          I think this is due to Android sensor API. You register to receive events, and you get them continuously as the watch processes inputs from sensors regardless of whether the app is running or not. So, if you put your digits into many cookie jars, the drain might become material. That assuming the app doesn’t do anything nasty or throws/catches an error.

            @NickK can be. Not sure. Also guys I installed aida64

            This gives a good look to what sensors the watch has.

            Some of those eg pressure register as 2 , one on demand and one a waking one if I am correct.

              Okay. I will have a look at it. I use only the app “Altimeter” to display the current altitude as a complication in a field of the watch face.

                  @pilleus Is it customized Calico or Essential? I like that watch face. Reminds of Apple Watch. But in a much better and watch-like packaging

                      For barometric altitude I use the app

                      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appfour.wearaltimeter

                      The altitude can be used for complications in customizable fields of a watch face.

                      For settings long tap the first screen.

                      Uncheck all options in sensors to have the barometric altitude and adjust it to the known altitude of your location.

                        The standard watch face “Marine” is the only one on the Suunto 7.

                        @pilleus I think that is not true. All our watch faces are decomposing aka powesaving

                          If you want the AW version purchase the full version of classic

                            No doubt about it. I talked about the hand that shows the seconds in ambient mode and there I found only the one watch face.

                            Sorry!

                                A very precise rain radar is available with the app

                                https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.wetteronline.regenradar

                                on the smartphone and the app

                                https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wearablewidgets

                                on the smartphone and the S7.

                                I personalized the right middle button to show wearable widgets. In wearable widgets on the phone I choosed rain radar (screenshot 1) or weather radar (screenshot 2) as widget and configured it to fit the full round screen of the S7.

                                  To avoid the poor import of activities from Suunto to Google Fit I deactivate the option in Suunto App settings on the watch.

                                  I let the Suunto App on the smartphone sync to Strava and import the synced activity with SyncMyTracks in Google Fit.

                                  Then I have the activity immediately listed with all data and track on the shown map.

                                  Works great with any other third party app (e. g. Notification&Fitness, which I use together with my Amazfit GTS for sleep tracking).

                                  Here the details in Google Fit, the activity is recorded with Suunto App on the S7.

                                    Interval timer for sprints and more while running, cycling or swimming or everything else:

                                    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neurondigital.exercisetimer

                                    Installation on smartphone (for creating a new training) and S7 (to start the timer).

                                    The timer can run in foreground or background (then you only feel the very strong vibration of every circle and you are able to have a look at the heart rate in Suunto App).

                                    I choose a training with the S7 Suunto App and then I start the timer. You can preset in the timer a time of preparation (e. g. 30 seconds), meanwhile you can switch to S7 Suunto app and start the training. Or whatever you want. 😊

                                        @pilleus @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos And that’s how Suunto delivers structured workouts 😂 Can’t argue with the workaround.

                                          @pilleus About this, there is a video (in spanish) but you can see the switching from strava, suunto app and an alarm.
