      @steff correct. No need to stick to Suunto if the grass on the other side of the river is greener for you 🙂

        @brad_olwin Hi, This morning, after updating Google Play services in the watch, a GPS icon appeared that had not appeared before. Does anyone have it too? Thanks. screen.png

          I am in a similar but different boat.
          I have bought a Fenix 6x Pro (solar) because I wanted what I had as close to possible as the S7 but with better normal battery life.
          From what I have seen there doesn’t seem to be a major difference in terms of tracks, distance, altitude etc - Fairly close, but then so far max distance i have used is 4km but done quite a few of those and all fairly close to my S7 on same routes.

            @jamie-bg yes, unfortunately the perfect device does not exist.

            Before the S7 I always said that the perfect device for me would be a Fenix with amoled and touchscreen.
            S7 and Venu are the only ones which come close to this.

            I still think that S7, even with the current hardware has a lot of potential.

            Maybe a 5sec GPS FusedTrack with 8-10 hours of battery and enabled for all profiles will solve all my problems but I doubt that this is something which Suunto would ever consider.

            Until then, I think I will go to the other side of the river where the grass is greener, like @Egika said 🙂

              Hopefully you will not discover that cows are dead on the other side too. And water is poisonous 🤣

                @isazi if the water is poisonous, both sides of the river will have dead cows 🙂

                Depends on which side of the river has fewer dead cows 🙂

                    @isazi amazing how the grass always looks greener on the other side and even if it is, sometimes by the time you get there it isn’t. Sometimes it is though and worth the cost of the change.

                    Learnt that lesson in sailing dighies that just cause a side is favoured, if you get caught on the wrong side, it isn’t always worth changing side straight away, sometimes the initial cost of transferring is worse than continuing on, however in some occasions staying on the wrong side is even worse and you have to cut your losses… The ideal thing is being able to judge and pick the right moment (and or hope we never end up on the wrong side).

                    But my personal opinion in Suunto vs Garmin is there isn’t a better side - they both have their good and bad - it really comes down to what works for you now. Ideally would love a marriage of the two i.e. Garmin’s health features in Suunto’s layout, Garmins complex training with Training Peaks training at top level (though that would be interesting as they aren’t really the same from what I can make out) and the Fenix 6x Pro Solar with all its features (smart included) with the S9 Peaks screen, and ability to manage customization in the app…

                    But unfortunately until that comes its what works for you best at this point in time.

                      @jamie-bg I agree, there’s no one size fits all. As I said already, I owned all Garmin Fenix watches (excluding the original one), 6 included. I owned more Garmin devices, and used them for more years, than Suunto ones 🙂

                            @nigel-taylor-0 The icon disappears when turned off and on again. At least for me.

                              I ain’t doing that after the pain I had yesterday!

                              Did a reboot because of other issues and ended up wasting about an hour having to fully reset and reconfigure the Watch the way I like it 😞 (and an hour recharging)

                                      It shouldn’t look like that. It looks pretty much like a burn-in.

                                        @isazi That is interesting that you owned many Garmin devices. Thanks for sharing that. What made you move to Suunto?

                                          @patrick-löffler long story short, every new Fenix had more problems than the previous model, so after the Fenix 5 I bought an Instinct, GPS tracks were meh, the altimeter pretty bad, and one of the buttons broke. So while waiting for a replacement and having to move to a different continent for a while I bought a S9 baro. The ease of use and precision made me stay with Suunto after that.

                                            @isazi Thank you for your answer. Regarding features Garmin wins. E.g. fall detection, nightly SPO2 tracking, easy changing and syncing data over several watches… but the actual usage is somehow more pleasant and more motivating with Suunto. I am very surprised because I never had Suunto on my radar. I enjoy it a lot too. One point actually are also the people in the forum. Seems Suunto has a good crowd! And it seems there are some features in the making which could lead up to being closer to Garmin regarding features.
