@Fenr1r Eternity in internet time

@NickK Absolutely. And in OS-related matters, no less: genuine kudos!
-
@peegee I don’t know exactly who you are addressing here, but I would recommend asking some more precise questions so other user may help out. What exactly do you need to know?
And if you are hoping for some more official information or suggestions from Suunto, well, um, I don’t think that will happen here.

-
@Brad_Olwin all possible apps for music, for custom face and dowloading pictures… s was would be wonderful…

@peegee I can take this question! There’s no difference between Android and iOS here.
Your music choices most likely will boil down to Google Music (both purchased and DRM-protected music via subscription), Pandora, iHeartRadio, and… that’s it. There is a handful of third party music players for MP3, but I doubt they are of much value to anyone.
No Spotify with offline playback support (Spotify exists, but just for controls). No Deezer me thinks. Definitely no Apple Music.
Life hack: go to Google Play, enter anything you want to find like “music” or “podcasts” in the search box, then use the device drop-down to limit your search results to Wear OS app supported by Suunto 7:

maybe I did not search well enough… but my wife switched to Iphone 13 over the x-mas break and she experiences sync issues with her S7 that she did not know from Android so far.
When she opens SA she was used to immediate sync of the S7.
Now with iOS, she opens SA and she sees that SA is searching for the watch for some time before it starts syncing. Sometimes it doesn’t find it at all…
Any hints are appreciated
-
@freeheeler just to be sure: for iOS the watch needs to be connected to the WearOS App in the phone all the time. Is this the case?
-
@freeheeler What @Egika said, I do not have this issue. Syncing S7 is indistinguishable from other Suunto watches on iOS.

@Brad_Olwin
thank you for your help here.
She’s got the wear OS app on the phone and activated. I’ll double check tomorrow if it’s working properly
-
@freeheeler don’t forget to whitelist both apps.
-
@jamie-bg how do you do this in iOS?
-
@jamie-bg said in S7 For iOS Tips:
@freeheeler don’t forget to whitelist both apps.
This does not apply to iOS

I’ve checked every setup and setting on her phone. Everything is allowed, ticked, toggled green etc… but for some reason the iphone doesn’t like her S7 the same as her old sony phone did
notifications randomly aren’t being pushed to the watch (calls, messages, calendars etc.) and when she wants to sync it sometimes needs to search for the watch first.
I think I’m going to try a reinstallation of SA and Wear OS again. Hope I’m lucky

I had same problem with titanium S7, I sent it back for repair. Biggest problem for me on titanium model that If i disable share location with phone it never locks gps even after 30minutes on clear sky. My regular S7 steel model sync without a problem and locks gps without iPhones help and fast. Could be some trouble with antenna. Try different positions and try putting one on top of another if you can find a way to precisely reproduce problem then let service know about it.

@freeheeler For notifications, these need to show on the lock screen not as a banner but until dismissed. Only those will show on the watch. In wear OS the notifications selected will not show if blocked in the System preferences. If the S7 sleeps, you can lose the BT connection. Have you rebooted the phone? In Settings/WearOS is location set to always? Is BT on as well?
