just found some really nice videos on youtube regarding ghostracer, it seems like a really good app

@pilleus Does the GhostRacer app only run on your android phone? I just searched for it in the google play store on my S7 and did not find it. Thanks!

@pilleus Ghostracer will not run on an S7 without an Android phone. I downloaded it and it will not work if one is iOS based.

I really like the S7. Good sports watch even though some gaps has to be solved; fit integration, sensors. I like having wear with remote camera etc, always at hand.

vlado

I know that it is not possible to have two watches at the same time inside SA but is it possible to pair lets say S9 to SA when you go for a run and later when you finish just unpair it and pair S7 again?
This would be some kind of workaround until support for external sensors for S7 comes

A Former User

@vlado Yes. That’s an official workaround in fact. Have both watches paired. Forget one in SA, add another, sync, then forget and add the previous one back.

This only needs to be done in SA app. All phone level Bluetooth pairing stays unchanged.

This was my next question, on the watch level i don’t need to do anything and beside S7 the other watch can be S9 or Ambit3, i guess it does not matter.
Also, i will probably start on working on my own app for stryd because i don’t think that the official one will come so soon

Post a GitHub repo when you do. I think quite a few people here me including would be happy to help out

vlado

I am still long way from that but i am definitely considering.

Thanks

I would pay for it!

vlado

@Brad_Olwin Me too, gladly
I have sent my log files from that Stryd third party app to developer who made it, he said he will look into it, if that goes well great, if not i will try to make something…
Ultra simple… get data… apply calibration factor… find a way for data to appear in SA, that is it.
If ever do made it, it will definetly be free.
The only problem is time and the fact that baby is coming in the next couple of days

@vlado Welcome to the club of Baby’s sleepless.

About the app. I have my hopes about Suunto Plus and an app with:

Power (3s,10s)
last lap power
running effectiveness ( (meters per secon/ watios per kg))
average power

I don’t know how much time until
Suunto Plus is with apps BUT with the S7 it could be done right know.

@vlado welcome to the sleepless zone. Perhaps the only time that sleep tracking doesn’t work.

May all go fine with the baby.

Thanks for welcoming to the danger zone

@NickK what would be better workaround, the one with connect/disconnect in SA or to keep S7 in SA and Ambit3 in Movescount app?

pilleus

The S7 just works! I enjoy every workout and the daily usage.

Today 3 hours mountain biking (path).

S7: 44,48 km - 741 m ascent - 744 m descent - battery usage 27 %
A3PS: 44,41 km - 744 m ascent - 747 m descent - forgot to check battery level at the start

@pilleus I really like my S7 but it would be much better with Android…that will not happen, I am totally Apple. However, I am not an Apple Watch fan for workouts, it is too much hassle to view zones, do intervals, etc. S7 is my weekday watch and S9 my weekend watch. Going to try to get the S7 to last a 55k race in a couple of weeks.

Bulkan

@Brad_Olwin I’m iOS too. But a friend is using a Pixel 3 and he doesn’t stop to telling me how good is Android and his Pixel and with the S7 works better than with iOS. But I have very strange friends
