@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thank you! I haven’t used Google Fit in a long-long while. Was pleasantly surprised by the redesigned version. I’d say it’s a combined and streamlined version of iOS Health and Activity apps. It doesn’t try to be everything for everyone, i.e. it’s not health vault with all stats under the sun. But it does have the basics people typically want to track and it does a lot of smart things presentation wise.
I think on Android where Fit is native, S7 could be a hit.
iPhone is a different story. On one hand, WearOS there is a second class citizen due to iOS limitations and Google’s lack of focus. On the other, S7 would probably have to write to Health too, because that’s where iPhone people would expect to find the data. There’s Google Fit version for iOS, but I doubt many people know it exists.

@jorgefd78 don’t live in the past, live in the present.

I agree with you. I understand people always want what they desire but this watch is pointing to a new niche for Suunto.
For me the lack of tracking in Suunto app and the lack of support of Stryd push me away from buying it.
But Suunto is delivering and amazing screen, hardware and it fits for non ultra athletes.
I could be rich if I’ve received 1 dollar each time since the launch of the first (disaster) Apple Watch when people said “If Suunto would launched a smart watch with their hardware…” Well here it is the first version. I love it.

@NickK if you use Google fit you will be pleased a lot. SA syncs to Google Fit (the watch SA) and o, (…)
For the Apple health kit etc people I have no clue…
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos where and how do I have to go, write, send a video, climb, downhill or whatever to get to suunto use Applehealthkit in order to track the sleep time?
I will do it.

@dulko79 A friend of mine just purchased the Amazfit Stratos 3. He said it was pretty good. User interface was alot better than he expected.

@azeanic It is refreshing to see a properly rendered pace graph and a cadence graph that shows steps per minute rather than RPM. It is also refreshing to see HR graph which isn’t in zone 5 most of the time like most of HR graphs recorded with optical sensor on S9B.
-
@silentvoyager we dont do steps per minute in Suunto. Cadence is from one foot measured anyways and all services and normal unit is RPM not steps. All files and protocols use RPM (Revolutions per minute)
I know you want else but thanks

Absolutely no issue for me, as I am really able to double the number in order to compare it with other statistics and this number is one that does not concern me that much … nevertheless even Stryd uses steps per minute, obviously using one sensor / pod on one foot …
But as the values of spm from Stryd differ from the (even when doubled) rpm I prefer to rely on Stryd. -
I wonder if it is possible Suunto 7 to be charged without to be taken off the hand.

@danisius
like in crank 2, high voltage

Looking at the rendering of the watch back and its charging/data port, it might be possible based on charging cable design. That being said, you can forget OHR and with no external sensors, charging it on the go means game over for capturing heart rate.

Would love to know if you can view barometer and altitude widgets like you can on the 9 Baro or Fenix series.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos No OHR I’d imagine with a cradle like this?
See! That’s why we need heart rate sensors! Before you know, @Brad_Olwin will be running ultras in S7, with 5000 mAh strapped to his forearm. Good ol’ days are back! Now with full color maps and music in tow. I love progress!

The good news is that it’s WearOS. You can just listen to environmental sensor events and pluck your data. Drop it on one of those fancy tiles (aka widgets in Garmin’s parlance) and there you go!
I cried my little greedy tears, pre-ordered S7 yesterday. Might as well do it myself if Suunto doesn’t rise to the occasion.
-
@Storz if there is one out there yes. Did not search a lot tbh. I had one watchface made in the past for my moto360sport (2015) and seems to be working. Showing altitude / pressure etc.
Now would be great if there were widgets for those but I could not find any
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos As in it shows a snapshot of the baro/alti or a graph of the change over time?
-
@Storz my watchface, only current. IT aint that good one honestly. Was my first play with coding on Android.

Thanks , so it might work for me as i spent most of the day at the office desk.

@danisius depends on what you seek but despite hand or not the charger sits better on a desk than the current spartans / S series do.
However, the magnet is less strong.
