      @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.

                        No third party app needed, jo additional battery usage.

                        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.

                            Oh, common man! Take one for the team! Intervals? Sensors? Customizable heart/pace zones? Sport modes?

                              @NickK I think that means that he won’t tell us unless he gets spanked. Someone get on that. May I suggest “Garmin” as a safe word?

                                @Fenr1r What do ya know? You are totally right! Well, that makes things so much easier. Who needs Suunto roadmap?

                                  Ended up being quite snowy and a longer day than I expected so I did not use it. I will test it trail running in the next couple of days. When it is cold and snow falling I keep the S7 buried under all of my layers so I did not have the opportunity to mess with it.

                                    @Brad_Olwin Completely understandable. And, by the looks of it, immense fun.

                                      I did the test with VR. Left phone home and did 30mins walking.

                                      • 7% battery (92-85)

                                      will do more tests because I am not sure if the battery of my watch is calibrated with the recent resets i ve been doing.

                                      The app worked nicely I have to admit. Also the GPS was spot on. Never had any issue.

                                        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos And doing (roughly) the same with the proprietal Suunto system would cost … (roughly) …?

                                            Short report about battery life on my S7. I use it for cycling, AOD off, wrist turns on, notifications on, bluetooth connection to WearOS and Suunto app, recording with Suunto app.

                                            1:15 h = 10 % battery usage

                                            It’s the average over 10 days of recording 24 hours of cycling.

                                            OHR is accurate, no Polar H10 needed, gps track as precise as Ambit 3.

                                            For me the S7 is a great watch, a game changer and I love it! 👍😎
