Suunto Vertical is here

@Tieutieu it does not change battery mode without telling you. Only at 1% it will go to power saving mode on its own.

Actually it switched to power saving mode tonight when 2% where remaining.

I finally succeded to drain battery to 0% !
Here are the final results of my first whole battery cycle (I had a “small” one before a big race).

Last full charge 13 days ago.
H24 HR and sleep tracking on, no notifications, turn to raise to low. Backlight to low.
39,50 hours of activities with GPS to best for all, maps almost always on. Few apps used. Few sun received (my skin commands me to seek for shadow…).
Activities : Trail running, hikking, climbing, cycling and moutainbiking, cardio-training…achieved around 300km, 10000meters D+ in various and demanding terrain.

• I estimate daily consumption to 1,5% to 2% max. So around 20/25% for 13 days. That means almost 40hours of activities for about 80/75% battery used in exercice.
• Even if I mostly use chest strap, the OHR battery consumption is very low compare to my S9B. Almost same consumption as with chest strap.

Perhaps few people haven’t set properly the watch or may use functions combinations that lead to bugs or extra battery consumption…
But my point of view is that this is a really fu**** awesome device for all my adventures !!

Hehe…nice new survey about maps with vertical when opening SA…some cool things may come, considering the questions asked (at last, I would say it gives indications about hardware capacities of the watch

[DMytro]

@Tieutieu can you share a summary/screenshots for those who don’t have the vertical?

[surfboomerang]

@Tieutieu No survey here

[Tieutieu]

@surfboomerang it appeared when I finished synchronising last activity.

[DMytro]

@Tieutieu very nice survey indeed.

[surfboomerang]

@Tieutieu

Check

• Data field(s) on map
• Marine maps
• Auto zoom
• re-routing

Oh nevermind…

• Something else - please specify: I want it ALL !

@bnorthrop delete and reinstall the app. Worked for me.

After almost 3 weeks with non solar vertical, outdoor activities such as climbing, walking, running, cycling, even pool swimming, I‘m really impressed with the accuracy of GPS recording (better than apple watch ultra!!!). Only thing remaining is open water swimming, which will start next week in still cool baltic waters. However, one annoying thing is that theres no way that screen gets dark during night (at least, I haven‘t found it). Would be nice if this could get implemented in one of the updates that one could chose a dark mode during sleep time.

@Hexa62 OWS improvements are being worked on by Sony, and the hotfix will already include a GPS firmware that is better at handling signal loss (but not OWS specific). As for the night, if you enable “do not disturb” the watch does not have backlight active.

Settings > Sleep > Auto Do Not Disturb (turn on and set your average bed times and wake times). Backlight and notifications will not activate, and you need to do a button press to activate backlight.

@isazi it would be great if it was possible when interacting with watch during night/evenings you could cover the watch face with your hand and the watch would turn dim to “normal” state. Or turn of the backlight.

Tried the OHR for the first time yesterday, completely different readings to when I use the chest strap and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to like my wrist. Very low HR readings throughout my 7.5km run, whenever I looked it was in the region of 100-120bpm. Bit of a bummer but oh well, everything else is awesome about the watch

[gone troppo]

@MiniForklift

Unfortunately I get the same low readings luckily everything else about the watch is great

[MiniForklift]

It’s weird about the readings because my S9B was exactly the opposite - crazy high readings. I was hoping the Vertical would allow me to ditch the chest strap as the reviews for its OHR were generally pretty positive

[freeheeler]

@MiniForklift
try to play with it for position, tightness of the strap etc. I found that it is quite good when I go for runs but also intervals

[gone troppo]

@MiniForklift

I thought the opposite most of the reviews I saw had questionable hr data so i bought it knowing that the ohr might not be that accurate. Pretty sure rainmaker and a few others the pommy guy had issues.

[Ketoohs]

@MiniForklift for me the OHR is currently more precise than the belt(suunto). As weird as that sounds.

I ran for the first time with the belt since having the Vertical and the readings were crazy high. Especially when my t-shirt was full of sweat.

The OHR is showing consistent values with sometimes a spike in the first kilometer.

[surfboomerang]

Same for me. Works flawlessly on warmer days. In winter it tends to be a bit irregular however.

[MiniForklift]

Just for comparison, here are a couple of runs that were similar in effort. First is using the chest strap…

This one is using the Vertical’s OHR

There’s a huge variance between the two, and FWIW I wasn’t working particularly hard on either of them so who knows
