Hallo, please contact suunto official support, it might be a hardware issue.

@Hexa62 Wow. Nice!!

@joacoastete I sometimes have the same with my S9. Honestly, I’m not sure that the watch is at fault, perhaps it’s just the vertical analogue of the coastal paradox:

If you want to make sure the altitude is correct, you could go the same route a few more times to at least check if it’s consistent.

@Jan-Van-de-Velde Welcome in our suunto community.
I share most of your remarks and I can say they are spread in several different posts in this forum already. Let’s hope this will get read and suunto developers will decide to address some.

@Smuk_007 please notice that this is a user forum. Suunto company representatives are following the discussion in here, but will not give any comments. Some users know more about what is being developed , but they must keep their mouths shut.

Remarks:

Many have requested the same for a long time. I see this as a teeny-weeny minor flaw considering my personal preferences why I chose this brand and model. Nothing to fix. Suunto Vertical does not use SuuntoLink. Vertical syncs the activities and AGPS-files with Suunto App using bluetooth and the maps and firmware updates come over wifi when connected to the charger. Sorry, no idea. I don’t use custom modes.

Suggestions

Good idea! I hope they will pick up this suggesstion. The map is always there for outdoor sports modes. This is the way!

@Stijn There is a dedicated sportmode “windsurfing” in both watch and app. What exactly are you looking for in terms of datafields?

There’s a cloud of mystery around the algorithms. Suunto is not telling anything except this clause in their online documentation that VO2max estimate will appear after any run or walk longer that 15 mins. Later on when you do more exercises the number should get more accurate.

Previously they were using FirstBeat algorithm and it was a known fact that hiking or trekking was not optimal for the calculation, the result would be more reliable on flat terrain. Many people were criticising why VO2maz was enabled for trekking at all.

Now that we got the update we know even less. I am not aware if it is available for trekking at all.

My own experiences are just awful. Before this week’s update I had a crash and my watch lost completely VO2max estimate. Now it is not appearing anymore no matter what I do. I’ve done flat terrain runs and forest walks, long ones and short ones and VO2max just fails to appear. I am planning on doing a factory reset next.

Good catch. I’m not sure if anyone of power is tracking these, but I’ve been trying to post small UI bugs in the SW update topic here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/9732/software-release-2-30-26/190?_=1700569982085

Can’t hurt to point them out, I guess. Perhaps they’ll be addressed if we get a hotfix for some of the “real” bugs.

@Andres-Linares I didn’t know that there is Jump Rope. I will test it soon but I saw that there is activated Suunto + (Movement) by default. Did you test it without S+?

@Kraisun-Tunta
might be a temporary situation (or not, i don’t know), but probably due to this https://forum.suunto.com/post/132328
or this

@Daniel-Z-0 You can try to clean it in warm water. If that doesn’t help, I suggest you contact Suunto support.

@Mff73 Great suggestion!

I bought an NPE WYUR

And it “just works” bridging between my vertical and the crank.
