@Squirrel Fair enough for bluetooth data sharing and weather and watch faces. The hotspot Im reffering to my laptop HAS connectivity to the internet because is the same 2.4GHz hotspot I use to connect my phone and download the offline map to my phone so the hotspot is actually healthy and working. I can actually see connected devices to the hotspot in my case both my phone OnePlus and the actual watch with device name Suunto-FCC6. Now the solution you are proposing (which I have tested) is problematic with my suunto app on my phone because I have created the 2.4GHz hotspot to my phone and I have tested it’s connectivity with another device(its discoverable and seen by another Xiaomi phone connecting and surfing). After I established the healthy and working hotspot on my phone I went to the proposed suunto app network list to add it to the watch BUT it’s not there it’s not “seen” by the suggested networks list of the Suunto App… Finaly after 2 days of trying tonight 18.09.2026 at 08:58 pm the suunto servers responded and downloaded with the exact same Laptop 2.4GHz hotspot connection … now I know it was a service unavailability problem or issue with the greek maps or issue with requests made from greece or who knows what … Thank the universe I managed to download because the moderator approval time is about 12hours which makes any communication slow and frustrating…

@ChristopheRamon even without the climb guidance zoom levels, you can’t add “Ascent to Waypoint” as a data field on the V1 which would be enormously helpful.

@AxelG no offense, but this is the worst: Saying everything is fine without providing the steps you have taken. Maybe it will help another user?

@Efejota said: The soliution could be to have both This is what I do. 9PP for daily wear and everyday activities. SV1 for bigger adventures when I want mapping and extra battery life. I also have small wrists. And although I wore the SV1 daily for more than a year, I “downgraded” to the 9PP for the comfort and simplicity. It’s easy enough to switch between watches in the Suunto App. I think the Vertical is a steal at current sale prices. I’d say go for it and keep your 9PP as well. They may be the last MIP watches Suunto ever produces.

I bring back this thread to life There is not much feedback with varia app. I’m considering buying a varia 820. On bike I use my Vertical has bike computer. My questions : has someone tested it with the app (which is supposed to work with varia 515 but no informations with 820) does you need to be on app screen to have the warnings or you can stay on a data screen or guidance screen and the warnings are displayed above ? Thanks if someone has been using the app and have feedback !

@Tami999 said: As I used Vertical Ti in past I enjoyed more Titanium more than Solar:D That was my point. Titanium look is so great.

@gonzosurfer what happened finally??? Did you fix it?

@Jesús-LP there have been recently some issues with climb guidance, that should have been solved. We just have to wait for the next App update https://forum.suunto.com/post/196697

@Iggge Yes it works with Vertical. I just started to use Engo 2 photocromatic. Easy to check compatibility. In case you can install ActiveLook sport app to your watch in MySuuntoPlus Engo 2 will connect. [image: 1787986017789-b0377319-4a2e-4c04-a3c3-76bf8d397101-image.jpeg]

@runomatic Hi, did that over the night, still autoscroll upper button. Meanwhile I got pushed the setting “restore the watch…?”, now the watch is stuck and changing between "the device is being restored in a safe mode " and “this is taking longer than expected, thank you for being patient”. In both visuals there is loading bar which is never running through fully. Than blackscreen and then alternating “safe mode” or “taking longer”. Super fustrating

Maybe, they could fix the firmware just to get live tracking app functional again.

@adri12240 If you confirm that this activity has all data visible in your watch logbook, you can safely delete it from your Suunto App, and then logout and login again. It will resync. If still not OK with logout, uninstall app and resintall. Be under good phone network connection and all should be fine (even if theorically not mandatory, but…)

I may have found a related issue with my Suunto Vertical + Stryd setup. My setup: Suunto Vertical, firmware 2.50.28 Stryd paired as Foot POD GPS OFF Foot POD auto-calibration OFF I performed a controlled test on the same measured section of approximately 208–210 m. At easy pace, Suunto recorded: 206 m 211 m At faster pace, on exactly the same section: 348 m 289 m 281 m 290 m Stryd was also recording independently in its internal memory. The Stryd Offline Sync data looks normal and does not show the same distance inflation. I sent both the Stryd Offline FIT and the Suunto FIT to Stryd Support. After reviewing the activity, Stryd Support told me that Suunto was receiving Stryd data such as power/cadence, but was not using Stryd as the source for pace/distance. Since GPS was disabled, Stryd Support said that wrist movement was the source of pace/distance in the Suunto activity. I have already tried a soft reset and re-pairing Stryd, with no change. Suunto Support also has the logs, both FIT files and screenshots and is investigating the issue. This seems quite similar to the pairing/data-source behaviour discussed earlier in this thread. Has anyone with a Vertical + Stryd setup tested whether pace/distance really comes from Stryd when GPS is OFF? I would be very interested to know whether this is reproducible on other Vertical watches or specific to my setup.

I’m experiencing severe battery drain. It’s happening only if I wear the watch. If the watch is static, there is no drain. The HR is turned off at all times.

@Elipsus no worries at all about the language — I saw a few posts in French on other threads so I didn’t immediately realize this particular forum/section is English-only. Sorry about that, happy to continue in English from here. Regarding the full discharge/recharge cycle: I actually already tried this exact process a week ago, based on advice I found in another forum thread. Unfortunately it didn’t change anything for me, the drain rate went right back to the same level afterward. I have been considering sending the watch in for service, but it’s no longer under warranty — which is honestly what frustrates me most about this. The watch is barely two years old, and this issue only appeared after a software update, not from any wear or misuse on my end. Has anyone had luck getting Suunto to acknowledge this as a software-side issue rather than treating it as a standard out-of-warranty repair?

@isazi LOL! Damn you Jay!
