Suunto Vertical is here

[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.

@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

@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

Had a play around this morning, it’s unusable. Today it had me at 200bpm when I was just jogging along pretty easily, so I picked up the pace and intensity to see what would happen and it dropped right down into the 140’s

Tried it on a couple of different straps but it’s absolutely all over the place. I’ll just go back to the using the chest strap

[herlas]

@MiniForklift have you tried positioning two fingers above wrist bone? Besides that, try on both hands, OHR is pretty personal as we have discovered. In my case since S9P OHR I found that out for some reason it likes my right hand more. Works fine enough for recovery runs and Z2 and Z3, when it comes to quality workouts, belt is always better
