    To be honest, this can be done on any other Gen 5 Fossil or Skagen watch for half the price of the S7. ๐Ÿง

    This can be done for free by using Polar Beat on the phone! Hey, I just saved you another half of the price! You are welcome.

        @pilleus Iโ€™m afraid that transfer cancels out the half you saved me by suggesting to use Fossil ๐Ÿคข

        Also, when sending bank wire info, beware of Nigerian royalty!

          Today I recorded a short walk with my Skagen Falster 3 and Ghostracer in standalone gps mode. Used sensors were heart rate (OHR), barometer and running cadence.

          Walking time: 1 hour
          GPS track: terrible, wobbling around
          Heart rate: precise
          Elevation (gain): precise
          Battery usage: 28 %

          Okay, no alternative to S7! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜Ž

            No indeed. Went for a recovery jog with S9 and S7 yesterday, 55 minutes. Google Play subscription music playing all the time (though some songs were purchased, so Iโ€™d imagine not all of the playlist was DRM-protected). Still, 55 minutes of GPS, OHR, and music came to about 20% battery use.

            Would have probably a bit more if I was checking S7 as opposed to relying on running power zone target in S9 ๐Ÿ˜‚

            Oh, GPS is really good, less than 0.03 mi difference from S9 with Stryd. OHR is way better than S9: no spikes, no cadence locks.

              @NickK The subscription service will burn through the battery much faster than if you download your own mp3 files. I certainly found this to be true.

                @Brad_Olwin Iโ€™d say about half the songs in the playlist were mine. But no more than that. Iโ€™d imagine Google Play would pull DRM-free versions of them, but hard to say. Will do another run on Sunday. Maybe Iโ€™ll remove my songs and leave only subscription stuff or vice versa.

                I did a tempo run the night before, using S7 and Pandora offline station. 40 minute got me down by about 28%. I did check S7 screen a lot. And Pandora is a total piece of garbage as an app and a terrible battery guzzler. I donโ€™t think they updated it since 2016 or so. Same bugs I remember seeing on M600 were still present.

                So far Iโ€™m looking at 0.4% to 0.7% per minute of GPS, OHR, and music. This would come to roughly 2-5 hours of running on a fully charged watch. I think with Google Play and purchased playlist, you should be able to comfortably do marathon with this thing.

                  I dont know that as well. On the phone it downloads the normal mp3.

                  However, on the s7 with a filemanager did not find any mp3 for my own music (purchased / uploaded)

                  Should I say this? Music mate app buddy. Downloads 320kbps mp3 (non-DRM) from your Gplay music (not purchased) ๐Ÿ™‚

                  I download the mp3s with this app and reupload them to GooglePlayMusic and thus I have always non-drm mp3s. If it makes any sense

                        The last test i did was a total disaster and this what it makes me to return S7

                        62โ€™ minutes playing my own music in play music. No connection to phone. I didnโ€™t check much the watch and didnโ€™t use maps. Total battery drain was 35%

                            @NickK the day before I did the same test but without music. Same track. Same time. Same checks. (maybe a little bit more) and the battery drain was 20%.

                                @jorgefd78 This is Wear OS for you. Yesterday after the run I was checking battery usage. Pandora came up at 1% even though I havenโ€™t touched that app in 48 hours and I think even rebooted my watch at some point. Since the app is a total PoS on the watch, I simply promptly uninstalled it. But Iโ€™m sure there can be more, starting with Wear OS itself. Google Play itself is a strange and buggy animal.

                                    @jorgefd78 do you have screen always on?

                                    I did AOD vs non-AOD and frankly, Iโ€™m not seeing that much difference. Does the screen even go blank when in Suunto app? Every time I look at my watch, Suunto app displays ambient screen with music buttons.

                                      @jorgefd78 that is really low to be honest. (or very high consumption). Should not like so.

                                        The battery consumption during the day was freaking awesome but not running. After 4 tests running I realize that I donโ€™t want to test more and decide to go with a suunto 9. When SA accepts more than one watch in a easy way I will buy again. The watch is awesome
