The Suunto 7 is the company's first WearOS smartwatch, and it's made to attract Suunto's hardcore fans, and appeal to newcomers with its lifestyle-driven look.
Comprehensive fitness features ; Two-day battery life ; Smooth performance and software ; Hard-wearing, water resistant case
Annoying buttons can frustrate ; Expensive compared to the competition ; Only best for dedicated fitness fans

We used the new Suunto 7 Black smartwatch for a couple of weeks to test the plethora of features it has on offer. It is easy to say that the new Suunto smartwatch in India is a cut above the rest. Here is why.
Extremely durable built ; Feature loaded ; Offline navigation
Complicated operation ; Average battery life ; Too costly for regular use

Over the coming days Suunto will roll-out a new update for the Suunto 7 which adds the ability to follow a course/route on the Suunto 7 app. Of course, with the watch being Wear OS based, there were other apps that could do such a feat previously, but...

Let's get this out of the way right from the first line: The Suunto 7 is both the best smartwatch they've ever made, while concurrently being the worst sport watch they've ever made. Fear not though, you don't have to take my word for it – by the end...

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...
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

GPS watches geared towards sports and the great outdoors have existed long before today's smart wearables. Garmin and Suunto are namesakes in that category with the latter today announcing its first Wear OS device. The Suunto 7 is very much aimed at...

Suunto's first Wear OS smartwatch is a fine one let down by some familiar problems.
Good quality screen and light design Well integrated mapping features Plenty of fitness metrics
Battery life is average Heart rate accuracy isn’t great Titanium version feels expensive
The Suunto 7 is a likeable smartwatch based on what Suunto brings to the party. It offers reliable sports tracking experience on the whole, but there’s some familiar problems that do ultimately let it down. Like unreliable heart rate monitoring and the...

Is the Suunto 7 a smartwatch, a running watch, a fitness tracker or maybe all of them?
Expert review by : Chris Hall (pocket-lint.com)
The company's first foray into Google's Wear OS makes for a more smarts-focused sportswatch. But does its running of multiple systems make sense?
Accurate tracking ; Good battery life in exercise tracking ; Comfortable to wear ; Great display ; Offline mapping ; Google Pay
Expensive ; No route guidance ; Maps a bit disconnected ; Exercise and lifestyle tracking use different systems
With good battery life from a Google Wear OS watch, the Suunto 7 is off to a good start. But it's expensive and some of the features seem at odds with their potential.

The Suunto 7 is a smartwatch aimed at those who exercise outdoors, and with Wear OS support, it's more than a simple fitness tracker.
