Suunto Vertical is here

@Hristijan-Petreski why would you connect 2 hr straps at the same time? The logic is that if you have more than 1 he strap, you don’t always have to keep unpairing-repairing ones you want to use.

Well, there is a sport called horseback riding.
One HR belt for rider, one HR belt for horse…

@altcmd well I ride a Tandem bicycle with my girlfriend, I’ve thought it would be good to keep an eye on her HR while we’re riding (as well as mine) to make sure she’s also doing her part
so two belts at once would make sense! -

@jakubdr I have done most of R2R2R in the Grand Canyon with the Vertical and a couple of races as well as long SkiMo days. I live in Colorado where there is a lot of sun. The battery life for me often exceeds the life Suunto claims. With maps on a significant amount of time I get at least the claimed battery life.
As you noted with Garmin, the battery life is severely affected by maps. I did not know this and had an Epix2 for 8 or 9 months before I sold it. To get their claimed battery life you could not use maps. You will be pleased with the battery, I have a hard time believing the battery estimates I am getting. -

But why you don’t connect your wife’s HR belt with your phone?

@zhang965 I think the horse should get it‘s own watch! Perhaps there are also wristbands for xxl wrists…

Polar has horse hr belt, so it supposed to be the rider reads horse’s HR.

I’ve just seen this : https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/comments/13fk40x/cha_cha_cha_best_of_luck_to_käärijä_in_his/
If that’s a feature, I’m buying the Vertical ASAP.

@taziden someone is showing experimental apps capabilities I guess

Doom demo app or we riot

I’m a bit worried about the black steel vertical :
I have the S9 peak all black and it has a lot of scratch where the plack paint went out on the bezel .
Could it be the same with the steel Vertical? Could it be better with the titanium vertical ?
Thanks a lot for all this info ! -
@Kramble for sure titanium version will be a bit less sensible to scratches…but anyway I would conclude this way : If your suunto doesn’t have sratches, push harder and bring it further. It is an adventure device !
-
I’m reading some comments on Des review and I’m like … What ?!
just a sample
“I just don't find it to be a good value in comparison to the Garmin Fenix 7 Solar Sapphire, at least in GBP. The Suunto is more expensive without all the features of the Garmin, which is also a tried and tested product” -
@Kramble if both metals are painted over, paint is very likely the same, hence your experience will be similar.
-
@Tieutieu
I’m sorry, I’m just not getting tired of Anton’s benchmark of “when does a watch look used”
@Kramble
my S9B titanium did last relatively long without scratches on the bezel, maybe because of resistant coating? but of course if you use the watch as intended it will eventually get a nice adventurous and sporty patina
my assumption is that it will be less noticeable in the titanium version
-
@freeheeler The nice thing about titanium is it usually is not painted. It may scratch but light scratches can buff out easily. And of course hypoallergenic, lighter and rustproof. I find over time it ages better than steel watches.
I like that Suunto put the notches into the bezel in areas that usually get the most knocks - should camouflage them a bit.
-
@mikekoski490
I haven’t seen the Vertical solar ti yet in real, but from the pics I get the impression it has at least a surface treatment, maybe coating. but raw titanium does look different IMO.
but in general it is as you say

Is it so that with the current maps implementation the routes do not provide turn-by-turn notifications? If so, I am a little confused as with other Suunto watches without maps, the routes are navigable but because Vertical has maps, the routes, which might be navigable in, say 9PP, may not be so in Vertical. Is this true?

Somehow you are confusing “following a route with turn-by-turn indications”(every suunto watch does it, including the Vertical), and “routable maps”.
With the vertical you can off course follow a route and get turn-by-turn informations, with the huge advantage to have the maps as a background.
But you can’t go on the map to put a waypoint on it for example, and ask the watch to calculate the itinerary. That’s what a “routable map” would do.
Itineraries/routes/waypoint for navigation have to be prepared on the app and send to the watch.
(concerning this point I have read that with the vertical it seems to be possible to synchronise new waypoints even during a current exercice ? => It would be great but I’m not certain it is so… )
