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 isnât. 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 isnât 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 isnât 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. Garminâs health features in Suuntoâs layout, Garmins complex training with Training Peaks training at top level (though that would be interesting as they arenât 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 appâŠ
But unfortunately until that comes its what works for you best at this point in time.

@jamie-bg I agree, thereâs 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

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

I ainât 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

Some day ago, I realised this layers over. Has anybody same problem?

@macdav NaĆĄtÄstĂ ne đ€š. Fortunately not đ€š.

@macdav This is showing that there is a screen underneath this one as the overlay is a settings screen. There is nothing wrong here that I see.

It shouldnât look like that. It looks pretty much like a burn-in.

Overlay of what over what? This below looks like a Solstice watchface.

@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.
Apple Watch Ultra (currently on my wrist)
Thinking about going back to Suunto 9 Peak -
@patrick-löffler probably not enough users so central limit theorem doesnât apply XD.
(Basically independent of distribution adding independent variables = amount of âfriendlyâ users approaches normal distribution for amount of variables -> infinity)
Iâve noticed it in smaller communities compared to larger ones. -
Unfortunately this is the state of wearable technologies in 2021

@steff Smartwarch wearable technology, you should add
With love from Google and Qualcomm.Garmin Enduro, COROS Vertix, and even Suunto 9 Peak beg to differ!

@patrick-löffler said in Suunto 7:
@isazi nightly SPO2 tracking,
You can do 24/7 SpO2 and see your Fenix 6 turn into Apple Watch
easy changing and syncing data over several watchesâŠ
Sadly, training load doesnât sync fully from watch to watch, only the summaries. So, if you train with one watch, then switch to another, there will be a break in your 7-day loads (and you still have to select a specific watch if you want to see it in the app). Neither does Body Battery sync between watches.
For practical purposes, multi device sync is still a work in progress.
