Suunto Vertical is here

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.

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… )

I can already do this even on my Spartan

Ok…I tought/it seems to me that I can’t synchronise the app with my S9B during an exercice (“watch is occupied” message ? ). Or I missed something…

@Mff73

yep, not POIs

@Tieutieu
You don’t need to manually sync, just toggle the route after you’ve created it.

Ohhhh such an idiot I am…of course just have to switch “use in the watch”…
So, it works and I have never used it…as I was sure it needed full sync…

So the titanium is out of stock in the Suunto store. Good job Suunto

@Hristijan-Petreski In the german homepage there are canyon, sand and black ruby not available…

I have had mine since 20/03/23 (Ti Solar). I cannot find scratches.

You can add a route during exercise but not sync the exercise, not sure about S9b but I think so.

@Brad_Olwin said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:

@ink357 I used an Epix 2 for 6 months and I am not convinced maps are needed. Not sure how useful maps are on a watch. BTW, I use maps a lot. Yes the competition has maps so Suunto needs them but from my experience they are less useful than I anticipated.

@Brad_Olwin I’m curious if your opinions on maps have changed after testing the Vertical all this time.
