@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.
-
@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 Iām 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.
āsparepartsā or āaccessoriesā 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 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 canāt stand it 24/7. Probably therefore microfiber strap is betterā¦
-
@dombo I would say no. But I am not the expert for that topic
-
@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.
-
@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 canāt change more when already living a health lifestyleā¦ But after all if there is an athlete use for OHR (I believe you), it should be thereā¦
-
@suuntastic Sounds like you are a naturally good sleeper! Some people arenāt 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.
Iām confused there is such this difference and so, donāt know wich tss calculation method to useā¦ -

Canāt stand it with the silicon band. No problem with a nylon velcro one.
-
@isazi yes, this is gamechanger! and it is worth to mention, that during pause you can change/add another sport app from option menu.
-
@dombo no need to pause, you can do it during the activity just by holding the middle button to enter the settings screen.
