@NickK what would be better workaround, the one with connect/disconnect in SA or to keep S7 in SA and Ambit3 in Movescount app?
-
The S7 just works! I enjoy every workout and the daily usage.
Today 3 hours mountain biking (path).
S7: 44,48 km - 741 m ascent - 744 m descent - battery usage 27 %
A3PS: 44,41 km - 744 m ascent - 747 m descent - forgot to check battery level at the start

@pilleus I really like my S7 but it would be much better with Android…that will not happen, I am totally Apple. However, I am not an Apple Watch fan for workouts, it is too much hassle to view zones, do intervals, etc. S7 is my weekday watch and S9 my weekend watch. Going to try to get the S7 to last a 55k race in a couple of weeks.

@Brad_Olwin I’m iOS too. But a friend is using a Pixel 3 and he doesn’t stop to telling me how good is Android and his Pixel and with the S7 works better than with iOS. But I have very strange friends

@jorgefd78 Second that. Nothing against iOS, but if you are dropping $499 on an everyday watch, sell ypur iPhone and get a Pixel 3 or OnePlus and enjoy your Suunto 7 to the fullest

Ummm @NickK and @jorgefd78 agree…
-
@Bulkan @NickK i could try s7 with iOS and Android and yes. The experience is much better in Android than iOS. No connectivity issues. I feel system and apps faster and even the sensation that the watch battery last more
-
A review should be made after testing with the correct systems. Android phone and WearOS watch.
Everything else is a joke.

Then I will not have integration with all of my Apple Music, HomePods, AppleTV, iPad and MacBook Pro. Not willing to just change out the phone and be locked out of the ecosystem I am using. I would drop the $ on this watch as an iOS user because the sports and maps implementation are far superior to the AW4 and the battery is as good.
-
@Brad_Olwin correct. If you are an apple boy (I switch to Android 1 month ago but not due tu s7) it doesn’t worth it to switch all the ecosystem only for a watch
-

Yes and no. I agree this is the feeling users here are expressing, but if the S7 is also marketed to be iOS compatible it is one of the important scenarios to test too.
-
Google Easter egg
Connect a head phone, ear buds or bluetooth speaker with your S7 and have fun with the drum sequencer!

It’s not a sensation. It’s the truth
-
@isazi It’s OK to have a separate section covering how different your experience would be on iOS. Especially when you took time to distinguish which of the issues are due to a different platform, which stem from the bugs in Wear OS app, and which are native to Suunto 7. I’m yet to see a review that takes this nuanced look.
Otherwise, it’s like reviewing a latest game optimized for PC on a Mac. Just because it kind of, sort of happens to run there.

I can state that Suunto thought it quite important to test with iOS users. Not able to reveal details but they did not want to market as an Android watch.

Okay. I try to get this. They do not want to market an Android (WearOS) powered watch as an Android watch. Crazy!
-
@pilleus Not so much crazy as in line with two of Suunto’s Prime Directives*:
- Be inclusive: everyone’s money is good. Don’t put off any potential customers by even hinting at product limitations (e.g., preferential device pairing).
- … something to do with employee satisfaction or anarcho-syndicalism. Ambiguous.
- … aesthetics/ergonomics/feng shui? Google gave up.
- [SECRET] Keep @Brad_Olwin happy-ish. (He’s an Apple Man.)
*Loosely translated/entirely invented.

I’m all for that, as I said. I’d be still using my iPhone if Wear OS app had been a tiny bit better. In fact I might come back simply because other apps that are important to me (like WHOOP) is a total garbage on Android. Still, the watch does work better on Android

No proof of that. Give me data
