@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos will suunto publish a roadmap of incoming features arriving to suuntoapp in wear OS?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@jorgefd78 no roadmap but I do know there is a lot of firepower dedicated.

There is a leak that says you won’t need to raise your wrist and use the full power processor to see maps and stats

Honestly there is much development involved from both side (Google + Suunto + Qualcomm)

[JorgeFD]

disconnect the watch (100%) at 4:30pm. Now it is 7:45pm

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@jorgefd78 system Android. I bet autoupdated apps.

Ok.

This might be a good tip.

Turn off autouodate apps on Google play on the watch.

I suspect that is the case here but no expert.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Also in general , perhaps to add my initial thoughts here. The first day I got my s7 I charged it twice. Meaning playing around etc installing apps testing a run and so on.

The more you get used to the watch and the more it becomes a norm , for me it’s ok.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I was wondering if that “leak” also covered external sensors using only the low power processor?

Honestly, rumor has it 3100 SoC’s low power core can only handle signals from GPS and OHR sensors, due to how SoC is designed. I couldn’t validate this as most of the Qualcomm docs are behind registration wall. Anyhow, my hopes for native external sensor support are pretty low in this iteration of S7.

Look at it another way: DCR mentioned talking about heart rate sensors with a lead S7 dev at CES for a good hour. Something that’s clearly planned doesn’t require an hour long discussion. Reminds me of his many unsuccessful attempts to persuade Fitbit to support sensors in their higher end devices. Perhaps, there aren’t that many of us who need these additional features and the focus would indeed be on common user who can’t be bothered about accurate heart rate, running power, or structured workouts.

Any rumors about either Suunto native integration with Google Fit, or pushing activity tracking stats from S7 inside Suunto app? What about any Firstbeat metrics? None coming?

Not yet a 3100 watch face, but exactly the color of the strap (the picture is not exact with the colors).

The first impression is very positive.

The first day or so with a Wear OS watch it chugs through the battery quickly, my WSD-F20 and WSD-F30 both did this. Lots of updates etc

That looks awesome! Is that a factory Suunto strap or one of the Amazon knock-offs? It looks great

[pilleus]

@Storz Strap is a Amazon one

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@NickK yeah honestly I have heard 0 about sensors. That said if the life is 5h with mp3 (drm) 5h with sensors is ok for me. Just enable it and show the battery toll to the user right ?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@NickK about FB there are rumors.

About fit why not. Imo it’s not hard. The case though can be complicated if those data are need to reach the SUUNTO cloud that eventually get pushed to partners. Get the point ?

[Storz]

Anyone know of somewhere that has black or black/lime in stock? I am not sure Amazon actually has the one I ordered

[Bulkan]

@pilleus wow so cool!

[Bulkan]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Just support Stryd would be enough for me.
