The Suunto 7 is pretty bulky as a smartwatch, but the combination of Suunto's specific fitness features with the trappings of Wear OS could make for a great device for a wide variety of users...

We've only spent a brief amount of time with the Suunto 7, but we like what we've seen so far. The design of the watch feels good and the sporting functions appear to be wide-ranging, although we've not had a chance to test the performance of any of the s...
The Suunto 7 looks promising but, as ever with Android Wear smartwatches, whether it will challenge Garmin's seemingly unassailable position at the top of the high-end sports tracking wearables tree remains to be seen.The fact that Suunto is making full u...

It's good to see this update, as well as of course the recent Suunto 5/9 updates a few weeks ago. The three new tiles are a good blend of things that both athletes and non-athletes would find useful, which, is sorta the mantra for the Suunto 7 – trying to...

Ultimately – the functionality as implemented worked well, aside from the lack of notifications. It's a good step forward for Suunto, and having the underlying maps there makes it look pretty nice. You can see above that there is additional data in the ma...

I was initially excited about the prospects of a Wear OS based Suunto watch. Sure, it'd come with all the baggage of Wear OS battery life and other Wear OS quirks, but it'd also fill a huge (and growing) gap in Suunto's lineup on how to compete with other...
Durable, high-end design, Solid performance, Accurate GPS and heart rate sensors, Plenty of workout modes and health features, Two-day battery life
Activity metrics split up between Suunto app and Google Fit, Incompatible with external HR sensors, Wear OS has limitations that hinder the overall experience, Too pricey for the feature set
The Suunto 7 is a solid first effort as a full-fledged smartwatch, but I'm not convinced going with Wear OS was the right move. There are software limitations that make the Suunto 7 feel less like a traditional GPS fitness watch, and the lack of external...

I have used a few dedicated sportswatches in my time but most of them have lacked the smart capabilities. The Suunto 7 offers the best of both worlds. Not only can it perform nearly all functions that you would expect a sports watch to do but it looks gre...

The Suunto is well-made time-piece that gives the user access to a fully fledged smartwatch with a sturdy health and fitness platform. However the battery is a little low, especially if you exercise a lot or use the GPS. I'm also confused as to the juggl...
