@Fenr1r What @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said. Suunto still makes excellent compasses and Dive watches. Their diving platforms were introduced prior to the Vector. During the time Suunto has produced mountaineering and adventure watches there have been many forays into luxury watches. That never stopped them from evolving the adventure watches. I had an X9 and an X10i, believe me, the S9 is a more capable adventure watch.
The Suunto testers and Suunto folks are more oriented toward adventure, I think that is evident from the Suunto Summit as opposed to Garmin hosting running events. It is also evident from what I know of the individuals.
Suunto is not a large company compared to Garmin and I understand the need to grow their base users, but their core is part of their heritage and I doubt this will change.

@Brad_Olwin You are, of course, right about the compasses (I have a couple), dive computers and earlier luxury watches. As I mentioned in a reply to @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, you’ll be fine so long as Suunto’s definition of “adventure” contains yours. But they have withdrawn features supporting other “adventures” than ultras. No reason to think it would happen tomorrow but you do good work keeping your profile high. If the S7 represents a success beyond the level of prior luxury niche sales and Suunto finds itself busier on the line, who knows?
-
@Brad_Olwin or @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos : does S7 have intervals similar to Spartan and S series? What about workout / intensity targets? Much obliged.

Sitting in a hotel bed in China…But coming back to my question that has not been answered yet.
Can the Suunto watch app be used on other WearOS devices?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,
Race S All Black - TI Canary - Titanium Courtney -
@NickK There is a Running Interval Mode but no automatic intervals as yet. Three weeks before release.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Suunto 7:
all the time the powesaving on
do you still have the pretty watch face, access to / update of google fit (step counter & moving time), access to the Suunto WearOS tiles with summary of activities, and can you still play music with powersaving = ON?
And I assume you need to remove the powersaving when you want to start an activity, download maps or sync with SA.
If that’s correct, I would definitely use the S7 like that! -

@NickK no

@jean-william-cousin if I undersatand the question correct:
You have access to all system functions when recording, and all the google fit stuff (watchfaces / tiles) etc.
When powersaving is on there is only a cool watchface showing this one
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok, clear. I guess that would be a bit too extreme for me
I thought powersaving mode was only stopping wifi / bluetooth connections but you would still have the possibility to see the heatmap watchface, the google fit tiles etc…
–> I mixed up powersaving mode with airplane mode. Have you already tested all long the battery last in airplane mode, assuming a “standard” frequence of waking up of the screen? -
@zhang965 You are very clever.

in theory it could, but most probably wont work due to the firmware versions of the HW drivers that are propertiary (GOOGLE/Qualcomm/Suunto)

Hello, Suunto family. Do any of you know if the upcoming 7 will allow .gpx route imports, route planning, etc? Thanks!

will suunto publish a roadmap of future updates as did with spartan family? Sensors connectivity, route guidance and import between other may be basic for a watch like this so I feel like having a deja-vu (yes I paid for the original suunto spartan ultra years ago)
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks man. Happy 2020 (not sure for how long we are allowed to wish it). Could this be a test to see if the S7 approach can be the way forward for the company?

Avec tout l’historique que Gérald a avec la marque Suunto. Et après avoir lu ses critiques sur la Vantage V et la Vertix, je trouve qu’il reste objectif. Ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas du plus médiatique Ray. Même si GarminRay avait été très critique sur l´écosystème de Garmin.
