I think this will help Suunto. They have been losing the market share because others have pay from the wrist, music on your watch, and other smartwatch features. Unless you to an activity longer than a marathon or 100 mile bike ride you have more than enough battery life. Most don’t wear their watches to bed so just put it on the charger like you do your phone every night. I preordered mine and I am excited that Suunto finally added the extra features. I was actually disappointed in the 9 with bad OHR and no music on the wrist. I like to run without my phone and can’t wait to try out the 7. JMO
If you only need all of this, a Huawei Watch GT 2 might be enough - at a third of the price!

The spec is sweet indeed. Less than 11mm thick, 1.4" screen, less than 50g weight, 5ATM water-proofing…
There’s a reason it’s so cheaper though:
- Didn’t they go with their custom OS on GT2? While the watch has gotten a great battery life as a result, the app situation must be even more pathetic than Wear OS
- S7 links to Suunto app and on, to infinity and beyond
- Only two buttons?
- With US being after Huawei, all bets are off. They will remain in business, sure… But their exposure to consumer segment in Western countries might nosedive, not to mention the watch is useless without a companion app. And if Google can pull Android from under Huawei, who’s to say they won’t remove Huawei apps from the stores?

I did another test today , with the RID software and Airplane mode on (no connection to wifi/BT)
Screen on and all others on.
-
I think above you see that in 80m I only checked the watch 33 times.
Currently the S7 has the screen on but the data are not updating in realtime. It will later. If that is the case, then the tilt to wake wont be needed saving some extra juice from what I understand (or not but at least should be at the same level)
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos So, your battery went down 13% for that 80 minute run? And the projected battery/remaining time is about 10 hours?
-
@NickK yes correct. I typically get this value (with music controlls / BT on) (I listen a lot to music) around 6.6h - 9h. today I tested Airplane mode on.
-
To mention: I didn’t fiddle with maps etc. So this was used like a normal running watch lets say. No yadi yada etc. I wanted somehow to see how it would last if I just did what I do on the s9

This is a scenario that Ray (rainmaker) - and others - should definitely cover in his/their in-depth reviews!
-
@Shrek3k yup.
Also I am eager to see the low powe realtime view on the maps. If you have seen Google maps how it does it, turns the screen black and writes “old” style with B&W and little details.
I’d love to see that. Honestry I am not a color’s person so much, even if they fascinate others.

Just ordered a 7 off of Amazon, now the long one week wait for it to be delivered!

even my geek side has succumbed to the dark side of suunto
. Let’s see how good will be this smartwatch -
If it starts shipping within this/next week, the first in depth reviews should also be coming.
