Suunto 7

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

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

@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

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)

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

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.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I have settings in default mode (screen, brightness, tones and vibration). I’m try to check the battery from wear os app but it is not working

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@jorgefd78 I think that needs time. Btw you had the watch updated right ?

These are some “on the balcony tests” done for you now.

Just don’t ask to drop it from the 7th floor I might do so
