I’ve been using Galaxy Watch 4 and S7 parallelly for the past few months now.
S7 is obviously shining on the sports side and also the easy use of offline maps is something the Watch 4 is lacking. On the smart side the Watch 4 is a bit better over the S7.
For example I don’t know if it’s the Wear OS 3 but with Watch 4 I can read full long messages (email and whatsapp). S7 is not able to show long messages completely. Battery is about the same with both watches in normal use but during an activity the S7 is again shining over the Watch 4.
I really hope that S7 is not the last Wear OS device from Suunto. -
@jantikainen The galaxy watch can track multiple sleeps per day, like a fitbit. Something the S7 unfortunately can’t.
-
@harboe
yes that’s true but it’s not relevant to me since I don’t take naps.
-
@harboe i totally agree with you. Lack of tracking multiple sleep sessions is really bad. Because every nap is kinda booster to your energy during the day and kind of status of your wellbeing… But unfortunatly even resources doesn’t increase during day when you are stationary in your bed or something it must be shown somehow that you get yourself some energy so your watch without that thinks on the end of the day that you are dying
-
@zoran-z - take a look at your resources widget - naps should reflect as boosting resources - which in my opinion is the correct way of dealing with naps; and shouldn’t be added to overall sleep as it knocks the percentage of stages out of whack in relation to overall sleep duration.
If it naps/rest time when your stress is low, it should be increasing resources. If it isn’t it’s due to the firstbeat algorithm not being updated. The S7 was one of the first watches with the firstbeat sleep tracking integrated with stress and sleep score, however when you see the improvements that have been made to it over the last year or so (reference the Garmin Fenix lines) - its amazing how much more developed and refined it has become.
Though still wish we got the HR graph across the sleep stages graph like Suunto does. Always really liked looking at that one. Instead now just look at stress overlaid against sleep stages.
-
@zoran-z for me resting, like sitting on the couch - and taking a nap even more - is reflected in a significant raise in resources on any Suunto watch I have / had. Be sure to set your resting heartrate not too low! It’s not the lowest average HR in sleep, but the one you have during the day while not doing anything. For me it’s about 10 beats higher than the sleeping HR.
-
@chrisa Is there possibility to configure resting heartrate in S7? Im not aware of it.
-
-
@chrisa Thank you for advice. Didn’t know about that funcionality…
-
@brad_olwin I agree on the need for customizable HR zones. Mostly because Suunto still claims that the watch offers “personal heart rate zones” under the specifications on the Suunto 7 page. But please Suunto, a generic calculation of heart rate zones based on max HR is not the same as personal HR zones.
-
@aeroild I think this thread is about s7’s possible software update and not feature requests
-
@r-s-0 So in other words you could directed your comment to half of the posts in this thread.
-
@r-s-0 I think this comes down to a very subtle distinction between how we differentiate „possible upgrade“ and „feature request“
-
@aeroild Yeah and it’s been bothering me for a while

No more WearOS from Suunto?.. (from Google I/O '22 about WearOS 3)
-
@flypg I also miss Samsung so… I will not be worried
-
@suzzlo yes, good point, I did not see this detail.
-
@flypg probably this is the list of Google partners that are developing me watches actively… I don’t see the point of investing so much time/money creating S7, and then never reusing it (unless S7 was a completed fail)
-
Except mobvoi, they are all design/watch brands.

@suzzlo said in April is Coming ! (S7):
@flypg I also miss Samsung so… I will not be worried
Yeah, weird not to se Samsung on there.
