but the idea is to not have to pull out my phone and check these things. We were spoiled in AW world in that aspect.

Not to beat another dead horse, but you wouldn’t have had this problem on Android either Not that I suggest anything

[Sarah Gribble]

Absolutely. Unfortunately a swap to android is not worth a fully functioning Suunto 7 for me. I’ll continue to hope for my work arounds and improvements in time

suunto app

… is not responsible for weather. It is a WearOS feature.

[Sarah Gribble]

Yes- I just check both apps for the sake of checking.

Ah, okay, thanks for the information.

Sorry to bombard with posts, but weather has updated. Landed at 13:06 and changed at 14:15.

Yesterday when I landed the weather didn’t change until I opened (20 minutes I waited) the weather app in the watch and remained good after that.

The photo is in the cab once I landed. The map was from origin and didn’t change at the moment. But when I was moving around the city it moved pretty quick.

@Sarah-Gribble what happens when you open the Google assistant?

Not sure I agree with that, it is location dependent and I think SA app on the iPhone is the critical link that tells the S7 what its location is without a GPS fix.

[Brad_Olwin]

@Sarah-Gribble Ok to boil this down, I suspect the main issue is the S7 is not getting location information properly from your phone. Not much more I can do to help here I am afraid.

[pilleus]

@Brad_Olwin may be the Apple thing is different, I don’t know. But I never has Suunto App on the smartphone connected to the S7 and location and weather is correct. Deactivate location service on the S7 and nothing will work further on, because it’s a WearOS watch setting and not a Suunto app setting.

[Brad_Olwin]

@pilleus It may be WearOS on the iPhone but I am not sure, I do know that the heat map watch face requires location information from SA on the phone ( I think).

I installed the heat map watch face on my Skagen Falster 3 and the heat map is shown and updated for changing locations. Be sure that Skagen Falster 3 has no connection to Suunto app on the phone.

I checked it to make it clear. The watch face asks for the permission to receive the location from the watch or phone via WearOS. Watch gps standalone is enough. There is no doubt that it is working without the Suunto app on the phone.

@Brad_Olwin here the both watches with the current location and cycling heat map at nearest 2 km setting. Both watches are not connected to the Suunto app on the phone.

@pilleus Maybe you should look into porting Polar’s app from M600? Voila! we have external heart rate support, sports mode customization, structured intervals, and workout calendar

[Brad_Olwin]

@pilleus Isn’t the heat map watch face that is provided as one of Suunto’s watch faces proprietary? How can you install this on another watch? Curious.

[pilleus]

@Brad_Olwin yes, it’s the watch face from Suunto. Only available on the S7.

One night, the Skagen Falster 3 and the S7 were laying together on the table. And it happened! Something like this Corona virus.

i’m 100% sure that you can extract SA from s7 and install in any wear os watch

Given it is optimized for low-power co-proc in Qualcomm 3100 and possibly Suunto 7 own SoC sensors-wise, not any Wear OS. At a minimum, Qualcomm 3100 only.

For a positive review, just touched down in Atlanta and weather/heat maps updated immediately!
