Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware

Next week will our update arrive?
-
My wishes: for the built in watch faces to have legible text in the complications. I find the date and battery % very had to read at a glance. Also, the time shown during exercise is way too small for me to read while on my bike, so I’ve had to customise one of the screens to show me the time in a larger font. Another wish would be for e-biking to be a sport option.
-
@FazerDude Totally in agree with you. I said the same about the time in the exercise, small, it’s mandatory add this field in a screen. With that text size it is useless.
Regarding the size in the watch faces, it’s difficult see the text of battery or steps with this size font.Please, fix it.
-
@FazerDude i do the same as you, customize the screen using one of the slots for time. Considering we can do this, is there really any reason to adjust the time slot, as it may throw the other fields out. Personally I think they should completely remove it. If you want it, add it as one of your fields. Would make the most sense.
-
I’d love the ability to register a POI directly on the watch based on my current location. It would make it easier for me to remember suitable places to pitch a tent in the forrest.
-
if I have not misunderstood what you need, this is already possible from the navigation menu, by pressing the button lower.EDIT: NOT TRUE. I thought I was in the 3d dedicated to suunto 9, sorry.
-
@Saketo-Nemo really? I’ll definitely give that a try later!
-
Sorry man, I thought I was in the S9 thread. Need to sleep more
-
@Saketo-Nemo Aww, that was a bummer
. Thanks for correcting so quickly

Winter has come to my part of the world. The temperature is below freezing and when doing outdoor activities several layers of clothing are needed. So now I really miss the support for external HR sensor! When doing cross country skiing for instance, I now have to choose between wearing the watch over my jacket sleeve and seeing the display bot not measuring HR or under my sleeve and not seeing the display. I understand that using an external HR sensor means more battery consumption, but please Suunto, let that be my choice to make.
-
@aeroild I’m having the exact same issue right now. -6 degrees celsius yesterday when I went running. I had to choose between heart rate or a visible watch screen.
-
@jorgefd78 only thing I want is ability to connect Bluetooth chest strap to the Suunto app on the watch. It’s completely silly that you can’t do that right now.
-
@Metalmi Hear hear! This is my biggest complaint with my Suunto 7.
-
ABC (altimeter/barometer/compass) tiles would be great. The only android wear device I have seen that does that is the Casio.
-
@james-wylie agreed. There is a good barometer tile, often linked by Suunto in their website, but I found all altimeter apps suck quite a lot
-
ski resort maps!!
-
Autopause feature, please! It’s essential.
-
@nshkira yess!! like strava
also being able to resume an activity when having any tech issues. Activities already save in “Diary” automatically. We should be allowed to “Resume Hike” and be allowed to actually use that information so we can finish our activity after a tech issue without having to start a new one. Strava does this amazingly as well. “Diary” information/statistics save, at the moment, is completely useless and needs to be expanded on.
Personal Example of a Technology error that can happen, this issue would have never happened if I was recording with strava -
@eurohiker said in Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware:
ski resort maps!!
They are there. Is this a request?
-
@brad_olwin Really?!?!
Yes, ski resort maps was a feature request. i haven’t seen any advertisements or review videos of suunto ski maps and the ski resorts aren’t open in France so i can’t really check.
On Garmin’st website i’ve seen them at least advertise it.
I have seen “Map Style” --> “Winter” and same in the app.EDIT: OMG THANK YOU @Brad_Olwin I didn’t zoom in enough to see them! I was going to buy the ski tracks app from google play but this is awesome. I can’t wait to try it.
can’t believe no one has a video testing/using this on youtubeI guess I change my feature request for an offline map to be larger area than 62km.
