      @Urban-Olofsson use the Suunto phone app, tap on the watch icon in top right corner. Here you have the sport mode customisation function.

      Let me add, sync, wait for the sync and follow the instructions above.

        Hi @ all!
        Given that Suunto now counts steps does it make sense to let Fit count steps as well? If I disable Fit on the watch will Google Fit sync my steps with suunto so that I have the counted steps in the google fit app?
        FYI:
        suunto step counter right now 1668 steps
        fit step counter right now 1183 steps.
        😶

        THX!

          Fit: 972
          Suunto: 1 011 steps

          For what reason should I use Google fit, now?

              Suunto App and Google Fit uses different algorithms.
              Google Fit is more “conservative” and Suunto App is closer to how traditional Suunto Watches count steps.

              So it’s up to you to choose which suits you best. For me Suunto’s variant is better, but some people coming from other WearOS watches to Suunto 7 might have their data in Google Fit and prefer Fit metrics.

                interesting finding! I would have thought the data base would be the same and the watch’s OS do the counting.

                currently I have 960 steps in FIT and 956 in Suunto -> very small difference and Suunto more conservative

                also I find that the FIT steps are not updated in real time. Maybe different time of sampling the counter

                    I think, if I remember correctly the steps etc should eventually align. It’s just different refresh / sync periods.

                    I might be wrong though

                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Yep, may be I’m wrong and it will align now

                        hm, right now I´ve got 3174 in fit and 4352 in suunto. That`s quite a huge difference.

                            I find the Sport mode customization super useful for the S7, as you can design displays with 2 big numbers only that are much more readable on sunny days with the S7 screen (and a low brightness to save some battery) than the standard displays. Good job! Now I only need to be able to load routes and my S7 will be perfect for me!

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos “Power saver tilt” is broken after the update. “Tilt-to-wake” works fine, though.

                                  @Metalmi power save tilt is fine for me. Are you using a Suunto watchface?

                                    Regarding calories and steps.

                                    Google fit aggregates steps and calories from the phone as well if you use it.

                                    So leaving the watch at home , walking with the phone, and syncing will give you steps from phone etc.

                                      @Brad_Olwin I am. It started working fine few hours later - maybe after I was changing watch face (turning power saver tilt off and back on didn’t help).

                                        Due Suunto 7 is a WearOS watch, I see that Suunto is extending the integration with Google Fit. 🙂

                                        It would be great if we see improvements in that direction for the rest of watches.

                                          @Dominik-Moser I have been checking my steps for the last few days. Google Fit and Suunto while not exact are very, very close to each other. This includes my running so they are off by at most 1-2%.

                                            @Brad_Olwin Right now Fit counts 4840 steps, Suunto 5250. A bit more than 1-2% 😉
