Suunto 7 Smart Watch Review

The Suunto 7 is a full-fledged smartwatch, but I'm not persuaded that using Wear OS was the best decision. The Suunto 7 has software constraints that make it feel less like a standard GPS fitness watch, and the lack of compatibility for external heart rate sensors may irritate many Suunto fans.

I'll be recommending the Suunto 7 left and right after Suunto fixes a few software issues and possibly lowers the price.

The Suunto 7 resembles a GPS sports watch more than any other Wear OS device. It's large – perhaps too large for many people. For my average-sized wrists, the 50mm case is about the maximum I'd go. Fortunately, at 70g, it's not too heavy.

However, the entire experience has a high-end feel to it. The case's polyamide material is durable and pleasant, and the side buttons are clicky and easy to locate. The strap is fantastic. It didn't get caught on my clothes, and the texture on the outside is one of my favorites.

Around the watch case are four buttons. The home/all applications button is on the top-left, the non-programmable Suunto app button is on the top-right, and the other two are both programmable. Wear OS would benefit greatly with a rotatable crown, but the Suunto 7 does not have one.

The watch is thus size due to two factors: the display and the battery. The AMOLED display on the 1.39-inch model is excellent. The colors are vibrant, and the size allows for easy reading of notifications.

Suunto 7 Technical Specifications

There are 70 sports modes in total, with activities like boxing, obstacle racing, dancing and kettlebell workouts covered too. You won’t be able to track jabs or kettlebell swings, but you will be able to track heart rate and workout duration.

You have the option to download maps for offline use. So once you create that map up to a maximum of 50km, it’ll be downloaded when you drop the watch back on its charger and the watch is connected to Wi-Fi. They’re nice detailed maps to follow and are definitely one of the highlight features on the Suunto 7.

In the Suunto companion app, there’s a rich amount of data to delve into. You can explore your fitness and fatigue levels, calorie burns. Suunto now also lets you track things like step counts and sleep monitoring instead of relying on Google Fit. Step counts in general were in line with Garmin’s fitness tracking.

The Suunto 7 is the first time Suunto has decided to look outside of its own software to essentially bring in the smartwatch features it hasn’t really offered on its own watches. If you favour the look of a hulking watch case but don’t want the extra weight that usually goes with it, the titanium version of the Suunto 7 should definitely appeal.
