@Likarnik @surfboomerang the backlight settings have been heavily modified, new UI watches will have a different behavior than old UI watches.
I find that it works very well !!
-
@Tieutieu my configuration (tested for few months now) is:
- Brightness: low
- Standby: off
- Raise to wake: low
Battery consumption is minimal, and it is bright enough when needed.
-
@Tieutieu no it’s not there. I have noticed and asked the same yesterday. (I’m on iOS too) I hope it’ll be added in the next update. Not a big deal but nice to have.

Exactly same configuration as you, exactly same conclusions !

Very nice! Still dreaming of “athlete versions” of S9PP and SV: flat bottom, no internal OHR, little lighter, no “wellness tracking”

Great to see the photos of everyone’s new Vertical.
It’s my birthday coming up and my (very lovely) wife knows there’s no present I’d love more.
I’m working at home today and have just accepted delivery of a package from Suunto for her
Only problem is my birthday isn’t for 10 weeks

Are you search for ambit3 or Spartan ultra?
-
@elliott negotiate for a prebirthday gift.
-
@zhang965 No, athlete watch with new HW, but without things most athletes won’t use (for HR only external strap). HW is now way better than Spartan, Ambit…

I give a rapid try of Vertical OHR yesterday : it is still not working good for me (but it was not neither with S9P not S9PP). I must not be compatible
(at least on the wrist )In this regard, i would surely consider any Suunto Vertical without OHR version : lighter, cheaper (?).
All watches have it now, i don’t expect this kind of light version rising one day.
-
@Mff73 Probably unfortunately not… Think every athlete would use a watch without OHR. But it is not mainstream of course. I think even if OHR is pretty good, no athlete would use it. For precise results independent of cold weather, movement, … a belt is always first choice… Such a watch would be more a pro tool, it is in the direction Suunto is going… but probably not high volume without OHR
-
@suuntastic well I am not an “athlete”, but run quite a lot and for me the OHR on Suunto works like a charm.
I can get a spike at the beginning, especially in cold weather, but other then that it is consistent and does not vary much from the belt (with the belt (suunto), I have problems in hot weather, when my t-shirt is full of sweat and sticks to the belt, then I get wrong readings)
-
Got mine too
I decided to get titanium version. I was afraid that it will be hard to back from s9p to heavier watch, but it is not.
The screen is so sharp and better. Love it ! Good job SUUNTO!Only what I observed that other people ,that slow WiFi.
It’s only 72Mbit at 2.4 Ghz.
So download the speed is about 2.5 - 3 Mbit/s . After 30min its only downloaded 550MB

Quick feedback about “solar” feature…
was at 94% battery this morning. Bearly went out this morning (bright sun outside), and it’s back at 99% !! to be confirmed but very impressive !
-
@Tieutieu Just to compare. I have the non solar version. Monday 6pm charged it to 100%, did 2x weight training and 1h treadmill + a lot of surfing trough menus, changing watchfaces,…
Battery at 85%
-
@Tieutieu That would be impressive!
If it’s confirmed, I think that Suunto can change their advertisement to “unlimited power” instead of “up to one year”. -
@surfboomerang I had sunny days few weeks ago in Italy, where I did activities and at the end of the day was back to 100%.
-
About OHR, I made a small dual capture this noon.
Suunto Vertical with OHR compared to Garmin Edge paired with Polar H10 chest strap.A big first half of the ride is completely false. Then it went quite decent for the rest of the ride.
-
@v-sacre what power meter are you using with vertical and is it dual sided?
-
@Likarnik Assioma duo (dual side) were paired with both the Suunto Vertical and the Garmin Edge for this test. I usually only use Garmin for cycling activites but it worked properly. But with Suunto, you only have access to the power, no other cycling dynamics information.
