Suunto 7 Successor
-
@lexterm77 Funny, this is stuff I know very well…
-
It’s similar to other training plans. Majority under AoT, very little between AoT and LT, some Z4 and Z5 intervals. If you put percentage under zones you basically get same numbers 80/20. Part about throwing away watch I liked because watch can’t tell you anything if you never went to a lab. Also I liked how author said the truth about wisely choosing your parents and grandparents and that doing large volume of aerobic stuff at very young age and while growing up has epigenetic effect on how quickly can you adapt to training loads and what can you do.
What else, nose breathing or talk test is useless if you are not aerobically trained.When Killian Jornet noted if you train only 600h a year you can be good at short distances was funny.

The default map area it downloads is a 54km square centred on your location, so pretty wide
I was reading the thread and my right eye focused on that number: 54km.
I am unable to select an area greater than 42km. Why? -

I am unable to select an area greater than 42km. Why?That’s odd, mine defaults at 54km.
Where are you looking to get this?
I go into the following:
Open Suunto App with top right button
Scroll down to ‘Map Options’
Scroll down to ‘Offline Map’ (under this in grey text it says ‘Tap to define’)
This next screen shows my local map with a 54km square. Using the top and bottom buttons on the right hand side of the watch I can zoom in to a minimum of 3km to a maximum of 10,872km (HUGE!). The middle button confirms the selction.
You can also use the touchscreen to pan the map around as well as pinch to zoom in and out.Hopefully this works for you.

directly on the watch, probably that’s the reason

Yes, this is all done on the watch
-
@olymay believe or not, it does not work.

Very odd. In that case, I would suggest contacting Suunto Support.
One last thought…
Is your watch storage full? maybe it is limited on how much storage is left?
I have no music or third party apps installed, so have loads of free space. -

-
@g-q Are you able to share a screenshot? or a photo of the watch?

Just out of curiosity if you pinch to zoom out to say 20km and then you use the ± buttons are you able to restore your old default i.e. 54km?

@olymay not now, I’ll do this evening. thanks!

Would it be too much to hope for a Suunto 7 successor to come this year and be powered by one of these?
Please Suunto… This could easily be the WearOS champ!!
(although it would need to be priced more competitively than the S7 was at launch!) -
I had a look in the German Suunto online store. Almost all of the non titanium Suunto 7 versions are currently not available.
Maybe this is a hint that a successor is around the corner.
It was the same with Suunto 5 a few weeks ago. -

It was the same with Suunto 5 a few weeks ago.Maybe. Could also simply be that they are emptying stock due to low sales. Let’s be positive, while at the same time tempering expectations

Personally, I think it is a bit cheeky of Suunto to continue selling the Suunto 7 knowing it is running extremely outdated hardware and will receive no more updates (last update received April 2021!).
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a stunning watch and I love mine. I am really very happy with it and glad I bought it.
Bout would I recommend to someone that they spend £259 for regular or £329 for titanium version? Not a chance! Half that price and maybe, but only maybe.
Sadly the Suunto 7 was always overpriced and it seriously hurt it’s sales. I saw countless comments about how much people wanted to buy one but it was too expensive.
Most of us on this forum understand the quality of Suunto and the work they put into their devices, so can understand (to a point) the prices.
However WearOS is different and to break into that market a device needs to be priced competitively.Someone will buy a Suunto (or a Garmin, Coros, Polar, etc) with the expectation of it lasting 3, 4, 5, 6, years etc…
WearOS devices are more like phones and would be expected to last 2-3 years (maybe 4 at a push).If Suunto release a new S7 running cutting edge hardware, give it everything users have been asking for (sensor support, auto pause, more advanced modes, etc) AND launch at a sensible price, then it could easily take a big share of the WearOS market and provide a real boost to the Suunto brand. It would likely be a great introduction to the brand to many people (I had never used Suunto before my S7, and only vaguely knew of the brand as a company that made dive watches, purely because a friend has one) but now I love Suunto.
Get the devices out there, get brand awareness, and the money will flow.But then again, this is just my opinion and what do it know
-
@olymay but if suunto can’t both put in great hardware/quality materials/manufacturing in Finland and sell it at the price point of a regular wear os watch - I think there’s a reason why suunto watches cost this much.
But I agree with you that wear os watches date quicker, just don’t see the way around it.
