    @Bulkan Except all people writing here are Suunto 9 or Suunto 5 owners 😆 And all of them want Suunto 7 to be Suunto 9 with smarts and better screen at a cost of battery life.

    Suunto should really consider making Suunto 9 ¾

    I am a Suunto9 and Suunto5 owner. Not in the group you mentioned as the S7 cannot be an S9 and I don’t think we will have the two merged for quite some time. My hope is that in some way the maps implementation can be parsed into the successor of the S9.

      @isazi @Brad_Olwin :

      Suunto 8, the love child of 9 and 7. Or maybe is it Suunto 16?

      I see… No Harry Potter fans here 🤦

        This is definitely more realistic and more honest review than the one from dc rainmaker.
        I say more honest because i think that DC went intentionally more harsh in his review just to maybe shake Suunto a little bit in order to Suunto consider all drawbacks of this watch that he is mentioning and i can not say i dont agree with couple of his remarks.
        But overall, i like 5krunner’s review more and in my opinion this watch can really have great future.

          That might have got more love in the platform discussion.

            @Bulkan I have found I need to look at external sensors for strength and circuit training. OHR seems fine for me for running. This is a huge gap in my opinion as you should not really need to go out of the Suunto ecosystem to support this with other apps - if you do not do that then you do not get a true measure on effort and recovery.

                thank you.

                FWIW, I think I finally largely understand the commercial side of doing reviews.

                In a nutshell: it just isn’t possible for anyone except dcr to make a living in this space EXCEPT from Garmin commissions and ad revenue income and maybe paid-sponsorships for the likes of GCN.

                If you accept that as ‘probably true’, then you can draw your own implications about the motivations behind what people write.

                To be clear: my statement is not aimed at dcr. he is probably the exception to the rule.

                Regarding his intentions to shake up Suunto. I would imagine that Suunto is fully aware of what they released with the S7 and why they released it. All the companies understand what they are doing 95% of the time, they are stuffed full of intelligent people. They make compromises, perhaps, for commercial or timing reasons.

                  @kkalsi for strength I use it as high I can in my wrist. Specially if I do burpees and is pretty accurate. The light weight of the watch helps a lot.
