Suunto 7

Storz

Well crap just got this email from Amazon, though it still shows a Tuesday delivery I suspect that will change

"Hello,

@Storz Got it for my cancelled order too. Yes, cancelled and no longer showing in my app. That being said, my second order so far hasn’t been transferred from Amazon to USPS despite being marked as shipped at 1:30am. So, I will believe I have S7 when I see it on my doorstep.

(Should have gone with Clever Training. They confirmed stock and were going to begin shipping pre-orders today. Sigh )

Same here.

@Storz well I’m not sure which one is most annoying : not having the watch delivered or having it in front of you and not being able to play with it

@jean-william-cousin The latter, hands down. Can’t even compare. I feel for ya!

jw cou

@NickK well it gets better, I got an auto answer from support@suunto.com saying the mailbox is full and they can’t accept new emails

Battery drain

Left home yesterday at 7:30

3 countries. 20min run, many app updates and fiddling , also trying to run qs on s7 via a browser.

Also many debug apps as you see and the instruments app recording altitude.

Tons of vibrations due to family issue (thus the traveling).

I am not sure but I think it’s ok

Dang man that sucks! Suunto should overnight you a new one asap.

This is literally bad. I hope it’s an isolated case.

Let me ask you to check this. Could you check , no joke, with some utilities if the charger (pins) give current ? (Voltage )

Another thing to tell me please : holding the upper left button what happens (not connected to charger )

jw cou

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos holding upper left button without charger : no reaction. There used to be the Suunto screen + charging screen for 2s before returning to black screen.

And I don’t have the tools to check if the cable is faulty at home, can check that tomorrow…

jw cou

The cable does something though, because when I plug the watch to my laptop I randomly gets the Suunto screen (without touching the buttons or the screen)

sartoric

Maybe the base doesn’t make contact ?
Have you tried to push the pins ? Maybe some of it is stuck

jw cou

@sartoric maybe… they look “high” enough but it’s difficult to check! Pins looks good and are all “up”

and then there is my case: the watch was to be delivered today. At 7 he left … but in the opposite direction to my house. He arrived at a wrong courier warehouse. So he went back. And it seems that he never moved from there

jw cou

Happy story for a Friday night : after leaving the watch charging for 2 hours (with a black screen, no reaction at all), then it started and I’ve just done the initial setup. Time to play now

It’s good to know I guess that the initial power charge can take a while and is mandatory to start the setup!

@jean-william-cousin Excellent. Let me know if you have questions.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos did my first run 10’ ago. This is my data:

1h run and 10km. The watch was connected to the iphone (i’m not 100% sure because my phone was receiving notifications but the watch didn’t). I try to use S7 like a did in S9 o ambit. Maybe I checked 60 times because I want to see how FC was going. I did a quick check to maps 3 times. The battery drops from 88% to 68%. I think this is not good.

Now my first impresions about the watch:

THE SCREEN IS GEORGEOUS.

SuuntoApp is very limited and I feel like having a deja-vu (hello! first time SSU user here). I have the feeling that at the usual rythm that suunto develop, the watch in a few months or maybe a year will be awesome, but at the moment is like to have a 200k porsche while driving at 30km/h.

The watch himself didn’t feel as robust as S9.

OH MAN! THE SCREEN IS OMFG!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@jorgefd78 about that 20% with running I am not sure honestly.

Regarding the feeling of robustness , strange I do find mine well.

Let me record a video.

And perhaps just a disclaimer to people here.

I am one of the persons that have not tested the s7 well. So kinda like a new user. Too little time Todo that so we are all in the same boat.

Phew good to hear!
