I’m having problems with charging my SV since the last update, never had any issues before that. Currently whenever I plug it in it either: Does absolutely nothing at all Shows the battery percentage as if it’s charging, but then nothing happens and it doesn’t charge Beeps like crazy and goes absolutely mental I can usually get it to charge as normal after a few ‘Power Off’ and a handful of soft resets. I’ve never seen this charging issue mentioned here which seems odd, anyhow I’m realy hoping that this will be rectified sooner rather than later. FWIW I usually charge at the start of the month and then again mid month

@neonix If you read here and there, I think that next update will have its core in navigation. I would also like to see, as you, some peak, lake,… names as reference. Regarding automatic reverse route, it has been there since the Spartan Ultra and once you use it you will see that you do not need any option, it works really well. One thing that I see that Garmin has and would be very nice to have is some routing in the watch, I mean, I do not want to plan my route in the watch but some times you are doing one route and for some reason you need to cut it and return to the starting point or some known spot and with Garmin you can plan the shortest route in the watch, with Suunto you need the app for that with cell coverage (with offline maps in the app could be doable in Suunto without cell coverage) BTW, I do not not know if you know it but a nice feature in Suunto is that you can change routes mid activity and send them from the app to the watch mid activity too.

@Frederick-Rochette You can find instructions here in the Forum on how to install previous FW. However, I contacted support and in order to fix the problem I did: Installed previous FW (the one before December). Didn’t solve the issue. Factory reset. First treadmill session after was normal but problem come back on from second run on. Installed the latest FW version, the one released this February (the fix of the bad one from December). Initially didn’t change anything. However, several treadmill sessions later, the watch is now working correctly again (detecting the correct pace in a treadmill session). So, no idea of what’s going on here.

@Hristijan-Petreski I’m looking forward to seeing what Suunto has coming up for the Vertical. I do really like the watch so far.

@sartoric so how do I interpret the active calories in the daily summary? I always thought the active calories should match the workout calories plus add regular walking / higher hr than rest.

@Ollipolli Do you have screenshots of the/ your activities that show different values? It’s supposed to be fixed weeks ago and for me the values match/ are identical between SA and Strava.

@inkognito It may be that for specific instances it does not reverse or that where start and finish are matter. I typically do out and back on the weekend without issues. When testing I will fail to reach the destination and start back along the path I came. After some time 5 min or so the route profile will flip, typically after the map shows the new direction.

@Steven-Vanlancker said in Choosing Suunto?: @mikekoski490 Thanks! I did the comparison. Seems most is the same, maps and battery life stands out. Now see if that’s worth 450. The SPP9 is indeed a beauty The stainless steel Vertical can be found for 540€: https://www.sport-conrad.com/en/products/suunto/vertical.html

@Jonathan-Schwarz Suunto … unfortunately I will not become a new user of your ecosystem. It’s no longer about the individual watch type, but that you don’t fix basic things.

@pilleus awesome, thank you!

@enriqueescoms there is a trade off using on a bike vs. Run. But, I agree it needs improvement.

@Kramble no, I haven’t heard anything, so I assume they’re still constantly optimising the weather service function.

The black grid that shows for a little can also be a system load / cache issue so a soft reset if it helps points to that

@Mauerwegler with all my respect, we can laugh about everything, but not with everyone. We are not mocking people nor their problems, we are making generic humour. Watch design is unique, humankind wrists are not. Sorry if it is not funny for you. PS : i have such wrist which is not equal to Suunto’s design, my SV is “hurting” me as well, but my wife’s sometime as well, i can’t return it/her neither PS2 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm [image: 1727357197288-f9d77c00-2850-4053-9f3c-fd8b70fbe4ca-image.png]

@gone-troppo weird, because I did not. Only for running.

@Brad_Olwin Of course, a lot of what you say is correct. And thank you again for your commitment. However, it is also the case that Suunto does not have good communication. I know this much better from Coros, for example. Take a look at the comments on FB, Insta… sometimes the exact same errors are posted there and the users are annoyed… I also know that people are more likely to share bad experiences than good ones. We’re not talking about hardware problems like bubbles on the HRM sensor or something similar. These are actually isolated cases… We’re talking about software bugs… and in the case of software or memory problems, a bug fix after 6 months isn’t exactly a good service. Of course, developers and programmers need usable data. Maybe the key or the solution lies here… where you can report problems more easily. I think the forum here is great and I’m grateful for all the tips you get here. However, this forum is probably unknown to the masses and the users are here because they are looking for help. So the user is looking for help and can only get it here With Coros, for example, you can upload videos about your problem via Facebook Messenger. There was feedback and the most important thing was an update or bug fix every 1 to 2 months. There is no transparent feedback from Suunto itself “we are working on it” it is known” So no offense… in my case I have now done a factory reset and completely new furnished. I hope this makes my problem a thing of the past…

I checked. It is well corrected with last FW update 2.33.12. No delay. Same values in watch and app. Discussion can be closed i think. Good job Suunto team !

I will love to have multiple alarms, and also the possibility to change the snooze period, but I’m not going to sell my watch for lacking those features. I think, these kind of minor issues, are not deal breakers, but are daily frictions that after long time can make you not so happy Happy weekend!!!

Ambit was best Suunto series in my optinion. I has Ambit 2s for a long time. I really miss it. Only drawback was missing bluetooth.

@Brad_Olwin i have tested with notification ON, route to follow loaded but map not displayed, performance mode, no S+ app and no backlight. I have analyzed the FIT file and i can estimate a battery life between 70h and 79h after a 9h race. It was sunny.
