    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Wrist activation while tracking paddling is a major issue. No matter how well charged my Suunto 7 is as the beginning of a say kayaking trip, it goes into essential mode after some 2 1/4 hours. This should ideally be baked into kayaking mode. The altimeter is pretty useless when sea-kayaking and can safely be switched off.

      @marty313 yeah.
      I mentioned this before, the only chance to survive is the following procedure :
      Start activity
      Switch to main screen
      Enable cinema mode

      Screen will stay off and you need a button press to check stars…

        the only chance

        is to use another watch. 👍

        I want to see speed, distance and heart rate while paddling and not to stop paddling and press a button to get the information.

        It was the main reason for me to give away the S7.

            For kayaking there should be the option to choose the displayed fields on the screen, because there is only half a second time to have a look at the screen during the movement of the arm.

            Speed, stroke rate, heart rate and distance are needed information for me.

            And shown permanently using the co-processor of the 3100 chip.

                  The best solution has the Ticwatch Pro 2020. Every kilometre there is an audio output with distance, speed, heart rate and cardio zone. No need to use the display or have a look on the screen during paddling.

                  I know that it is not possible with the S7 due to the missing speaker.

                  Just a view to other watches. 😊

                    No speaker… but you can use Bluetooth headphones, right?

                      @pilleus for me whitewater kayaking I don’t need the stats on the way. And won’t hear any audio information either. It’s just about tracking the path and marking certain sections with a lap point (waypoint would be better).

                          @Kai-Liu my battery life is the same as before: two days without activities, less with.

                            it’s definitely not worse for me

                              @marty313 :

                              Do what I do - start the activity, then lock the app (always do that due to another watch that regularly paused itself when my wrist pressed the button), then click top left for menu, then pull down the notification shade and press the watch screen off (also known as cinema mode - picture of a watch). This switchs off the screen.

                              Easy to see activity screen when you want by pressing the suunto app button.

                                @pilleus :

                                Use a custom profile - have done that for my SUP activity as the standard is very basic
                                You will not be able to get stroke rate, as i don’t think that is an option yet (didn’t come up as one for Paddleboarding), but you can definitely get the others laid out how you want.

                                Then easy to choose as will come up as one of your regulars.

                                        Thanks for the update, it is good to see that the watch constantly is improving!

                                        However, there is a big problem with the altitude accuracy with the new update. When running in the city, the watch is 10-20m off the actual altitude - I guess that is ok.
                                        But with the last hike, the watch was 150m below the actual altitude. The mountain peak is at 1430m, before the update the watch also showed 1430m. With the new update, I am at 1288m.
                                        Below two pictures, one before the update one with the new update. Same Start - Peak - End points, but with a slightly different route.
                                        If it matters, I changed the GPS accuracy to 10s, but this shouldn’t be the reason for 150m wrong altitude.
