@NickK yeah honestly I have heard 0 about sensors. That said if the life is 5h with mp3 (drm) 5h with sensors is ok for me. Just enable it and show the battery toll to the user right ?

@NickK about FB there are rumors.
About fit why not. Imo it’s not hard. The case though can be complicated if those data are need to reach the SUUNTO cloud that eventually get pushed to partners. Get the point ?

Anyone know of somewhere that has black or black/lime in stock? I am not sure Amazon actually has the one I ordered
-
@pilleus wow so cool!
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Just support Stryd would be enough for me.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos do you have notices about the impact in the battery when google pay is configured in the watch due to the full-time oHR sensor? AFAIK when you enable google pay, the watch use oHR to know if you quit the watch to ask for a PIN for security
other question: do you know if suunto is going to sell S7 charger alone?
-
@jorgefd78 about the charger no idea atm I can ask Monday.
About the ohr question, no
This functionality is always on, pay configured or no.
There is even a setting “turn on dnd if watch is not on wrist”
The ohr module has IR that is a separate component Todo this. No ohr fires up.
For example I don’t use 24/7 HR tracking and this feature works.

thank you dimitrios for this detailed answer
did you experience some problem with wifi? sometime it doesn’t detect my wifi (router is about 2 meters from me) or it takes a long time to connect
-
@jorgefd78 if you noticed the watch has no wifi “on” only off and auto.
The watch will try not to use wifi if apps don’t need a lot of data.
So the watch decides cleverly what to use , Bluetooth or wifi.
For example if you open the Google play app, it will try to connect to WiFi.
This is a wear os / Google strategy to provide the best battery life.

@jorgefd78 I have been wearing my S7 for several months as a daily watch and banged the bezel as well as the screen into many things. I have posted photos here, there are no scratches on the watch face or the bezel. I think the watch is well constructed, I have had not issues with durability.

First activity: cycling
Tried to mount the watch on the handle bar, like A3PS or Spartan Ultra. The OHR went crazy and was showing the maximum (red area in the outer circle).
I switched it back to the left arm. This was okay. 5 minutes of OHR at the minimum. The rest of the 2,5 hours were okay.
No autostop for cycling available, so I did it manually. Forgot it on one stop.
Automatically every 10 km the S7 stored a lap.
SA seems to calculate the full time, not the time in movement.
2,5 hours with GPS (no permanent display, because it is useless on the arm while cycling), notifications on, bluetooth on and often the activation of the display to check the distance and speed.
20% of the battery has been lost.
That is very good.
The GPS is very accurate, no difference to A3PS or Spartan Ultra.
I think that the cycling mode should be changed or an autostop function be added. And a switch to deactivate OHR when mounted on the handle bar.
Thanks for reading!

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos OMG!!! MY HEART STOPPED
-
@pilleus I am surprised there is no autostop for cycling. Due to our weather here and a very large snowstorm we had near Thanksgiving I have not had a chance to test this.
-
there is no option to edit FC zones, right?

You mean HR zones? No, I set my max HR higher than it is to get my zones to match as close as possible. I hope this is something that changes.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos for cycling it would be great to have the option autostop on the watch or the calcution of moved time without stops in SA. Strava calculated the cycling activity without pauses.
