Review on SUUNTO Smartwatch Matte Black Titanium by Antonio Taveras

I've been waiting for a great Google Wear watch for a long time. And above all, the Suunto 7 looks fantastic. This is a great watch with great style. The user interface looks great and Wear works very well. Unfortunately it all ends here. Biggest issue is battery life, this thing sucks battery life. I had it charged to 100% in the morning, went to the gym for an hour with the Suunto activity tracker. When I finished and returned home, the battery was at 79%. At the end of the day I had 20%. This is because the screen isn't on all the time, and the watch doesn't use any other functionality other than just staying on as a watch for the rest of the day. It might not have been an absolute deal breaker, although it sucks to think about skiing for more than an hour or doing anything else. This is made worse by the fact that steps cannot be properly tracked. I've kept my Fitbeat while using this and they vary significantly and the Suunto is very low. Suunto's features also seem very buggy. They tend to turn off or just freeze at odd times. Watch faces freeze in "do not show details" mode or freeze completely even when you want the watch to turn off. All of this combined was too much for me to keep on a $500 watch that doesn't perform as well as my $100 Fitbit. For that I am sending it back which is a shame as I wanted to love this watch.
