GPS enables global positioning, useful in map, geo-tagging or navigation apps.
A heart rate monitor can help show your fitness levels, enabling you to calculate a suitable intensity of exercise.
Your blood oxygen level is a measurement how much oxygen is reaching your muscles. It is important because low levels mean that you will become easily fatigued during exercise. The more exercise you do, the better your blood oxygen levels will become.
This measures barometric air pressure. It can predict weather changes, for example a sudden drop in air pressure could mean a storm is coming. When calibrated correctly it can be used to determine altitude, which helps GPS devices to lock on quicker and with greater accuracy.
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
A compass is useful for gaming, maps, and navigation software.
With a temperature sensor you can monitor changes in temperature to measure your exertion levels and avoid hyperthermia.
A cadence sensor measures the number of pedal revolutions per minute when you are cycling. It enables you to monitor how fast you are pedaling.
A gyroscope is a sensor that tracks the orientation of a device, more specifically by measuring the angular rotational velocity. Initially, they were built using a spinning rotor to detect changes in orientation, like twisting or rotation.

I bought the product and used it for a running year (+6000km). The product was disappointing from the first use, the only good thing about it is its nice design. Everything else, including Suunto's customer service, was pitiful. They even made me pay to test the watch battery that was malfunctioning. I will not be buying from Suunto again and will go straight back to Garmin's 945.

Teleurstellend product. Niet voor sportgebruik.

Product ziet er mooi uit, maar is niet geschikt voor sportief gebruik o.b.v. hartslagmeting. De hartslagmeter op de pols is zeer onnauwkeurig. Heeft lange aanlooptijd nodig om op de juiste frequentie te komen. Vaak met intervaltraining onbruikbaar. Intervaltraining opties zijn alleen handmatig te gebruiken, niet van tevoren in te stellen op tijd of afstand. Daardoor ben je te veel met het horloge bezig i.p.v. sporten. Batterijduur is zeer kort max 24 uur. Customerservice is het zwakke punt van Suunto. Voornamelijk digitale communicatie met weinig empathie. De Suunto 7 is geen aanrader om aan te schaffen. Je bent qua smartwatch en sportwatch combi dan toch beter af met een Applewatch en apps.
