Suunto 7

@Armin-S said in Suunto 7:

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?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@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!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@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.

If it starts shipping within this/next week, the first in depth reviews should also be coming.

Would love to know if you can view barometer and altitude widgets like you can on the 9 Baro or Fenix series.

There is an app you can access at anytime and it will even chart altitude changes, it comes with a compass app too.

Cool! You live at a pretty high elevation
