto 7 watch to guide you”

                          @Brad_Olwin do you know if it’s possible to directly use 3rd party apps (like Runkeeper / strava /…) to track runs with the gps / altitude of the watch? In other words, does the Suunto 7 allows to use only Suunto’s hardware and to not rely at all on Suunto’s software?

                          Yes, third party apps will run on the watch.

                            It’s an important turn taken by SUUNTO, but the battery life is very far from the S9 and there are no firstbeat features and no SuuntoPlus (with more than Strava RE ;-))… Now (from my side) we have to wait for the S10/11 to have, I hope, a complete new generation watch for running, outdoor activities and everyday life without forget the reliability…

                              Do I read that right, no heart rate from a chest belt?

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos or @Brad_Olwin Can it work side by side with S9 in Suunto app, or the little forget-add device dance is still required? What about external sensors like Stryd or bike speed/cadence? Finally, a really enormously stupid question – ANT+?

                                  @jthomi Yes but the OHR is very, very good. I do not need a belt with this watch. It has been working quite well in cold weather.

                                    @NickK The “dance” is required so far but we are a month away from release so I don’t know what is planned for SA by release date.

                                      Suunto says if you use it in watch mode you get up to 40 days battery… you can forget about that with S9B and even with A3PS

                                        @Brad_Olwin I do believe its quite accurate, that’s not the point for me. I mainly use the watch while mountain biking, and often have the watch strapped to the handlebar, especially in the colder months. And I don’t like wearing a watch so tightly to my wrist.

                                          @TELE-HO just watch mode is nothing more than a watch.
                                          no smart, no sports tracking no nothing.
                                          A reset is required to get it out of this mode again…

                                            @Brad_Olwin It’s not difficult to be better than S9… But what is différent from S3/S5/S9? the brand? the model?
