      But I miss a good review using Android vs using iOS. I don’t think the differences are going to be huge.

      TLDR: The Suunto 7 on Android is better, and more than just marginally so. That being said, Wear OS smartwatch on an iPhone is still superior to pretty much any other alternative, with exception of Apple Watch.

      Search my posts around mid to late January, about the state of Wear OS. I used an older watch from 2017, but the review still applies. The only differences you have iPhone vs Android:

      • You don’t get full notifications, email bodies, or custom notification actions like delete, complete, etc. (at least that was the case in the past), so you are limited in terms of what you can do with notifications without pulling your phone
      • You can’t reply to text (SMS) messages on your watch. You can use other messenger apps though
      • You can’t answer your phone on your watch or listen to the voicemail… This is a bit of a moot point as S7 lacks appropriate speaker, though some of it is still possible when headphones are connected
      • Every now and then you will experience connectivity issues since the watch connectivity is provided by Wear OS app on the iPhone, not built into the OS. This is especially true if you leave your phone behind on your desk and walk away for a while. Bluetooth disconnects (watch to phone), data disconnects (when data is sent over Bluetooth).
      • Wear OS has less features and configuration options on iPhone, due to iOS limitations around calendar access, notifications, etc
      • Some older pre Wear OS 2.0 apps that have companion watch apps and require to be installed for them to work, well… You can’t install those
      • Apps that require to open a companion app/web view on a phone is a pain in the ass (try setting up Pandora premium subscription) as this “open on the phone” doesn’t work well with a screen lock
      • There’s no support for smart lock, i.e. if the watch is on my hand and it’s connected to the phone, unlock the phone automatically
      • Battery life is anecdotally somewhat worse off on iPhone vs Android, though I don’t think the difference is material

                          one moth since launched and Suunto is still out of stock en black colors. Maybe they are waiting for a new firmware with the most critical complaints to release the watch again?

                            @jorgefd78 Accept the reality. The Suunto 7 is what is now. Great watch for daily life from couch to work to gym to exercise outdoor daily.

                                And with the best hardware out there among the other WearOS watches. GPS, OHR, barometer, fused alti are outstanding and give you a precise tracking of your activities.

                                I can compare it with a Skagen Falster 3 and a Fossil Sport. No way to reach the S7. Never! ✌️

                                    @jorgefd78 its actually a problem that demand is high and Suunto due to this cannot sell.

                                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos This is one of the better ways to have a problem as far as Suunto is concerned I’d imagine.

                                          @Bulkan @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I did not think in coronavirus for the stock because I thought that S7 was made in Finland
