is a system update coming ?

@jantikainen auto pause, customizable auto laps and customizable HR zones would be the big ones for me.
Me too.
Also customisation of notifications for WayPoints (Current overkill of 3 per Waypoint versus One alert at the Waypoint).
I think there’s quite a lot of UX improvements that could be made in the SA. Teeny fonts on the map screen that don’t react to ‘font size’, plus a more useful low-power alternative for the map screen.
plus Structured workouts, on-watch Race Time Predictor (one of the First Beat metrics).
I’d also really like to see a grade adjusted pace metric / wrist based power (like Coros have, which seems ‘reasonably’ close to an actual Stryd pod when I tested)!
But - pretty happy with how things are - would PREFER no functions but work on optimisations to increase battery even more!

Hi,
Version 4.43 of SA was supposed to arrive last week but it is behind schedule. We should arrive after the holidays at the beginning of September.The S7 update is expected to arrive at the end of September
Wait, proud, & see !

To be frank, I think what you are asking for will be implemented on the S9 series but not the S7. in fact, the race time predictor and grade adjusted pace are already available as SuuntoPlus. I don’t want to be negative but I’d be
Surprised to see these on theS7.Glad you like the watch. I wear my S7 a lot during the week and the S9P on the weekends.

Yeah they’re just “nice to haves”.
The S7 is a watch I can navigate an ultra with, and then buy a drink with it afterwards, then the next weekend get into a football match using a QR code stored in Google Keep - I don’t really need much else to be honest!

I use my S7 for almost everything now. Only use my SSU when I want to go several days without having to bring a power bank (camping in the woods for a few days for instance).
-
Hi, I have small tip for you. My watch can survive more than 3 days. I just switch it into airplane mode and I can spend weekend including whole Friday and two 40 minutes runs.
-
I always forget to stop and start my watch when I am doing a long running then I usually see it is stopped after a few km afterwards I can feel my race didn´t have sense at all hehe. That feature would be very appreciated but I am using it every single days (7 days per week with double workouts thirst per week) doing fast intervals and have to check the watch when I am reaching the distance is very very hard when I am tired… It works fine … but the possibility to create a custom workouts from our suunto 7 (as garmin has with most of the models) or even define the auto lap could get us happy guys.

Just getting the ‘hype train’ moving again
(just for a bit of fun and chat, this is in no way intended to pester the developers).The last S7 update was in April and we are now in September. Do we think an update is coming?
As @Nigel-Taylor-0 mentioned in a previous comment, the past updates for the S7 were…
2020 - end of January - early April - late June - early September
2021 - mid Jan - mid April - …
Fingers crossed

@olymay I’m with you. I’m really hoping to get a way to record naps and multiple sleep sessions pr day. I unfortunately often sleep for example from 21-01 and again from 04-07. It kinda works sometimesif I manage not to touch the watch in the awake period. Another thing I’d love would be strength training auto recognition, like Google Fit had.
-
If an update is coming, please let it be an option for sensor support.
The wrist-hr is most of the time useless when cycling… -
@jantikainen I am looking for something like this:
https://www.qooapps.com/sporty-go-connect.html“You want to use the HR from your samsung watch or live data from “Sporty Go!” on your phone, spinbike or treadmill?”
It could be very handy to avoid use a hr band when we are going cycling… but still not available for android.

@cristian-0 there are a few apps available for this already. e.g. this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lukas.the.coder.heartforbluetooth&hl=en_US

@cristian-0 New software version available. Nothing new, just regular security update. link text

System update - PXDZ.210716.001.A1
Staged release starting from September 15, 2021
Regular security update.
The following versions of Suunto components are included in the update:
Suunto Wear app – 2.151.0
Suunto Wear services – 2.112.0
Suunto Watch faces – 1.13.0
MDSP – 2.112.0
System update – PXDZ.210326.002.A2The following versions of Suunto components are included in the update:
Suunto Wear app – 2.150.0
Suunto Wear services – 2.112.0
Suunto Watch faces – 1.13.0
MDSP – 2.112.0Hopefully behind that small change on the suunto wear app (2.151.0 - 2.150.0) it could still be plenty of new features. I haven’t been able to download it yet but my dreams are there hehehe.
-
@cristian-0 I’ve just updated but I do not see any news in the Suunto Wear app… but no news are always good news
-
@walker same here. Can’t se any changes to the Suunto app.
Security patch is now at Juli 2021.
-
As I would normally expect this sort of update (security patch etc) to be part of any larger update, does this mean that a larger update is not coming any time soon?
-
@olymay last update with new features was in April. Maybe the way Google is handling Wear 3.0 has made Suunto rethink wether or not the S7 makes sense for them.
-
@aleksander-h I really hope not.
Also, Suunto don’t seem like the type of company to abandon all of the time and money invested into the S7 quite so easily. I would have thought (hoped?) that WearOS 3 would have excited them with what it can achieve.
The Suunto 7 was my first Suunto and I bought it because it was a WearOS device with Suunto’s excellent fitness smarts onboard. For me, it is more important to have the WearOS part, as I want a full smartwatch that can also do fitness, not a fitness watch that does a few phone notifications.
I love being part of the Suunto family and really don’t want it to endPlease Suunto, don’t abandon the 7.
-
@olymay Same goes for me. Suunto is really on a great track with the last updates. Unfortunately for Suunto my expectation is that the trend continues.
„Only“ a security patch as an update is behind what they gave us with the last updates. Please Suunto give us some cool new features/improvements. I know we just recently received Spotify offline music. But I am more interested in the Suunto app itself.
