      Hello Suunto bunch. Sorry to ask this, in case it’s been already said: but is it possible to upload gpx routes created on the suunto app or anywhere else, to the new Suunto 7?

        @Agustin-Gonzalez-Perez-Corral not with the Suunto App. I hope for an update.

          @pilleus Thank you, man. Only reason that is stopping me from taking the plunge.

            @pilleus In the meantime you could try this. It’s massively redundant to Suunto’s own features and it’s probably a battery vampire but I’m vaguely curious to know if it would even work. Feel like experimenting? Try out a gpx or two?

              @Fenr1r I have tested ViewRanger and it works well.

                Thanks, but I stay with Locus, because my smartphone is available on tour.

                  @Brad_Olwin Well done. GPX import and all? Did you try for the full loop: route from Suunto app -> ViewRanger app on S7? Just for shiggles?

                    finally I managed to make a small run with S7 and S9.

                    It was a few days that I did not use and synchronize the S9, this certainly affected the altitude (not corrected subsequently by high fused), I dare say accurate to the meter on suunto 7.

                    Well cadence and step. Suunto 9 is better here. I made a series of small repetitions of 2 minutes, recovering 1 minute walking, then pace 10’/km. S7 read me more slowly.

                    The WHR is excellent. S9 was connected with the band and today unfortunately showed some peaks, but recovered after first 10 minutes. The readings during the repetitions are comparable.

                    I envy those who performed well with S9, I’ve never had them, so I’m very happy with S7. I continue to prefer the band, but I know that if I forget it at home in the future, if it can ever be used during training on s7 tomorrow, I can still trust my HR data. And that’s a big PLUS for me

                      kinda let down that the 7 doesn’t have the altimeter/barometer profile. Anyone know a good third-party app until Suunto updates the watch?

                          Yes but not how you have stated it. I imported a gpx into ViewRanger web and that was synchronized to the S7 ViewRanger app.

                            @Brad_Olwin Thanks. I was wondering if the SA gpx format was happily accepted by VR … but it’s hardly important. Did you take the VR-S7 combo out for a navigational spin? How was the battery with the maps and all? Sufficient?

                              @Fenr1r I can test that for you if you like.

                              Conditions? GPX + Screen on ? Something esle?

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks but only if you’re really bored and desperate to measure something. (Assuming you don’t have 2 S7s on wrists, conditions would be identical use, time- & function-wise - as far as there is commonality.)

                                I suppose it might be useful for Suunto to have a comparative measure showing how much more energy efficient their dedicated environment is … but VR does offer better topo maps and that gpx import.

                                At the moment: apples and frisbees.

                                  @pilleus Fair enough. I’m not going to insist you indulge in threesomes. Certainly not now I know that @Brad_Olwin has us covered.

                                    @Fenr1r yes it would need 2 s7 for real comparison.

                                    One thing to mention in general is that if you have one app that uses the full processor active , having a second one or third would only add some extra cost to the consumption as the main processor is already active. Of course if the other app is a CPU best it will add up significantly

                                      I was able to export from SA to VR. I am going on a SkiMo tomorrow and will let you know how bad the battery drain is with VR running. I will run both SA and VR on the S7.

                                        @Brad_Olwin in this video they talk about the “fitness and battery”.

                                        Is kind of ”review”

                                        Edit: they speak very well of suunto app. 🙂

                                          @Brad_Olwin Thanks. Have you done the same thing with SA before on its own? If so, while I wouldn’t want you to forgo SA data, wouldn’t VR on its own be a better measure for comparative battery drain? If you’re testing something else, tho’, have at it however. I’m intrigued.

                                            I have been a Suunto 7 owner for two days and I am very disappointed. The Suunto app on both the watch and the phone is stripped of its functions. No sleep tracking, daily activities. The latest update shows that the company does not intend to expand its capabilities. This is a huge step back, and you could add features that are within range of other applications. Unfortunately Sporty Go does not transfer the GPS track to Strava. The new Fossil 5gen has identical functions and costs 60% of the Suunto price.
