Suunto 7 Marathon
-
@NickK so just back from my 12 miler. Good news, having performed a factory reset and then configured recommended settings for battery life as per docs, I used 24% in approx 1h50m.
One funny I noticed. At the start I was using the watch icon to turn the screen off as and when I needed to view stats or change a song. However the touchscreen stopped working and I could no longer drag down the menu to choose it.
-
@Gareth-Stockdale Do you use iPhone or Android? Was the phone with you or you left it home? Have you used maps? From only 24% I’d imagine no music.
From you saying you tapped the icons and all, I’d imagine you have tap to wake on?
I disabled that, along with power tilt, I get about 8-10% battery per hour with Suunto app outdoor running. I don’t check the screen often though, maybe once or twice per mile, and I’m yet to navigate to that beautiful maps screen.

@Gareth-Stockdale I am using the S7 for longer trail runs, I have only Powersave Tilt on with Gestures off, touch off and I occasionally look at the maps screen. I am getting 5-7h of run time, which the latter is about the max. That should get the majority of folks through a marathon. In my experience the Running mode is a bit better with battery than the Trail Runnning mode.

what’s the difference between run & trail mode apart the screen data?

I’ve done long bike rides (3-4 hours) and came back home with plenty of juice.
Obviously if you arrive to the start line with 70% battery left and plan to use music you might be sold…
I don’t think you’ll have issues

@jorgefd78 I think it is where you are running. On technical trails I likely activate power save tilt on the screen often due to how my hands are moving. That does not happen running on pavement where all is mundanely the same.

For information I’ve just finished a 3h30 run, in a new location so a lot of map checking, and it consumed 40% of the battery. Quite good in my opinion!

Congratulations for the marathon. Please upload some photos of the screen with the marathon if you want

@Bulkan it was not a marathon, just the usual trip in the woods

GPS and OHR worked really well : https://beta.quantified-self.io/user/88tGXoxa0YOtAw07abZo8jK8mN93/event/3cPQA91MbTn2CvY9nukbwvqsE5BRQodXKmw79U2Pe41tGmy
