Suunto Vertical is here

surfboomerang

@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?

v.sacre

@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.

Likarnik

@v-sacre thanks, I was wondering if it sends double values as Suunto (as far as I know) does not distinct left/right. Useful info as I am looking for one (also Assioma)

I have seen the review on dcrainmaker.com that silicone bracelet consists of three parts. For small and large wrists. In my order only two parts were included (Suunto Vertical Titan Sand).

Can you confirm?

@Likarnik usually left/right power meters communicate between each other and device (bike computer, watch) connects to only one unit which provides data for both left and right. so it should be no problem to use dual sided power meter with suunto watch

@suuntastic I’m an (ex) athlete and back when I competed heavily coaches used to ask us to wear HR straps to bed and report our nightly sleep and HR values if we woke up, and upon waking up in the morning (old polar watches). We had to write the values and how we felt in a journal.

HR values, sleep and recovery tracking are very important, and OHR works well for this application.

I use hr strap for activities.

@coqiner
yes. the watch comes with S/M strap.
“spareparts” or “accessories” straps come in 2 sizes. I have just received mine and there are 2 different length of the straps (without buckle) in the box

v.sacre

@dombo There is no problem using it, power is correct on Suunto. But what @Likarnik points out is that Suunto do not show your left/right balance and all other cycling dynamics.

dombo

@v-sacre I have only single sided Stages and it does not provide additional metrics. The question is, if those metrics are stored in fit file or not.

Hmm, I realized that in Vertical is possible to enable two Suunto plus apps in a same time.
Really good start, however app and guide are not working together yet.

@kamarasm yet

Also, used S+ apps are now remembered.

@mikekoski490 Thanks! Interesting. Do you still wear sometimes S9PP during night? Is it comfortable. I can’t stand it 24/7. Probably therefore microfiber strap is better…

v.sacre

@dombo I would say no. But I am not the expert for that topic

mikekoski490

@suuntastic I do wear my S9PP to bed, and all other past watches - and will with the Vertical. Never bothered me.

+1 on the microfiber strap. I love mine. Super comfy and durable so far too.

suuntastic

@mikekoski490 I always thought, that the resting HR right after waking up ist most important and also a sign of recovery maybe nowadays also HRV. But having the whole HR graph ist maybe expert thing. And I can not imagine the benefit of knowing sleeping hours from watch. I know when I am going to bed and wakeing up and I can’t change more when already living a health lifestyle… But after all if there is an athlete use for OHR (I believe you), it should be there…

mikekoski490

@suuntastic Sounds like you are a naturally good sleeper! Some people aren’t and have lots of wake ups and sleep gaps so automatically tracking helps understand stress for training.

Vertical also does increased HR recording which will help accuracy of those stress scores and can train accordingly.

I have a question concerning power and tss calculation.
With my s9b tss was a hr calculated value for running activities. (I always run with the chest strap).
Just went back from a 1h30 run that gives me usually around 80/90 tss with hr. With the vertical, tss is based on pwr by default, and there the value of tss is 123. If I change for hr based calculation, the value is going down to 81.
I’m confused there is such this difference and so, don’t know wich tss calculation method to use…
