Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware
-
@jamie-bg thanks a lot man! I wonder how many cool apps i’m missing out on for WearOS. When I search on google best wearOS apps the same 20 show up and those 20 are like the only apps I see on the play store in my watch.
You would think people like this Malcom guy would be posting it on XDA but there’s like nothing on there but Spotify Lite (offline music) and an Alti/Baro app.
Anyways, sorry for sidetracking the thread guys haha -
@eurohiker - worth joining the wear os reddit. Guys like Malcom are pretty active on it.
Wear os reddit also has a sticky of suggest apps.Also don’t forget the sticky threads here in the suunto forum, and there is also a thread for suggested apps.
All good starting points, and if looking for something feel free to post and or PM me.

Bummer even on the new watch face they are still using the leading zero in 12 hour format which is incorrect. it should simply be 8:43 pm for example. All the countries that use 24 hour time don’t seem to understand it does nothing on 12 hour but be a useless placeholder.

They are aware. They just watched 8 seasons of Jack Bauer adventures and assume it’s how Americans roll.
-
@fenr1r Haha nice. I mean watches, clocks, microwaves and literally anything you can put time on in the USA has no zero. I don’t actually think they get it yet or it would be fixed. I even made a thread with pictures of a heatmap type watchface with pictures and I heard crickets lol.
-
@jeremiah-dudek - a lot in Europe do, as often get an option for 24hr or am/pm, that way always built in with leading zero, as used if 24hr.
Plenty of other options out there that offer to include/exclude leading zero.Personally would love to see the suunto watch faces updated with these additional cusotmization options, like that, and the ability to change hand colours etc.

@jamie-bg changing the text color would be greatly appreciated, especially in tilt to wake low power mode. It’s way to bright at night for me. Miss my old orange text color at night.

I love the sleep tracking, it’s spot on to my sleeping. Even when I say I’m awake and fall back to sleep it just knows. Awesome functionality.
Since the sleep seems pretty accurate for me, can we get sleep cycle based wake up smart alarms? That would be awesome.

e a wifi hotspot.
I have tested a few devices doing tethering and I only got it using a w10 laptop. My suunto 7 detect I am using a roaming internet source.

Auto-pause in the Suunto app

after a few weeks w/ my S7 I’m really satisfied. that said I would like to see a barometric trend graph tile as in my A3P (automatic profile with the possibility to manually correct altitude and/or by using gps). That’s all.

You can use an app called Baro Trend that will do this. Hope this helps

Thanks @olymay,
I know that app but I would prefer the same algo used e.g. in the Suunto Core to adjust pressure/altitude
“When the device is moving 5 meters in altitude within 3 minutes, the ALTIMETER
profile is activated. When the device does not move in altitude for 12 minutes,
the BAROMETER profile is activated” -
@walker Agreed, a native app would be better, especially with how Suunto apply it. But in the meantime this is probably the closest we can get
-
@olymay
I’ve tried the Alti/Barometer app [again available on XDA v. 1.16] mentioned in some other thread and I’m quite happy with it… but as said I’d prefer a Suunto implementation -
@walker
I think really that will not be any updates for suunto 7.
I hope at least in a successor with new chip and upgrade -
I am really bummed that the sport customization is so limited, along with the lack of interval support. I had an S9 and loved being able to really customize the sports modes, pace alerts, interval alarms, etc. Also, why no vo2max estimates?

I agree that they should work on sleep tracking. Because it doesn’t track more than one sleep during the period of 24h which is pretty shame for watch like that. Even if you sleep more than 2 hpurs it does not track nothing. So literally it has been beaten in tracking by wristband Honor 6 for 50 euros which is also shame for company like Suunto is.

@zoran-z - disagree with you. One sleep session and any naps should be reflected in resources i.e. a recharge of resources, which is the intent of a nap.
PS - naps really shouldn’t be 2hrs long either. You start to enter deep sleep cycles, and thus waking from those can cause more harm than benefit. Studies have shown that 10min naps provide the best boost and extending past 30mins can produce sleep inertia, and generally aren’t as effective as the 10min naps on alertness and energy retrieval.
So based on this I think that Firstbeat have it completely correct in that you don’t include naps in sleep, you include them in resources (body battery for Garmin).If the should improve anything its the reporting detail of your sleep. I would like to see it more along the lines of what the Garmin Venu 2 / FR745/ FR945 and Fenix 6 lines provide along with breakdown of sleep score, deep & REM percentages etc and it would be assume if they also include within that trend detail along the lines of what HabitDash (https://habitdash.com/overview/) provide. Now that would be stepping up to the next level.

Do you think that the S7 has an update or development planned or is a discontinued product?
