Who is right?

Brad_Olwin

@jorgefd78 you can set the length of display independently for the tile and the widget. There is something about reference too, I cannot remember.

JorgeFD

@Mi_chael s9 for sure. Some web resources give 1015 for my position at the moment

Brad_Olwin

@jorgefd78 There is an option to auto-reference in settings

JorgeFD

@Brad_Olwin auto-reference gets the data from internet?

Egika

Auto reference gets it from GPS position afaik.
Try switching it to sea level referenced in options!

Mi_chael

@Egika
GPS position?
For altitude not for hpa?

Egika

@Mi_chael yes, for altitude reference

@Metalmi - agreed. Whilst the wrist heart rate is good for cardio activities - weights and related activities are very poor. Appreciate this will hit the battery. At this stage I use Sporttracker to pair an external HR monitor for where i know HR measurement will be poor and that syncs to Suunto app. Clearly this does not show in the S7 tiles.

Would also be good to see a few more watch faces, sleep, body battery and V02. Always on low power display during running and low power location tracking are good but the other features are core to me. I hope we see them appear soon.

I posted my list in other thread:

autopause
ability to setup heart rate or pace alarms
ability to setup a time or distance targets
in the current activity (running, etc) by default the current time is showing in top, but is small size, a lot of people use glasses, please, increas this font.
add the heart rate in %
ability to add more than five tiles

Bonus: if the S7 has a barometer, why not a storm alarm?

I know I know a lot things, but dreaming is free

You can already buy all of these features if they are core to you.
They are already built in Suunto 5 and Suunto 9!
I don’t know if it makes sense to wait for stuff to appear on S7 - it might not happen

@jorgefd78 I agree about the navigations features.

Without Stryd support (natively) I don’t use the watch when I run. I know battery would drain faster but I wouldn’t mind.

Bulkan

@Egika if the s9 would had notifications without sound I could wear the s9 in the office

So is not in the s9 all.

Brad_Olwin

@Bulkan It does, there is vibration. I miss the vibration while running sometimes but it always wakes me up as an alarm and when in the office it is quite noticeable. I do not have my sound turned on at all for the S9

there are quite a lot low power watch faces out there in the play store

ey! do you have a list or something of watch faces tha full support low power as suunto’s watchsfaces do?

Egika

@jorgefd78 search for “3100 watch faces” in the play store.
That already has some that support the low power standby screen.

I testet the navigation from the last update on a new route today. I really like the map based navigation! This being a new route with lot’s of intersections, I had to tilt the watch to wake the navigation screen a lot. The screen takes a sec to wake and the navigation another sec to update. Many times I just needed to check that the route still was following the trail I was on and not turning to another trail in an intersection. For checking this, a simple navigation screen without map data like the one on the Suunto 5 or 9 would do. So to make a long story short, my wish for a future update is a simple navigation screen running on the battery saving co-processor. And maybe a touch of the screen could wake up the navigation with full mapdata.

The grass is always greener. Read on down a bit from there for a hybrid view.
