Suunto Vertical is here

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud Best practice is to configure your interval training in 3rd party app (TrainingPeaks, or Intervals) and it will automatically be loaded to your activity when starting it.

@wmichi I actually liked that clicking sound
-
@v-sacre will that make it possible to create intervals based on % of max power?

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud sorry, you appear as a āSilver Memberā so I thought you knew Suunto watches already. You can create workouts based on HR, power, pace values. I use TrainingPeaks, but the Suunto App has also a basic workout creator.

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud yes of course.

@tomasbartko Ehm, the Vertical is on the charger?
-
@lessthanmore Indeed, hopefully it is not that thick !
-
@v-sacre It is huge. I have a small wrist (appr. 17cm). I hope I get used to it very quickly but itās definitely bigger than my fenix 7s.
Right now it looks a bit like a fish out of water -.- -
Arrived
- doe they have a box for every colour ???
-
@ChrisA I guess yes since mine is Sand
-
@Hristijan-Petreski Only connects to wifi 2.4 band and making it take forever to download maps, unfortunately
-
@aroo7 The 2.4 was not the problem. The SSID name containing the apostrophe was the issue. I have both 2.4 and 5 enabled so it chooses what to connecto to.
-
@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud as things stand, Suuntoās own tool on SA to create structure workout doesnāt know about the zones set in the watch, so it doesnāt have the option to specify % of zones as targets, Iāve requested this in the past, you can manually specify min and max values for power, hr etc, as @isazi said , Trainingpeaks does allows this, also Intervals ICU both work quite well.
-
@herlas Sadly, TP does have limitations in the free version if I remember correctly. Like inability to schedule workouts into the future and have their training load estimated? Anyone can confirm?
That said, unless esteemed @Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud returns to Suunto from COROS that has a pretty butt kicking web based front end with workout builder and calendar, Iād say neither Garmin nor Polar can hold a candle to TP and others. The flexibility and depth just isnāt there. Not to mention training load estimation and analysis, coaching features, and training plans.

Went for a small trail running, I give you my first impressions (and first comparison with S9b - probably some improvements are already in S9pp).
trail was Under trees cover, between small cliffs, open fieldā¦- GPS precision : So glad to see a precise and smooth track ! Even if my S9b was good, Vertical is really much metter !
- Instant pace seems much better (no more eratic fluctuations)
- readabilty of the screen is much better
- it is very less bulkier on the wrist and more confortable than S9B. (On my kitchen scale Vertical is 73g vs 69g for S9B - difference not noticable)
- maps reactivity as seen on test => very smooth !
- more options thru dedicated menu during activity (I guess it is the UI also in S9pp)
- altitude graphic as a much usefull scale than it was on S9B ! one thing that was very annoying for me is solved.
- solar intensity and battery consumption => need more time to make conclusions.
Sync with SA works very fast, creating personnal sports profil alsoā¦installing maps is easy, widgets can easily be reorganised in SA by drag and move
(two things : name of watch not displayed on the activity, and on map view in the diary, I had some strange pink icons like a battery indicator on overlay)That was my first feedback.
Iām gonna be happy for a lonnngg time with it !!

@Tieutieu Howās heart rate accuracy? Did you check that by any chance?
S9PĀ§ did improve things substantially over S9B wrt cadence locks, but I still see occasional crazy land trip at the beginning or end of workouts when my pace drops.

This will come to previous watches.

I never use the optical HR sensor for running, always use the HR belt. So, it was quite perfect as usual. Iāll try to make a comparison someday.
I mostly use it for H24/7 activity and sleep tracking. Iāve been checking last hour and for now it seems OK for that. -

When will the Updates for the older watches be released? Especially interested in the Update for the S9PP (not very old though
)
