      Did you use poles during your excursion?
      I ask why, for what has been my experience, their use leads to a much greater activation of the screen compared to simple walking or running.

        @Saketo-Nemo maybe we should turn off all the gestures for such activity?

            @Saketo-Nemo I do but watch is on my left hand and pole is on my right hand … so it should not matter?
            @vr2udt Even if you turn off gestures, it still on when you are in sport mode.

              nope. One pole, on the other side of the wristh, i think does not count

                I don’t do long activities with the S7, but hiking I should get around 6h at the moment (in recent weeks I have seen 25% consumption for a 1:30 walk in the park).

                  I ran for 90 min this morning and S7 battery went from 98% to 83%. Pretty good I think. Tilt to wake was on. Trail running activity.

                    I factory reset the watch, and on airplane mode a 4.5 hours hike took battery from 90% to 28%, better than before but still not good …

                      @Kai-Liu I routinely get 6-6.5h trail running and would probably get longer hiking. In March with the firmware you are running my watch went 7h with 18% battery left when I stopped my race. If you turn on Airplane mode and have tilt to wake, do not use maps a lot, some is ok and do not turn screen on all the time you should get 7-8h battery life during exercise. Longer for biking and likely longer for hiking to as HR is usually lower. If you are routinely doing 8h-12h activities this watch is not likely a good choice. However, I know that Suunto will be improving the watch, I just don’t know how long or exactly what improvements will come, and I couldn’t say if I did know.

                        @Brad_Olwin battery consumption is depending on actual HR?
                        Thats interesting. Does it mean the sampling rate of the integrated LEDs is adjusted according to actual measurement?

                          @Egika I don’t know and may have misspoken but I do know that biking and walking I get better battery life than trail running.

                            Perhaps the solution is to be sought more in the use of the GPS sensor. Bike and walking normally take place more in open spaces, not in wooded or mountain areas in general with greater problems of coupling the satellites. However we all look forward to the next update of the improvements in this regard.

                                @luca760101 My runs are typically not wooded, I live in Colorado and run above tree line most of the time.

                                    @JANTIKAINEN right. Maybe it’s some FB moron driving the crowd crazy when he just got a new watch that now got the first update

                                      just asking, would be possible to prolong battery life only by software updates?

                                          @Brad_Olwin I usually don’t have it in airplane mode. I’ll have a test later and see if battery is better.

                                            @isazi 15% per hour hiking, seems similar to when not in airplane mode. Should get 6/7 hours this way.
