@jorgefd78 Thanks for rubbing it in for those of us across the big pond. Unfortunately Amazon isn’t anywhere as speedy. Won’t see my S7 until Tuesday But then miracles do happen… Maybe Saturday or Sunday?

Ha same here, my pre-order from Amazon says Tuesday as well.

@Storz Life hack: check again. If you place order now, at least for tri-state orders the delivery is pushed up to this Sunday. I cancelled my original pre-order and placed from three weeks back and placed a new one. Who knows? I might even get it on Saturday if the winds direction is right.

@NickK Expectation management: you can check the prevailing direction using the handy app on your wa … Oh, right.

Just checked and Amazon isn’t even showing the all black now, only the lime which is pushed back to Feb 8th.

That is a good sign…selling well!

Another photo to stoke the appetite. I like the radar view.

@NickK Yeah the new Fossil Gen5 Garrett looks really nice!

IMO the Skagen Falster 3 is way nicer and has basically the same hardware. Still, the battery is “slim” for a sports watch … as it is on the S7 and Fossil G5.

Not promoting anything, just pasting a reference to back up my post.

I haven’t dug deeper into the WearOS capability to track sports and what is or isn’t working, but from a day to day use and casual sport tracking the Skagen is a winner in my eyes (that includes taking the S7 into account … GASP).
Now, if any WearOS apps support pairing a bike power meter/cadence sensor and HR strap directly to the watch, then the Skagen is the clear winner hands down.

I’ll sit back and see how this story with the S7 unfolds, marketing is very strong and that is a good thing, but as always, the watches are lacking better software support - looking at you Suunto App and watch FW.

@fejker Isn’t Skagen a bit thick for its size? I think it is. And much smaller screen than S7. I agree that it would hold its own against Fossil, but I’m not sold on S7 comparison. Bigger battery, bigger screen, offline maps, Suunto app integration, and running sports app off the low power co-proc are all winners for S7. And as far as sensors are concerned… S7 can run sensors just fine. But it will be a non-Suunto app like SportyGo, off the main processor. Wouldn’t say Skagen is gonna get it any differently.

But to each his own. I’m keeping my Fossil around too.
