    @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.

                      @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?

                              @Brad_Olwin How was the battery life with ViewRanger on S7 during your w/e SkiMo?

                              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) …?

                                      I ll test with s7 + walking tomorrow same duration same fiddling

                                        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! 👍😎

                                          @pilleus I decided to bite the bullet and have a real look at Sporty Go. A pleasant surprise! Like Garmin devices and unlike Polar and Suunto, it works well with WHOOP band, which now has heart rate broadcast via BLE and which I have on myself 24/7 for strain/recovery tracking. This means I can track my dojo sessions, strength, and cardio work all without relying on additional sensors and on Suunto 7 to boot.

                                          What’s more, Exercise Timer looks pretty sweet for intervals/structured workouts. In fact, it has the cleanest interface for setting up your structured activities, which are seamlessly synced to execute on the watch. And you can go nuts with repeating groups inside repeating groups, no limit on number of steps, and so on. There’s a handy shortcuts to jump to next phase or skip multiple phases altogether (hello, Polar M600!). The only thing I don’t like about it is their ridiculous $3/month subscription model.

                                          Later today-tomorrow I’ll be testing Sporty Go/Timer + WHOOP combo. If it works, my Suunto 9 will be relegated to mostly running that requires intensity targets/ad hoc intervals.
