Update time in Europe?

@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?

Egika · 22 Apr 2021, 08:53

@olymay let me ask another question (I just want to understand the use case): If you have this Withings-tool - and it’s data is editable - why use the S7 for this at all?

HA HA! You’re probably not the only one, it has gone a little off-piste

I was just asking for the ability to be able to edit sleep start and stop times, for the odd occasion the watch gets it wrong, but maybe I should add this as a feature request somewhere?

Fair question.

Becasue there is no way to import the data from the Withings app to the Suunto App. I would very uch like to have all of my data in the one place.

Also, once the pandemic is over and we are able to travel again, the Suunto 7 will go with me whereas the Withings has to stay under my mattress plugged into power.

If the Suunto proves itself as a good enough sleep tracker (I’m going to compare them side my side over a few weeks) then I will sell the Withings as it will no longer be needed.

What is it not about ?

Would probably be better off as its own topic

Ok I get it, it is about withings-tool.

No, it’s about the sleep tracking in the new S7 update. I was asking for the ability to edit it, as I can in the Withings Healthmate app. I was only mentioning Withings as a comparison.

I’ll move move this to another topic to avoid any further confusion

The other thing that needs to be added is a notification every time it thinks you have slept, and that you are now awake, so that if it records you having a nap on the couch (while you were actually watching tv) you can confirm or say no, in which case it wouldn’t record it as sleep. This would get around a lot of these issues.
Would also be useful it didn’t always need to go into sleep tile to confirm are awake, but rather get a reminder/notification querying if awake - confirm there or take to sleep section.

Been speaking with some who do shift work, and the S7 is picking up their sleep/nap time, but not recording it as sleep as already had one previously. The notifcation/confirmation of whether sleep or not would solve this issue, and at that time you could confirm start and finish times/or adjust if required.

@jamie-bg That would work REALLY well

A Former User · 22 Apr 2021, 12:03

@olymay except when that notification will wake you up, asking if you are awake.

Jamie BG · 22 Apr 2021, 13:43

@andrasveres - hence the DND. but so far watch sleep tracking has really been spot of for me in regards to start, stop and duration asleep (matching my CPAP machine fairly closely).

good morning!
I have a very old update and there is no way to skip the new update any ideas? Thank you

Aleksander H · 25 Apr 2021, 08:21

@alberto-cabrera-cuevas is the watch new? In that case, check out this post about staged rollouts by Dimitrios,
https://forum.suunto.com/topic/6327/suunto-7-not-updating/15?_=1619338559464

Basically, the old update from before April 19th is probably no longer being distributed. You therefore need to wait for the latest update to be made available to you (it doesn’t go out to everyone at once). Might take a few more days.

isazi · 25 Apr 2021, 08:48

@aleksander-h and I would add, don’t reset your watch over and over to get the update. Use it for a few days, charge it where it gets wifi, and you should get the update soon.

Alberto Cabrera Cuevas · 25 Apr 2021, 08:50

Thanks to both of you so I will wait a few more days!

Hey Alberto,

did you try to press many times (20 seconds) on the screen “system updated”? that should force the download.

you can see that screen on system -> Info -> System updates
