      @Fenr1r said in Digital Transition interview with Romain from Suunto:

      @André-Faria Thanks for the work: your understanding is appreciated and your interpretation is enjoyed.

      Sorry, I was out for a walk.
      I think Romain did his best to explain the intentions of Suunto, in the view of someone inside Suunto, and of course making it seem desirable/ok.
      I can’t blame him or Suunto, in fact, considering how things have been shared on Suunto website, I think he did much better.
      If that is enough for Ambit 3 users or some users, maybe not. But at least we understand how they thinking, what are their aims.
      For ambit 1/2 users in their view they are supported, and have the possibility of using the newer app and partnerships (so not obsolete, which I kinda agree).
      For ambit 3 users, in their view, it is supported within the app (so not obsolete. Here I hope to get more news regarding functions that we had and that relay on Movescount app, or even planner in movescount. But let’s wait)
      Regarding proper new, that I find interesting:
      Investing in the “platform” instead of new watch every 6 months
      Focus on doing good instead of doing everything
      Possibility of “two way sync” between TP and SA in 2021: that for me, if well implemented a game changer.
      Let’s see 😃

        Did he say that? Wow, that would change my life, I use TP and WKO as my main tool to planing and analyzing. The other day when I saw in the survey CTL-ATL was a big surprise. Made it happen Suunto!

            Before implementing two way syncing between Suunto app and third party services, I’d expect two way sync between watches they are selling and their own Suunto app.

              Min 38:04 starts the discussion about having Suunto app also importing stuff from training peaks and the integration. That today is only available in export mode.
              Discussion finish at min 40 something.

                @Fenr1r I doubt that Suunto would lose focus on outdoor/ultra watches, it is their heritage. Whether an S7 next generation could combine those, I don’t know. Plus, Suunto has invested a lot in mapping so I see continued emphasis in outdoor oriented watches. The S7 has a number of issues that make it a poor choice for an all-around outdoor watch IMHO.

                  I think that was not mentioned by Romain at all.
                  He just explained the “user targets” for each series.
                  And Jerome talked about his experience with S7, which even on outdoors, from what I understood, was very good (battery life apart).

                          @Brad_Olwin I don’t think the S7 will ever be a viable outdoor oriented watch, WearOS will not, in the near future, likely have the necessary battery life to pull that off. It’s a smart watch OS bent into the shape of a Suunto-ish OS.

                          Alphabet could surprise us and produce a version of WearOS that doesn’t eat battery…but unlikely. Don’t think I’ve seen any smart watch manufacturer claim anything of the sort is on their ‘roadmap’ to date.

                          Gonna be hard pressed to beat the S9, or need to, if they can just get the few missing features into the mobile app and onto the watch itself. My toe and ankle have healed and I’m eagerly awaiting some S9 features, a purchase, and a return to the backcountry in the spring!!! Or, if I’m lucky, marginal functionality retained and I’ll just use my A3P.

                            @chrish As of now the S7 will go 15-20h with FusedTrack. That plus maps makes it a pretty good outdoor watch. But it does not have a storm alarm, nor the features that the S9 has for outdoor activities (no altitude profile with a route loaded, for example). But I think for many it works.

                                @chrish We will see this solution greater each step. With new chipsets, (4100) “… reduce power consumption >25% and bring extended battery life to the platform.”, imagine with 5nm cpu process (qualcomm 4100 is 12nm…), and new graphene batteries.

                                I think would be great for S7 users to use also S+ add-ons. Suunto should use work already done for S5 and S9 and migrate to android OS. There are ressources very useful in S7 that wearOS brings.

                                Some people complain about the screen at the sun. Here with amoled technology there is not much to do.

                                  @Luís-Pinto I do not want everything to go Android, as an iPhone user, I find Google Assistant on the watch works perhaps 1/4 of the time. 3/4 of the time the watch can’t figure it out and states Google not available (it is) or simply does not respond. This is for setting a simple timer. Compared to Apple Watch OS it is a joke. I would rather not have all watches hobbled to Wear OS and I doubt they will be.

                                    @Brad_Olwin Imagine people that want buy a AW… But, but, oh they need to have a iPhone. Google have to make much more to bring wearOS to other position.

                                    I’m not a android fan, but on these days user experience is more and more app experience than OS.

                                    Is more easy programming in proprietary OS or Android?

                                    In initial S7 days i was not a big fan of concept. But i saw potential.

                                      @Brad_Olwin Not my use case, but point taken. I want a watch that will last for a week or two, turn it on for a couple hours of GPS navigation as needed. S7 and WearOS is not going to provide that. The OS is going to eat that in a few days. How long will an S7 run just laying on a desk…if it’s a month, then OK.

                                            I suppose it could be edible…but I think I’ll pass. Car stuff is super strange, it comes out of the bottle black, goes on and dries clear. The future is now!
