@NicDup and one thing that hasn’t been mentioned here is that the algorithm is very sensitive about the HR and GPS data quality. Any glitch will result in the measurement not to be updated. While running you need to have HR up in certain zones for some 15 minutes or more. I am not providing any specifics because what I heard from Suunto Support is not in line with the field testers’ instructions here in this forum. I have had Vertical for a year now and I never seen VO2max yet. But it’s just probably me being too fat and unable to run 15 minutes in Z4-Z5… And up here in north we have worse GPS coverage and we are experiencing radio signal interference from Mordor.

@Franki no, es no es configurable.

@gone-troppo This is not the normal behavior… I would contact the support

@isazi holding out for the espresso maker controlled from a complication.

@herlas Cheers

@VoiGAS Agree, it is working with tbt enabled. Great, Thanks.

@Brad_Olwin Okay. I thought screen is same size and Vertical is a little more bit fat from what i remember :P. Even if i take off glasses, MIP of Vertical is perfect for me. Rarely I cant read anything on this watch. Its good both in dark and sun

@MiniForklift Same here. There’s another thread going on: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/12183/software-update-2-39-20-2024-q4/507

@2b2bff I’ve reported it to Suunto

@ilker enjoy your watch : )

@Batuhan-Kaya I’ve heard the issue has been resolved

most likely not a bug, but watch face adapted to the Vertical’s display

Deleted - unfortunate double post

@Brad_Olwin with Stryd that’s work very well but not with the power include on SV. The algorithm doesn’t take into account the ascent and descents. Hope that will change soon…

@Ivan-Šimek Myslím, že angličtina by pro tohle fórum byla lepší;)

The other observation I forgot to add was wrist based power this is only consistent per activity and cannot be transferred from trail running uphill to flat running for example. You can only set one ftp either for flat running or uphill running if you wish to see your power zones accurately. Going uphill vertical kilometre zone 4 effort near threshold will produce low 200 watt range power for me . A simple zone 1 road run flat road will produce 260 watt power. I still love my suunto vertical please don’t get me wrong I’m not attacking suunto, actually I’m a staunch suunto defender at all times. I just tend to get to the bottom of things and test everything. And I’m sure these findings apply across all brands if tested enough

@isazi This is what I do

@Brad_Olwin … the ‘Progress’ part of the App that appears in the top left hand corner (iOS)

@Egika said in Turn off touchscreen: @Max-maxilifeguard would be an easy solution - but is not there. And has been asked for, by some people for a long time. it’s a pity

@BrunoH Thanks for putting these thoughts down. Good realistic perspective. Cheers.
