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

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

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

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

                      @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.

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

                              So is not in the s9 all.

                                @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

                                    @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.

                                          @aeroild I also quite like the Suunto 9 bearing direction screen; and sometimes I do think that we need what you describe, however I don’t think it would work on the low power processer.

                                          I do think you can assist yourself by adding lots of waypoints/cross road/reference points etc can really help (also with off route notification coming sooner) as at least you get a warning ahead of any possible change in reoute, and perhaps don’t add them where you need to go straight.

                                          If they allowed our own description to show that would solve a lot of our problem as you could use a code or just say left turn, straight through, left fork etc and would effectively provide what you need without making any major changes.
