      @Brad_Olwin I agree with you totally on the autolap/manual lap thing! When I run intervals I use the manual lap function. But if this lap approx. coincides with the auto lap, the screen will display the autolap info and when I push the lower right button the manual lap is not registered! Very annoying.

      The “personal” HR zones are another annoyance. Or rather, the misleading advertising. According to the Suunto 7 specs. on the Suunto page, the watch supports personal HR zones, but that is not true. It supports generic HR zones based on the set max. HR. I wish they wouldn’t mislead people like this.

        Hmm…something doesn’t add up with the steps.

            I need to correct myself and apologize to Suunto! When using the Running Intervals sports mode, which is the intended one for intervals of course, there is no auto laps and using manual laps work very well.

              I had a wild reboot of the watch during a long trail today - I remember someone else mentioning this too. Not super annoying - the watch saves the activity before rebooting, but you still end up with 2 separated run, and the one saved just before reboot is missing data (like ascent), even if it’s all fine in QS.
              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is it worth me sharing the link of the two activities? Or it’s useless because that could be caused by so many things…?

                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Wrist activation while tracking paddling is a major issue. No matter how well charged my Suunto 7 is as the beginning of a say kayaking trip, it goes into essential mode after some 2 1/4 hours. This should ideally be baked into kayaking mode. The altimeter is pretty useless when sea-kayaking and can safely be switched off.

                  @marty313 yeah.
                  I mentioned this before, the only chance to survive is the following procedure :
                  Start activity
                  Switch to main screen
                  Enable cinema mode

                  Screen will stay off and you need a button press to check stars…

                    the only chance

                    is to use another watch. 👍

                    I want to see speed, distance and heart rate while paddling and not to stop paddling and press a button to get the information.

                    It was the main reason for me to give away the S7.

                        For kayaking there should be the option to choose the displayed fields on the screen, because there is only half a second time to have a look at the screen during the movement of the arm.

                        Speed, stroke rate, heart rate and distance are needed information for me.

                        And shown permanently using the co-processor of the 3100 chip.

                              The best solution has the Ticwatch Pro 2020. Every kilometre there is an audio output with distance, speed, heart rate and cardio zone. No need to use the display or have a look on the screen during paddling.

                              I know that it is not possible with the S7 due to the missing speaker.

                              Just a view to other watches. 😊

                                No speaker… but you can use Bluetooth headphones, right?

                                  @pilleus for me whitewater kayaking I don’t need the stats on the way. And won’t hear any audio information either. It’s just about tracking the path and marking certain sections with a lap point (waypoint would be better).

                                          @marty313 :

                                          Do what I do - start the activity, then lock the app (always do that due to another watch that regularly paused itself when my wrist pressed the button), then click top left for menu, then pull down the notification shade and press the watch screen off (also known as cinema mode - picture of a watch). This switchs off the screen.

                                          Easy to see activity screen when you want by pressing the suunto app button.

                                            @pilleus :

                                            Use a custom profile - have done that for my SUP activity as the standard is very basic
                                            You will not be able to get stroke rate, as i don’t think that is an option yet (didn’t come up as one for Paddleboarding), but you can definitely get the others laid out how you want.

                                            Then easy to choose as will come up as one of your regulars.
