        @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) …?

                  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.

                      To be honest, this can be done on any other Gen 5 Fossil or Skagen watch for half the price of the S7. 🧐

                        @pilleus can you confirm that the 10% battery usage for 75 min of GPS activity is made possible because you have your phone with you, and the S7 is then using the GPS of the phone by bluetooth which is less battery consumption than using the GPS of the watch itself?

                        I am very happy with the S7 too, and for my needs I can now charge every 3 days. But I don;t take my phone with me when running / cycling, and I see a higher battery consumption that the one your report per activity - still very much ok, but not as “light” as yours. So I just want to understand if the phone thing explains it, or if there’s another setup I can do to improve battery consumption (without phone)

                          The S7 doesn’t use the gps of the phone in Suunto App while recording an activity. It needs up to 30 seconds to have a fix when starting a new activity. This is the gps of the watch. The gps of the phone would give a fix immediately after opening S7 app.

                          I did half of my rides without connecting the S7 to WearOS or Suunto app on the phone. Battery life is identical. No doubt about it! 👍

                            One thing to keep in mind. From my tests Running/Walking consumes ~30% more than cycling.

                            Apparently antenna position , cadence and other thingies.

                                        @pilleus I’m afraid that transfer cancels out the half you saved me by suggesting to use Fossil 🤢

                                        Also, when sending bank wire info, beware of Nigerian royalty!

                                          Today I recorded a short walk with my Skagen Falster 3 and Ghostracer in standalone gps mode. Used sensors were heart rate (OHR), barometer and running cadence.

                                          Walking time: 1 hour
                                          GPS track: terrible, wobbling around
                                          Heart rate: precise
                                          Elevation (gain): precise
                                          Battery usage: 28 %

                                          Okay, no alternative to S7! 😳😎

                                            No indeed. Went for a recovery jog with S9 and S7 yesterday, 55 minutes. Google Play subscription music playing all the time (though some songs were purchased, so I’d imagine not all of the playlist was DRM-protected). Still, 55 minutes of GPS, OHR, and music came to about 20% battery use.

                                            Would have probably a bit more if I was checking S7 as opposed to relying on running power zone target in S9 😂

                                            Oh, GPS is really good, less than 0.03 mi difference from S9 with Stryd. OHR is way better than S9: no spikes, no cadence locks.
