@aleksander-h after two restarts of the watch and the phone the watch faces are back.

A quick update on my initial battery life experience following the update.

At 1300hrs yesterday I took my S7 off the charger at 100% battery and I have not removed it since.

At 1300hrs today, the battery said 47% left.

So 53% use in 24hrs with constant HR and sleep tracking for 8hrs, that is seriously impressive in a WearOS device!! Suunto have really worked some magic on this!

I have 24/7 HR and sleep tracking both activated.
During the day I use my watch to read notifications (I get quite a lot), control some music, and reply to the odd message.
I did not track any activities or use GPS.

I have no doubt I can tweak some setting or usage to get 48 hrs out of it if I want to, but I am confident that a quick charge whilst I shower each day will be more than enough to keep it topped up, even with GPS usage.

Well done Suunto!!

@olymay my experience is much the same. It seems as though there is barely any hit to battery life!

@olymay I agree, Suunto’s been doing brilliant work with the updates.
I’m so happy that I switched back to S7. Only thing I’m missing anymore is the option to use external sensors with Suunto App but still very happy with the watch at the moment.

@olymay
getting the same as you when I have the same settings, and running AOD on, with touch to wake on, tilt to wake off.
Slightly better when running suunto face with AOD off, touch to wake on, power tilt on.

@olymay Good post!. Otherwise we always write to complain or for bugs

I got similar results, using not all the time the notifications 49 hs+ and 8% of battery remaining (HR24/7+Sleep Tracking 2 nights). Time to recharge and test on activities today

I really appreciate this last update, is like a new S7 I know that some things still missing (like my always suggested vertical speed units in m/s!!!), but if they can put great quality updates, like this, more frequently would be amazing.

Thank you Suunto Staff!

It’s not unormal. Rollout won’t reach 100% until tomorrow (at least according to DCRainmaker).

So after three days of sleep tracking data, I have one big request to make, that in my opinion is absolutely crucial.

Please give us the ability to edit the sleep data.

Nights one and two were pretty much spot on, but last night the S7 recorded that I went to sleep at 2233, but I did nor get into bed until 2355 and was likely not asleep until 15-20 minutes later.
The time of wake up is correct at 0744.

It gives a duration of 07hrs 56mins which is still too long, but closer to what it should be.

There is no chart of the sleep stages, but there is one when viewing this sleep data in Google Fit.
This chart shows a very brief moment of sleep at the very start, followed by a long period of awake, before the period of sleep starts proper.

I can only conclude that the S7 registered my sitting on the sofa as asleep, before then thinking I was awake in bed for over 90 minutes before getting back to sleep.

Obviously, this is going to skew my data and trends quite a bit.

If I could edit the start of my sleep period to roughly the time I fell asleep (a short time after getting into bed for example) then the data would be correct and the trend would be more accurate.

No sleep tracker is perfect, even my Withings Sleep Analyser has the odd day where it gets things very wrong, but it it does allow me to modify the start and end times, thus allowing the data to be useful.

Please, please, please, please allow us to edit the sleep data. Please.

@olymay I have two questions:

1. why is this data so crucial for you? What actions are you deriving from this data (especially you stated in another post your personal feeling of your sleep quality was way different that the measurement)?

2. have you tried specifying your “standard bed time” in the watch? If you set it closer to your actual time going to bed it should get more accurate information.

Technically there should be no problem to just crop the sleep time manually - just what would one get from that?

[Aleksander H]

@olymay Ability to adjust start and stop times would be very welcome. I used sleep tracking on my SSU for a total of 3 nights before turning it off because it would always give me incorrect time for when I fell asleep. As a result, the stats were completely useless. Fortunately my S7 has done a good job so far, but it would be nice to be able to correct if it does happen.

I would get consistency, which I feel is FAR more important than accuracy when it comes to metrics like this.
I wan to know that on average, I am getting X hours of sleep each night, and to see if it is trending up or down. Poor sleep can be caused by any number of things (stress, weather, diet, illness, etc) and I have kept an eye on this for years.
Since working from home due to the pandemic my sleep quality and length has improved dramatically and I can clearly see this in the data I have gathered from my Withings Sleep Analyser. It has been so clear I have able to show it to my employer and they are agreeing to allow me to continue to work from home on a more regular basis once this is all over.

2. have you tried specifying your “standard bed time” in the watch? If you set it closer to your actual time going to bed it should get more accurate information.

Yes, this was done right at the very start. I specified 0000 (midnight) as my usual sleep time, which is why the watching thinking I was in bed asleep at 2233 is crazy (especially as I was interacting with the watch after this time!)

Technically there should be no problem to just crop the sleep time manually - just what would one get from that?

@olymay understood.
Now if you would need to manually edit your sleep times, then the watch function is of no real use for you anyway. How about putting the data in an Excel sheet?

I’ve been using sleep trackers for years and have only needed to update the data one every couple of weeks or so (obviously it is not that regular, but this is an example to show it is not that common).

I could manually track my sleep and record it in a spreadsheet, although I am not sure I could track the stages of my sleep very accurately whilst I am asleep, or the tiny periods where I wake up in the night.

Actually, while I’m tracking my sleep manually on a spreadsheet, I could count my steps taken each day and write them down. I could also keep my fingers to my neck and count my heart rate too.

Apologies for being so flippant, but my point is that this technology exists to automatically track our health and wellbeing and I for one love it and get a benefit from it.
But as with all technology, it is not perfect, so the ability to correct it on the few occasions when it gets it wrong is all I am asking for.

@olymay ok, if it works most of the time then I understand.

Yeah, most of the times these work really well, but any technology has it’s wobbles and need a helping hand every now and then.

My Withings Sleep Analyser (the best sleep tracker i have used to date) had a wobble maybe 1 in 15 nights ish. Not often, and I would only check it once a week. But I had the ability to edit it, so it wasn’t a problem.

I’ve only tracked three nights with the Suunto 7 so far, the first two were bang on, within a couple of minutes of the Withings and the times I expected. However last night was a proper wobble that really needs editing.

As long as it’s less than one wobble a week then I can live with that.

Guys I’m lost in this topic, what is about?
