@harboe the battery will have to improve to be able to make all the improvements that the update brings.

@ander-lehena i agree, we will have a 24h hr monitor but we will have to put it on charging during night.
I’m very disappointed about the suunto 7 battery. -

I’m very disappointed about the suunto 7 battery.Let’s wait with judgement until we’ve actually got the update.

@drunners I use Sleep as Android at the moment and for ~8hrs of sleep it consumes 14-16% battery which is about 2%/hour. Sleep as Android uses continuos hr.
-
@jantikainen 2% isn’t bad at all. Hope the native app match that. Tempted to try Sleep as Android, but think I can wait a week or two more.

The real issue will be to find the time to get our S7 recharged, with all these new day&night tracking functionalities!

I don’t think it’ll be an issue. The watch charges very fast so it can be done either right before bedtime in the evening or just after waking up in the morning. It’s only about an hour in charge.Samsung Galaxy S24

@jantikainen I usually just charge mine after a workout. By the time I’ve finished my shower and got fully dressed I’ve usually recovered enough battery.
-
@jantikainen Having owned quite a lot of smartwatches I’m quite impressed how fast it charges. Plesent supprice.

Dissapointed? It has the best battery of any WearOS device (the TicWatch Pro 3 is a close second in my opinion).
I can get easy over 70 hours of life if not tracking GPS activities. Considering the functionality of the watch, that is absolutely mega!
With 24hr continuous HR that will obviously drop, but it still eclipse any other WearOS device.
Sleep as Android is a notorious battery hog, so I would also expect the Suunto sleep tracking to be less of a drain than this.
And for those worried about when and how to charge it, my solution is top charge when I shower, shave, and brush my teeth in the morning.
With my current levels of activity and with how fast the S7 charges (which is mega fast!) I only need to do this every two days!The S7 is a battery beast!

what is the max power for charging? 10W?

@olymay I totally agree, except the Sleep as Android part. I use it and the battery consumption is around 2%/ hour
-
@jantikainen I haven’t used SaA for a while, as it used to eat roughly 50% battery in a 7 hour sleep. So either the app has been updated, or it simoply works better on the S7.
Either way, the lack of proper automatic sleep detection and what I think is a horrible UI are still enough for me to steer clear.
I am really looking forward to comparing the S7 sleep tracking with the Withings Sleep Analyser which is what I currently use.

Been looking at that device. It’s a shame that we are still in a situation where different health device makers don’t really work all that well together. I remember thinking Google Fit was going to be the solution to that problem

@aleksander-h It’s frighteningly clever in how it works! I have a Simba mattress which has memory foam in it, and the analyser sits underneath this and can detect my heart rate THROUGH the mattress!!! I’ve no idea how it works but it does!!! It is also medically approved to detect sleep apnea (I was worried I had this but this device says otherwise
) as well as detecting snoring patterns.It’s also nice not to have to wear something on my wrist.
The only downside to it, is that you can’t take it with you. As I am starting to once again plan some trips away later in the year, it will be nice to have a sleep tracker that goes with me

I did a hike today until the battery completely died and the watch powered off automatically.
After I charged the watch, I check and the activity was saved but some data is missing.
The distance, time, HR and GPS course were saved correctly but details like ascent, descent, steps, calories, TSS, PTE, EPOC are missing.
Also, in the diary of the Suunto app on the watch there is only the total duration and the auto laps.
It tries to load the graphs with the HR and pace but imediatly disappear.Is this a normal behavior for when the watch shutdown during an activity or it was a bug ?
Just to know for the future to manually save the activity before runs out of battery completely. -
@steff I had the same happen earlier this week and can confirm that steps, ascent, etc is not showing in the app.
-
First few days with Suunto 7. Noticed I left the daily HR monitor running and it’s reading a HR when I’m not wearing it. The Daily Activity window will show the HR fluctuating as it lays on the bed next to me. Anyone else with this issue? Defective?
