That’s the last hike. Very good compared to S9 hiking that was always very “wavy” for me

@jean-william-cousin Triple GNSS? Nav+Glo+Bds?

@NickK said in Suunto 7:
Do you have your watch properly connected to Google Fit?
Of course. The problem is not a faulty setup. There are other comments that activities pushed from Suunto to Fit are not shown in Fit.
-
@Luís-Pinto not sure where I can see/change that?
-
@jean-william-cousin I even don’t know if there is option to choose. In manual didn’t find.
-
@Luís-Pinto ok, so I don’t think so (else it’s very well hidden)

more battery test: 55’ weight indoor training with music (google play) and no phone connection (I left in the box office).
Battery at start: 98%
Battery at the end: 80%this weekend during my test using it as a normal watch I confirmed that the battery drop 3% per hour with or without ambient display. Now, with ambient display ON and disabling touch and tilt gesture the battery is dropping 1% per hour
FYI strap is very comfortable! much more than the one in S9. I hope suunto sells more straps like this in other colors

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it would be great to have a small Suunto icon and the name/type (running, biking, gym) combined with the activity pushed to Google Fit. To see the difference to the activities Google Fit records native.
The first activity is from Suunto, no specified name, just other.
The other two are from Amazfit. See the difference.

@pilleus do you have a Android or IOS phone? I can’t manage to see my activities in Goggle fit (connection in SA is activated…), and wonder if that’s because of IOS…

@pilleus Did you have a phone with you during this activity?
I went for a run yesterday. My phone tracking is disabled (well, it’s Google, so it’s probably “disabled”). The run later showed up in Fit, but without any heart rate, pace, or other info. So, I’m not sure if it was Suunto push, Fit on the watch auto-detecting activity (more likely), or that “disabled” phone app’s Fit.

Yes. But no activity tracking in Google Fit. I tried twice to identify the shown activity in Fit. Due to the recorded time it was the activity from Suunto. Without any data, just time and heart rate.
Today I will try it again and wait then, if it’s only a delay in Fit until the data is shown or a poor push by Suunto to Google Fit.

I am asking this for you guys hold on

I’m not going anywhere @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
In fact, I haven’t even made up my mind if I want Google Fit to begin with. My ideal solution would be, just like for @Brad_Olwin suggested, to have all the stats in Suunto app. -

It’s not that bad as reported by users. I have all my data from different watches (Suunto, Amazfit, Misfit) in one app with sleep, heart rate, activities and weight.

@pilleus I have been using it for the past several weeks. Soured on it quite a bit. It very much feels like an abandoned redesign.
First, they removed previously existing features like goals.
Second, they made editing things laughably primitive and limited. For example, I can’t remove sleep recorded by an app, really? What if said app made a mistake? It’s not like they keeping tabs on sleep phases, or even time in bed vs time asleep? It’s just beginning and end. Why lock it down?
Then we have basic lack of support among data providers. Suunto and Garmin don’t push to Fit at all. Polar does half-assed job with activities and weight only. Withings does puts its data in, mostly, but only if you go and constantly fiddle with settings. Oura is the only one that appears to work, but if I’m using them, I might as well limit myself to them. Really good app and even better web based dashboard.
Last but not least, comes activity import from other sources. It’s just broken. On several occasions Health Sync/Withings conjured something that would remove day’s steps, move minutes, and heart points. Like vanish them into thin air and replace with a specific activity’s steps spread evenly over entire day. How’s that even possible? I can’t delete sleep as a user, but they can nuke whatever? SyncMyTracks would fail to import half the information half the time. You’d go for an hour threshold run only to see a small fragment of your heart rate graph and 0 heart points. It works one hour and it fails the other. What gives?
I liked the concept. I liked the clean looks. But unless there’s real support by data providers that makes hacks like SyncMyTracks and Health Sync obsolete and I actually own and can edit my own data, I don’t think Fit offers much value. At least, not in my case.

Not possible to change the satellites.

@NickK you’re right. No doubt.
But I am an old guy and I learned to live with a feeling of what happens in my body and the trust in my body and heart. I feel good in the morning, okay, it was a wonderful sleep. I feel tired in the morning after a short night of having fun with my friends, okay, the sleep was not sufficient.
Do I need a watch for these information?
Because I am interested in the distance I ride with the bicycle within a year and it’s hard to have the right feeling of the distance, I use a watch to record it. Nobody except me is interested in the results. Independent of the fact where all these data are stored (Strava, Garmin, Suunto, Fitbit, Fit and more) I look at it at the end of the year and then the rides will go on.
It’s just fun!
And the great guys out there who are fighting for glory and honor don’t think a second about using Google Fit.
️Keep moving and have fun!

@pilleus I brought up sleep because it’s one of the most glaring and dumbest and easiest to fix things in Fit. There are plenty of others though.
I agree 100% with your attitude. But that brings us back to Fit. If it’s not good for sleep and not good for many other things, then why bother with it at all?
