S7 roadmap: what are Suunto plans here?

[isazi]

@jorgefd78 weird, why Suunto plus on the S7, where you have apps already?

[isazi]

I see, someone misread a post it seems

@Bulkan

Just a thought of one user, misread and propagated

[giulio]

@Mff73
But seem that suunto write this (we are delighted to inform you…)…

[isazi]

@giulio it’s just a joke, a forum joke, or better a provocation taken seriously.

I think this need a clarification.

Is not true that roadmap. It is a post Luis Pinto wishing Suunto sending that roadmap.

At this moment Suunto didn’t publish roadmap about the S7.

Who knows? Maybe @Luís-Pinto is a secret identity of Suunto CEO? And this is unofficial official roadmap?

Here is how to create a rumor.

Rumors is what you get when there’s no actual news!

Wow, this is great. Brilliant stuff.

This always remain me the past

@Frixos-Demetriades Suunto can put Garmin miles behind if they want to… They just don’t do it because they are shareholders and don’t want them to go bad

[giulio]

Hi,
Anyone knows about if/when we will see route import on s7?
News?

[Frank D'Haenens]

Is there any way to track sleep with a S7 - Iphone combo? I feel tricked as Suunto gives the impression Wear OS is the answer to all your needs, including sleep tracking. Also, Google Fit is incredibly shallow compared to the competition. At this price point Suunto needs to step up and at least integrate sleep from the S7 in the Suunto app. And last but not least, a 15 minute HR measuring intervall is just silly. Not satisfied.

Hello,

I feel obliged to post in a forum and ask for help as I’m a bit lost in the product offering of the sport-watch market.

What I want seems pretty basic and I’m a bit surprised no product seems to hit exactly my prerequisites.

I want to

1/ Track my runs and sometimes predefine routes on a larger screen before starting my workouts via any app that could sync to Strava (as I’ve used it historically)

2/ Have real-time map cues on where I am (guidance would be a plus, to make sure I follow my itinerary)

3/ Listen to tunes via bluetooth headphones coming from Spotify. A simple batch of downloaded tunes would do.

4/ All of the above without taking my phone with me. What’s the point of buying a watch otherwise?

The Suunto 7 looks ideal for what I’m after except the real-time map guidance & the Spotify offline sync, which only Garmin & Samsung seems to support.

Is there planned in one way or another that Suunto adds support for Spotify offline sync? I am aware that it’s a Spotify SDK limitation and since 2018, I am surprised nothing has moved in that area.

Thanks all!

Ping @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos or @Brad_Olwin who are well informed and active here.

In wearOs you have apps for that. Right now is not possible in the native app but you can run 2 apps at the time.

2/ Have real-time map cues on where I am (guidance would be a plus, to make sure I follow my itinerary)

Realmaps are in the Suunto 7 only.

3/ Listen to tunes via bluetooth headphones coming from Spotify. A simple batch of downloaded tunes would do.

Not in the Suunto Ecosystem.

4/ All of the above without taking my phone with me. What’s the point of buying a watch otherwise?

it depends, what sports you do… I don’t find useful in endurance sports and smartwatch with music and a bunch of things draining my battery. I prefer take my phone with me always, safety first.

Yep, Suunto, Samsung and Applewatch LTE.

I don´t know.

@Bulkan Thanks man, appreciate the replies. And to answer your question: I run for half-marathon / marathon.

Two follow up questions:

1/ On the map & cues: are you saying with the Suunto7, I can predefine a route, pick it up when starting to track my run and I’ll get guidance to follow te route, whether via audio cues or visual cues? I’m not sure I understood you correctly.

2/ On offline music: What is said here is the following “a music app on your watch that supports offline use”. Spotify does support offline use. Is this then simply inaccurate or is it misleading as it only concerns Google Play Music? What other apps than Google Play Music are then supported?

Thanks very much in advance

Not possible atm.
What you have is different styles of topo maps in the watch. Plus the super useful heat map display for various different sports.
But no pre-planned route.
I am confident it is under development, but not there right now.

Excellent, that’s what I read from a reviewer in another forum who had access to a beta version. Cool, let’s cross fingers & it comes sooner than later to public!

Thanks @Egika

Anyone on the offline music topic?
