Why We Like The 7 Sport Watch

The Suunto 7 balances our busy lives with the next big outdoor adventure, or just getting out for a run at the very least. With a battery life of up to 2 days in Smartwatch use and up to 12 hours in Training Mode with GPS, and over seventy different sport modes, this watch keeps track of our daily performance not only when we're logging miles on mountaintops, but also during the casual moments in between grand adventures.


When we're miles from home, and the watch notices that it's running low on juice, it will automatically suggest switching to another training mode to preserve battery life, helping it finish out the run and recording data the whole way. It has 12 hours of battery life in GPS mode, 12 hours in sport mode, and a whopping two days in smartphone mode. That same intelligent technology keeps track of our activity history and sends reminders to charge up when it thinks we're headed out on a run soon, ensuring that we never get stuck out on the trail without training data. And when we get home, we can easily share our times and miles on the Suunto app and several other popular, third-party apps. The latest firmware redesign includes a low-power always-on display, so our training metrics are visible without draining the watch battery.


Suunto pushes its navigation system into overdrive by adding Heatmaps for over 15 sporting activities that use mapped routes like cycling, running, and hiking. Tap into and check out the more popular routes or bite off a little less of the unknown to perhaps find some hidden gems. Plus, with route navigation, we can even create our own route—just sync the route to the watch and off we go. With route navigation on our watch, we always find our way.


One of the most innovative parts of the Suunto 7 is using both GPS and movement data to preserve battery life and keep accurate tracking. GPS is a big drain on batteries, so when batteries start to drain, the GPS signal is often reduced to preserve juice, resulting in incorrect readings. The Suunto 7 gets around this problem by using movement data to fill in the gaps when GPS is limited, giving us an accurate distance reading that doesn't cause the battery to sputter out halfway through a run.

Awesome Activity Tracking Smartwatch!

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I've been testing the Suunto 7 for a few months and am loving it! It works great as a smartwatch, pairing well with the Wear OS Google software/apps and my iPhone X. I love that it displays text messages and emails and takes calls right from the screen. It also of course does other basic smartwatch functions like tracking daily steps. It even has Spotify and you can download songs direct to the watch for offline listening! I found it very easy to use/user-friendly in the MANY activity tracking and GPS modes. I mainly used it for walking/jogging, hiking, and mountain biking. It was perfect for all of these and I loved how well the tracking and routes worked. I have a Gamin Forerunner and feel the Suunto mapping/tracking and route-loading is better and easier. I was also happy to see the heart rate monitor as a feature and found it to be accurate along with the altitude and distance being tracked. I'm really looking forward to using it during ski season to track my runs and speed! The screen size was a little larger than I would have liked for my small wrists at first, but it was so much easier to see everything and navigate with the awesome touch screen that I think I'd actually prefer that now. Speaking of the screen, it claims to be scratch-resistant and it actually is. I can't believe how durable it is. After wearing it mountain biking and taking lots of crashes in it, it still looks brand new. I found the battery life to last about 12 hours in GPS/Tracking mode and about three days in non-GPS mode (with messages coming through). I feel other watches have a little better battery life, so I knocked it down 1 star here, but this also isn't Suunto's top-of-the-line watch, so I feel totally ok with that. While I felt I was charging it often, I was very impressed with how fast it charged so that was great! If you're an endurance athlete or backpacker who would be using the watch in GPS mode for multiple days, I'd consider the Suunto 9 or higher for better battery life or just bring a power bank with you. All in all, if you're looking for a great smartwatch with all of the bells and whistles without breaking the bank, I definitely recommend the Suunto 7!

What more can you ask for?

What an awesome product. I receieved this from Backcountry and it did not dissapoint. Starting with the watch itself it was an awesome size for my not big wrist. If it was any bigger itd be too big but it fits just right and doesnt do the awkward top flop on me. Navigating the watch itself was not the easiest when i first got it, but dont be discouraged because once you sit down and learn it then its very easy to use. I really appreciated how easily compatible it was with my android as well. The buttons on it are so nice so you dont have to use the screen to start or stop recording so its ideal for winter conditions. I loved the versatility in what i can track during my workout. The custom tiles were a huge win and the actual workout log in the app is so specific and accurate. I was able to look at the exact location i ate the asphalt on my bike ride. The Suunto app is really well built out with so many features. Having to download wear OS was a little bit of a bummer but it didnt take up too much space for it to really affect me. I was even more impressed with the GPS accurancy in the mountains. Ive tried other apps but they always seemed to fail me on my galaxy. This was so spot on and i felt super comfortable with the reliability. The battery life is sufficient for a shorter adventure but anything over 6 hours of recording will drain it. Between biking, hiking and climbing its more than enough for what im looking for. You really get a burly watch. The screen seems impossible to break. Ive taken a few hard falls with it on and was jamming my arms in a crack and it still looks close to brand new. My boyfriend had this watch for close to 1.5 years and the heart rate sensor went out and Suuntos repair department IS AMAZING. It was one of the most hassle free repairs weve ever had done and it got back so quickly i cant appreciate them enough. This is so close to a 5 star for me but the battery life knocks it down by 1. There is 1 feature off my android watch id love to have on here which was a reminder to get up and walk around but you cant win em all. Point is if you want a watch thatll track EVERYTHING you want from a company that ensures their products will last, you found it.

Unreliable.

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I was given this product from Backcountry, but this review is my personal opinion. Unfortunately I have to come back and edit my review after several months of use. I really really wanted to like this watch and I gave it a fair chance. The main issues, which I would consider dealbreakers, are 1. unreliable activity tracking. 2. battery life 3. connectivity. I use this watch for mountain biking all Summer and the tracking is completely off. It always says I've climbed 1000s of feet more than I have. I wouldn't trust the battery life on more than a 3hr activity, so it's a no-go for real backcountry adventures. Suunto keeps saying I can completely reset the watch and get software updates to fix the issue. It's the only solution they've provided and it's pretty disruptive. You have to completely re-sync and re-pair your phone with every app (there are like 3 that you need just to use the watch). It takes time and it doesn't connect back to your phone easily. Most importantly, it might fix the issue for the next activity or two, but then it starts mis-tracking again. Things I like: - buttons on the watch face make it easy to control even if you're wearing gloves or mittens - overall sleek design that I don't mind wearing around - magnetic charger is super easy to use - you can choose to get all of your phone notifications on your watch if you want - nice to control your music from your watch. I've actually used this at home a lot and it's nice to adjust music without having to carry your phone or laptop everywhere with you

I have owned my Suunto 7 for a month, and I am mostly pleased with its functionality. As a general sports/smart watch, the 7 performs very well. For serious performance athletes, it may have some downsides which I will address later. In comparison with the Suunto 5, it is nice to finally have a crisp, vibrant backlit screen on the 7. I also love the touch screen capability. Additionally, the integration of Wear OS has made it a watch that I want to wear from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. Out of the box, the watch was very easy to set up and sync with my phone. The watch itself has a tutorial that takes you through its buttons and menus, and the online support and tutorials are succinct and informative. The watch combines the Suunto app for the sports modes and the Wear OS app for smart functionality. When I initially logged in to the apps, I received e-mails that seemed to be reading my mind. Their FAQs and tips guided me through setting up and customizing my watch. In a few words, the Suunto 7 is very easy to use, and the support is great. The durability of this product is outstanding. The casing is solid and attractive, and the display is sharp and crisp. The rubber strap is very comfortable and fits my small wrist, unlike my Suunto 5 band on which I could never seem to find the right hole to keep it from slipping. The magnetic charger is a nice upgrade. What I like most about the Suunto 7 is that it is both a smart watch and a sports watch. Before, I only used my Suunto 5 when working out, but now I wear the Suunto 7 all the time. The watch is far from feminine and fancy, but it is attractive and functional, providing social media notifications as well as access to Google Pay, music, and apps. Admittedly, my household is all Apple, so on occasion, I have been frustrated at my inability to cross platforms on this watch. However, living with an Apple watch owner, I will attest that this watch is MUCH more durable. I can best describe it as brain meeting brawn. I have tested this watch while mountain biking, cross biking, hiking, and walking in the Northeast in spring-like conditions and mild winter temperatures. I appreciate the touch screen, yet when I am wearing gloves, the button option is still available to access menus. There over 70 sports modes as well as a heart rate monitor, GPS, and altimeter. Like all Suunto watches, it automatically syncs with Strava and other third-party fitness apps. Suunto claims a battery life of up to 12 hours in GPS tracking mode, but I am hard pressed to make it through a long afternoon of mountain biking. I have ridden the same trails wearing my Suunto 5, and it barely strained the 5's battery. On a long day with the Suunto 7, I will also run Strava on my cell phone to be sure I am able to gather data, thus defeating the purpose purchasing a sports watch. Suunto offers several battery saving tips which save battery life but tend to be inconvenient. I want a watch that will have great battery life without needing to be tweaked all of the time. This is the downside of having both a backlit smart watch and a sports watch. There are several things I miss from the Suunto 5, including the lack of customization of sport modes and the inability to download routes. Additionally, the necessity to download apps to get the functionality of the other Suunto GPS watches baffles me. I am not sure why Suunto did not build it in like they did in their other models. Overall, I like this watch. I recommend it for somebody who wants both a smart watch and a BASIC GPS/sports watch, yet does not need watch performance for LONG hours of fitness tracking. Also, if you are looking to customize your sports modes, use sensors, track your sleep, and other Suunto watch options, this watch is not for you. Final words: The battery life is abysmal in GPS mode, which is what I primarily use it for.

Worst Suunto product.

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I was really hopeful about this device and bought it on pre-order. My disappointment may be due to the fact that this watch just isn't made for what I wanted: A backcountry navigation tool with some smartwatch functionality. It is completely and wildly inaccurate. Climb and descent logging is THOUSANDS feet off over 10 miles. HR data is just as variable. The included SUUNTO app is OK and has prepackaged metric for fitness tracking BUT... there are no basic ABC functions outside of those in active activities. You really can't just check a barometric trend or altimeter reading. Unless of course you start down the 3rd party route via the Google Play/App Store route and futz with watch faces and complications which drain the battery roughly 2x as fast. The battery life is abyssmal. I can make it through a day or so with basic stuff like the stock watchface and normal bluetooth notifications. But here's the really crappy part about this "Fitness" watch. Tracking using GPS burns through about the entire battery in less than 4 hours. Speaking of tracking.... It does a fine job of tracking, and I was very excited about the map functions. Suunto heatmaps are fun and all, but there is no good way to load a map or route and then follow that route. You can do that with the suunto app on your phone, but then again... you don't even need the watch to do that. WearOS provides solutions like ViewRanger. Which is great! It displays a big plain arrow on the screen guiding you to the next waypoint. Love it! But with that you can expect about 2 hrs of battery life. The last straw for me was the recent update that included a "handwashing timer" baked into the clock app. This nags you to wash your hands every 45 minutes or so. This is dismissable, but it is a feature that NOBODY ASKED FOR. It can't be uninstalled. I even tried to hack it via command line and ADB. It's in there to stay. So... in summary. This watch disappoints in every way that I wanted to love it. This is the first time I have left a negative review. Ever. If you want a WearOS smartwatch that says SUUNTO on it, if you need a step counter, and maybe some sort of indoor, gym fitness tracker this might work for you, but there are much cheaper devices that do that better. Buy a SUUNTO 9 or a Garmin Fenix if you are looking for actual data that you can use for training or backcountry decision-making.

I was given this product from Backcountry, but this review is my personal opinion. The Good: Two devices in one, smartwatch and GPS sport watch; Suunto app has tons of sports/activities options preloaded; Touchscreen display is bright and clear and function buttons work well with positive feedback/touch; Magnetic charger; Changing bands is super easy and takes about 30sec, no tools required;Comfortable;Customizable. The Less Good:Large size for smaller wrists; Can?t reply/send Apple SMS iMessage, only view; HR recorded every 15sec slower than other watches; No sensor compatibility; Price $$$. Things I would change: Swapped out the stock band for the SUUNTO 24MM EXPLORE 2 TEXTILE STRAP (Personal pref. for cloth over rubber); Auto pause feature during workouts like in Strava. The Suunto 7 is an intuitive and well built tool that would be a great choice for the person who wants one watch to wear all the time and take everywhere... as long as there is power to charge. The watch is sharp with clean styling and a sporty look that’s not too tactical. The large face size was a little intimidating but I hardly noticed it after a couple days and the backlit display is super clear/easy to read casually at a glance and during workouts. The slim profile and lay flat design is more like a traditional watch than so many thick, bracelet type sport watches that hold their curled up shape when not on the wrist. Setup was simple, straightforward and only took about 5 minutes. Tutorials on the Suunto website for help. Very early on I did have a frustrating issue with GPS locating. After a recent trip (remember when we could still travel?) GPS showed I was still in Mexico instead of home in Colorado. I ended up doing a full reset after multiple reboots and failed sync attempts. Not sure what happened but haven’t had problems since. Suunto bills the 7 more of a lifestyle fitness watch balancing essential features of both smartwatch and GPS sports watch, and IMO they nailed it. I am no smartwatch expert nor am I a person who needs every text, call, email and notification to buzz on my wrist, but I appreciate the function and can easily dial in preferences to get (and feel) only what I want. The ability to quickly change settings based on activity is key and Suunto/Google Wear OS does better than expected. I know this is basic, but for someone new to this kind of device/platform, customization is refreshingly simple. I also like sleep/do not disturb and airplane modes for when I want to tune out or conserve battery. There has been a lot of negativity around battery life and it can be an issue. Tweaking what apps and features I use and how I use them makes a big difference, but turning WiFi or GPS costs basic functionality of the watch. It is hard to consistently see the claimed 2 day life with normal° use, and even the stated 12hr life with GPS enabled feels like a stretch IMO. It does charge quickly, so it is not too much of a pain if I need a boost. Suunto makes optimization recommendations but in the end it is trial and error for what works for you. Power Saver that lasts a claimed 40 days on a full charge is a non-starter, but if it gets critically low (below ~1 or 2%) Power Saver auto turns on giving basic date and time functions for around another 24hrs in my experience. It may now only be a watch, but it tells time better than a dead device. The Suunto phone app leaves some to be desired but that will likely improve. Sport modes cannot be customized, but there are over 70 options to chose from. There is even a dancing option for all the freakers by the speakers. Except for initial snags with GPS (that could have been operator error), first impressions and experiences have been great. If you’re itching for that ONE fitness watch to wear everywhere, all the time and have the $cratch to make it happen, give the Suunto 7 a serious look.

A Watch for Techies

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I received this Suunto watch about a month and a half ago. Aesthetically, it looks really awesome. It is a tad big for my lady wrists, but if you like the trendy look of having an oversized watch or if you have bigger wrists this is a great fit. I also liked the size because I could easily see the watch face on the go, and the backlighting is much better compared to previous models. The touch screen is highly sensitive, accurate, and easy to use on the go - better than smartphones or other smart watches out there. Like all Suunto watches, the mapping feature is the best thing going. As an all Apple user for my phones, cloud, computers, calendars, etc, I found the Google Wear OS to be prohibitive and cumbersome. I could not fully use all of the features of the watch because don?t have my life in Google, but the watch doesn?t give you an option to skip Google Wear OS. I wish there was a way to use this watch, and skip Google Wear OS. I would give this watch a 5 star rating, but Google Wear takes it down a star for me.
