      @Egika if I don’t allow Fit to use GPS (in the initial setup), GPS is enabled nevertheless. Therefore I disabled it in the app settings. No permission, no battery usage. 😊

        @pilleus Thanks, and out of curiosity: how do you get the information, if an app uses GPS?

          Just took my S7 for a run with Jabra elite 65t.
          Had downloaded some offline music to google music.
          What a horrible experience! The sound was cutting off all the time. Is there anything I can do about it or do I just have try with some other earbuds?

            @JANTIKAINEN Try other earbuds and other application (For example, NavMusic/NavExplorer or Wear Casts).

              @JANTIKAINEN check on which side the antenna is on the earplugs, and match it with the watch.

                @pavelsamokha Funny thing is that I have no issues at home even when I’m running and jumping around.
                The cutting off started when I got outside.

                  @JANTIKAINEN may be also environmental. There was a particular intersection in downtown Singapore where my headphones would disconnect from my phone. Almost every morning.

                    @JANTIKAINEN You may be having trouble outside because there is nothing for the Bluetooth signal to bounce off of. Inside, there are walls everywhere to reflect the signal. You might have better luck if you wear your watch on the other wrist outside.

                        Is it somehow possible to completely turn off the screen when tracking sports in the Suunto app? Some elements are always on, and I guess therefore also consuming some battery power…

                          Now I think I found a bug while trying as follows:

                          Start a running activity on the watch
                          Press left button to go to home screen
                          Then swipe down
                          Select cinema mode to leave screen off

                          Firstly when turning my wrist the display came on anyway.
                          From now on the whole touch screen stopped working. Completely. Only buttons functional.
                          Had to hard reboot my watch.

                          Can anyone Co firm this behavior and where to report to?

                            @Egika I remember trying this when doing an 18k run and was starting to get low on bat. (had only 29% when I started the run and finnished with 2%)
                            But anyway I turned off my screen when I had 3k’s to go and remember also that when I turned my wrist the display went back on.
                            Touch screen was fully functional though.

                              @Egika I will test today and if I can replicate it, I can report it to Suunto as a bug.

                                Weather radar mapped to the lower button with Wearable widgets and Windy. Have fun!

                                It’s more precise and actual than any other radar in our area. And you can see the direction and movement of the rain area. 👍

                                This is the output of the windy applet on the watch: test.mp4

                                This is the initial (actual) screen of the windy applet when opening:

                                  @pilleus I have that app on iOS and love it. It will not work on the S7 unless you have an Android phone.

                                      How do you sync to Suunto App?
                                      When using Syncmytracks, I found all altitude data missing. It seems to use the Sports Tracker api that is not working well here…

                                        @Egika I have connected adidas running to suunto app (go to settings, connect to other services). All data - altitude, GPS, HR etc transfers with no issues. But to have it synced to Google Fit you have to open adidas app. It does not sync until then.

                                          Adidas Running (aka Runtastic) only offers to connect to Apple health, Garmin, Polar ans Myfitnesspal… 🤔
