      @Michał-Muszyński I see. Yes, lack of external sensors for heart rate and Stryd is a major bummer. I’m still hoping Suunto does something about it.

        Today I did a quick test of two watches - S9 and S7. Calm cycling around the city. GPS quality in S7 same as S9 - SUPER. But heart rate accuracy is poor. In S9 the Wahoo Ticker sensor was connected and in S7 built-in.
        I turned on the Sporty Go app connected to Suunto Smart Sensor.

        I attach two FIT files.

          Wait, so was it a separate ride with a sensor and Sporty Go this time I assume?

            @NickK I launched both Sporty Go and Suunto simultaneously. The watch measures the heart rate from the wrist in the Suunto app, Sporty Go used a connected Suunto Smart Sensor

              cycling

              Often a problem of the kind of the activity and the position of the arm. While cycling the watch must be very tight to stay behind the wrist.

              I did some tests with S7 and Spartan Ultra/Polar H10 and I experienced the best results with the S7. Not worth to go out with the H10. Average of heart rate was the same in all activities (mountain biking, calm ride downtown, race with the carbon bike).

              My experience. Enjoy your S7! 😊✌️

                I will do bike tests and check. I drive Enduro, I tried to use the built-in sensor on the watch S9 and S5 and the difference was large compared to Wahoo TICKR

                  For me the S7 is the best of all Suunto watches with OHR. I sold Spartans with OHR and S9. All of these didn’t work good for me while cycling. The first one is S7, no idea why.

                    @pilleus I’m not saying that this watch is bad, but in relation to S9 and S5 it is a step back for me. Lack of functions from the Suunto ecosystem means that it does not meet my expectations. The pros it has are not big enough that I would be able to accept the cons.

                    I exercise regularly at the gym with ketles, a barbell, the watch bothers me. In winter I go to Fatbike, I can’t see anything under my winter clothes.

                      @pilleus The OHR sensor is different, not the one used in SSU or S series watches.

                        I know, may be that the lifeq works better than the other ones in Spartans or S9B. 🤔

                          @pilleus It works much better. I have a lot of Pilates, running and SkiMo where the S7 OHR matches the belt on my S9. The S7 even works well for the running intervals I do. Now to solve the problem for biking…

                              @Fenr1r btw I was very confused with VR didn’t know if it used phone GPS / DATA or working as a solo app…

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Darn. If you don’t know, what hope is there for us mere mortals? I guess if @Brad_Olwin left his phone at home and lost fix just after clipping his skis on … we’ll find out.

                                  @Fenr1r just for the info , it consumed (if I did things right and also with my phone arround) about 3% for 30mins walk. The screen would go black with the VR logo. So there is some battery saving there

                                    @Fenr1r but that 3% is suspiciously low.

                                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos “suspiciously low”: as in “doing nothing except Bluetooth”? Plausible:

                                      From the Wear OS VR instructions: BUY A CASIO PRO TREK. Kidding. Actually “If you wish to force the watch to use its own GPS chip, rather than the Android phone, turn off Bluetooth.” There will be battery consequences from not using the phone’s GPS, you are warned frequently.

                                        @Fenr1r Though so… But when starting the app it was nagging me to connect to the phone. Strange. Will try again today or tomorrow morning that I typically walk the baby for 2-3Km.

                                        Btw route import from SA to VR and then to watch was seamless. Very easy.

                                          In S7 app offline maps are available for use with every gpx file.

                                          It’s a must! 😎✌️

                                            @pilleus I am sure Suunto cannot ommit this from the S7. No more opening my mouth before I am spanked again.
