      I am the only one to think the 7 is now the same as android when everyone used Nokia brick phones? Not perfect, not that good battery life, but after some years the mass device.
      As many, it was not the device I wanted , but I think it will sell well and be a victory to suunto

        @André-Faria Probably Suunto have market studies. I hope they sell a lot. But for some markets almost 500€ per unit is heavy. The world is overload of gadgets. And competition is hard. You have to propose a very good package to convince customers.

          @Luís-Pinto I can only add that being Wear OS, the device is implicitly Android bound. Which implies dozens of competing watches, some with very similar specs in terms of screen, memory, storage, and CPU, – all at roughly half the price. This is before we even count other usual suspects such as Fitbit, which is still very much around, and Garmin with its ever smarter ConnectIQ platform.

          Hell, maybe even Polar gets in a defensive play and releases an M600 follow up, but now with all the goodies that delivered in the past 12-18 months.

            I’ve heard a lot of times the phrase “If suunto would launch an smart watch with their hardware they’ll sell a lot” The people from where I hear it was the ones frustrated with AppleWatch or WearOS.

            I want to see the S7 if WearOS is a problem or not, but the S7 is a very nice daily watch for the city.

              Amazon music app is available to install in S7 via Wear OS?

                @Luís-Pinto I don’t think so. I don’t think it’s available for any Wear OS watches.

                    @Luís-Pinto Nope. Sorry. Actually check out https://forum.suunto.com/topic/3806/s7-the-state-of-google-wear-os

                    I decided to bite the bullet and tell it like it is, based on my latest Wear OS experience

                        @Luís-Pinto Yeah… It’s playback for your phone controls. Not the real offline sync and playback on the watch without a phone. At least that’s what it was up until now. DCR had a few words to say about this in his overview comments too.

                          @NickK but do you see Spotify icon? It can’t be music controls.

                            @Luís-Pinto I have a Brooklyn bridge to sell… Man, you are easy to trust!

                            https://www.drmare.com/spotify-music/play-spotify-on-wear-os-smartwatch.html

                            Repeat after me: this isn’t a real app. You can’t download your Spotify playlist and play it off the watch without a phone. Period. Welcome to a wonderful world of misleading marketing.

                              No great deal. Wearify is Spotify on Wear OS. ✌️

                                  Google play music allows you to download music on WearOs and enjoy it off line.
                                  There’s another app doing that on WearOs, can’t remember the name but it’s not one of the well known streaming service apps

                                    Also to add there are a few ways to send even MP3 to the watch and play them with a player app.

                                    Google play music that has DRM will “damage” about 22% the battery per hour , connected to BT earphones.

                                    Gplay music noDRM about 10-18%? (not exactly sure yet). You can upload to Google play music your MP3’s FYI or if you have music bought it’s not DRMed.

                                    I think this will be a very interesting subject for many users.

                                    However, Spotify might make some move since its a well requested feature

                                      @jean-william-cousin Google Music would indeed provide the offline playback, but from what I understand a lot of people use Spotify for social/playlist aspects of it which isn’t matched by Google Music. Also there’s an issue of catalogue size, which in the past was significantly larger for Spotify. But yeah, if offline music playback is what you seek Google Music and Pandora are there.

                                          It was not available in Tizen nor in Garmin for a long time. But meanwhile it’s working there.

                                          I think there will be a full featured spotify app in wear os too in the future.

                                          Google is not interested in developing such an app. There is play music. 😊

                                            I think that most of the people don’t leave their house without a smartphone. And in my smartphone there is Spotify with all features. My smartwatch is only the backend to manage the songs and adjust the volume.
