@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)
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

Let me give it a whirl! -
@NickK with this app, I have non $$ clear quality mp3 from whatever. Like wow!

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%
-
@jorgefd78 Did you check where the drain came from?
-
@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 do you have screen always on?

@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!

Hey Guys, I was thinking of acquiring a Suunto 7 for Marathon-training, however I couldn’t find any information on Spotify Offline integration, since I would like to leave my phone at home during training. In the video of DC Rainmaker from January it was a confirmed feature, however I cannot find it now in the product-specifications. Does anybody use Spotify offline with this watch?
Cheers

@touarec Play Music from Google can be used offline and standalone. For Spotify there is the official app, which is just a remote control of the app on the smartphone. And there is a modded version, which is a standalone app for the S7, in the full version there is a download mode integrated:
