Suunto Vertical is here

@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
living sideways

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… ) -

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…

@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

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.

@Brad_Olwin such a beautiful piece of engineering. You’re making us impatient

Good question
On the Epix2 the maps reduced battery life significantly, I was not happy about that. Since Garmin maps are routable the battery hit is significant. On Suunto much less so, especially with the Solar panel. Yes, there are occasions where I will not have to get my phone out but, many times I will have to look at a larger map on the phone.For an ultra race……I would probably pick my 9PP, it is so light and has sufficient battery. For my typical long run or SkiMo in the mountains where I am often off trail, I would use the Vertical. Maps are good but I really want a zoomable route elevation profile colored by grade with real time ascent/descent data based on the zoom level.

@Tieutieu said in Suunto Vertical is here:
@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 !
So true, but it still hurts when your watch gets scratched.
