Suunto 7

I want to test this watch ASAP to see how works and if it fits in my daily sports. The lack of stryd is a huge milestone for me.

The SportyGo app will connect with Stryd and will show power. I did not care much for the app but that is a personal issue. Perhaps, Stryd folks could be convinced to develop WearOS apps, they did develop an AW app that is quite good. I would inquire on their forums.

@Bulkan @jorgefd78 @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Below is a screenshot for a ~ 1 km treadmill run with Stryd, S7 and S9. All were imported into QS. Treadmill reported 1.08km. That is about as far as I can run on a treadmill without getting physically ill:). I am allergic to running indoors. Stryd was uncalibrated and recording independently.

@Brad_Olwin I know that feeling thank you so much for the information!

[Bulkan]

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for such painful experience, we needed the data. Looks fine for me.

@Brad_Olwin Did you run any incline on a treadmill?

So, in absolute terms… We are talking 84 m difference on 1km run vs Stryd (8%) and 31 m difference vs treadmill (less than 3%). I’d imagine the truth would be somewhere in the middle, and it warms my heart to see that middle is where S7 roughly sits

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Excited to see where the Suunto Plus thing goes in the future with more apps!

[Saketo Nemo]

not in the direction of suunto 7.
I would keep the speeches separate:

• Suunto plus will only run on the suunto proprietary operating system
• wear OS apps only on Suunto 7 (or future wear OS watches)

[isazi]

@Saketo-Nemo sure, I also agree the two things should be separate, but S+ has been mentioned more than once here, therefore @Storz comments.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Saketo-Nemo lets see and hope that S7 gets Suunto Plus. Why not ?

[Frederick Rochette]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes but we need more in SuuntoPlus…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Frederick-Rochette for sure

I think this will help Suunto. They have been losing the market share because others have pay from the wrist, music on your watch, and other smartwatch features. Unless you to an activity longer than a marathon or 100 mile bike ride you have more than enough battery life. Most don’t wear their watches to bed so just put it on the charger like you do your phone every night. I preordered mine and I am excited that Suunto finally added the extra features. I was actually disappointed in the 9 with bad OHR and no music on the wrist. I like to run without my phone and can’t wait to try out the 7. JMO

A wild Nokia 3310 appears … a charger, what is that?

[Shrek3k]

@fejker Nokia 3310 seems to be a decent comparision and example - as long as you don’t have / need any features, your battery will last really long.
So you changed your mind and now you would use a Timex just to see the minutes and hours, the distance will be estimated as usual … approx 20 years ago?

Anyone want to trade a Suunto 7 for a 9 Baro Titanium? The more I read about the 7 the more I think it will fit my needs better than the 9. Original owner, perfect condition, non smoker
