      @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 πŸ˜‚

          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.

            @NickK The subscription service will burn through the battery much faster than if you download your own mp3 files. I certainly found this to be true.

              @Brad_Olwin I’d say about half the songs in the playlist were mine. But no more than that. I’d imagine Google Play would pull DRM-free versions of them, but hard to say. Will do another run on Sunday. Maybe I’ll remove my songs and leave only subscription stuff or vice versa.

              I did a tempo run the night before, using S7 and Pandora offline station. 40 minute got me down by about 28%. I did check S7 screen a lot. And Pandora is a total piece of garbage as an app and a terrible battery guzzler. I don’t think they updated it since 2016 or so. Same bugs I remember seeing on M600 were still present.

              So far I’m looking at 0.4% to 0.7% per minute of GPS, OHR, and music. This would come to roughly 2-5 hours of running on a fully charged watch. I think with Google Play and purchased playlist, you should be able to comfortably do marathon with this thing.

                I dont know that as well. On the phone it downloads the normal mp3.

                However, on the s7 with a filemanager did not find any mp3 for my own music (purchased / uploaded)

                Should I say this? Music mate app buddy. Downloads 320kbps mp3 (non-DRM) from your Gplay music (not purchased) πŸ™‚

                I download the mp3s with this app and reupload them to GooglePlayMusic and thus I have always non-drm mp3s. If it makes any sense

                      The last test i did was a total disaster and this what it makes me to return S7

                      62’ minutes playing my own music in play music. No connection to phone. I didn’t check much the watch and didn’t use maps. Total battery drain was 35%

                          @NickK the day before I did the same test but without music. Same track. Same time. Same checks. (maybe a little bit more) and the battery drain was 20%.

                              @jorgefd78 This is Wear OS for you. Yesterday after the run I was checking battery usage. Pandora came up at 1% even though I haven’t touched that app in 48 hours and I think even rebooted my watch at some point. Since the app is a total PoS on the watch, I simply promptly uninstalled it. But I’m sure there can be more, starting with Wear OS itself. Google Play itself is a strange and buggy animal.

                                  I did AOD vs non-AOD and frankly, I’m not seeing that much difference. Does the screen even go blank when in Suunto app? Every time I look at my watch, Suunto app displays ambient screen with music buttons.

                                    @jorgefd78 that is really low to be honest. (or very high consumption). Should not like so.

                                      The battery consumption during the day was freaking awesome but not running. After 4 tests running I realize that I don’t want to test more and decide to go with a suunto 9. When SA accepts more than one watch in a easy way I will buy again. The watch is awesome

                                        Is there a way to set an alarm with sound? I can only set it to vibrate. Did I miss something? Thanks.

                                          3:10 h mountain biking, a lot of notifications from the phone, 30 minutes AOD

                                          Battery 75 % -> 49 %

                                          Altitude perfect, ascent (820 m) and descent (817 m) perfect, minimum and maximum altitude exact, Ambit 3 or any other Suunto watch can’t be better.

                                          S7 rocks! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘
