My Top Three Suunto 7 Features

Updated: May 23, 2022

After having used the Suunto 7 Smartwatch for the past 6 months, it’s time to share my thoughts.


We all know the main features, attractions and uses of Suunto Sport Watches, so I won’t be covering the basics. Instead, I’ll be discussing my three personal favourite things about the Suunto 7 - and they might not quite be what you’d expect.


Let’s get into it.


1. Google Assistant


This comes in first as it’s my favourite aspect of the watch, without a doubt.


I’m quite a fan of “smart living” and automising your life. The simplest iteration of this comes in the form of smart bulbs, smart switches and smart plugs. Sure, I’ve set up multiple routines and conditions for when something should operate, but sometimes I like/need to change things up.


Now, I do it all from my watch.


Turn on the lights, turn down the brightness, change the colour of this room, turn on the heater, turn off the kitchen lights at my mom’s house (that’s just for fun) etc.



Operating your home appliances from your watch is not only convenient, but it also makes you feel like James Bond, which is probably the best part about it.


Of course, there’s more to it than just that. Sitting at my desk I can ask my watch how to spell “logorrhea” or “manoeuvre” and other extremely challenging words. I can ask if the shops are open, how long it’ll take me to get there, what the weather is like or to simply start a timer, do some maths or convert units.


There are even more fun ones, such as learning a fun fact or playing a game with Google.
