        @altcmd Since we’re talking about hardware curiosities, do you guys have this sort of metal oblique thing inside the pressure sensor? I was wondering if this design is normal or not…

          I can imagine that to protect the sensor in the event of a violent fall into the water.

            @Lechamoix that’s reasonable, it seems “broken” at first sight, but that is just an impression

              @General_Witt my watch looks a little bit different I think… not diagonaly? But does the sensor work?

                @SuperFlo75 Air pressure reads seem normal to me. If you have the time for that could you post a photo of your watch just out of curiosity?

                  to me it does not look like an official part from Suunto. could be trapped dirt, too.
                  can you identify the material? metal? rubber? anything else?

                    @freeheeler It’s an oblique metal band that seems fixed inside the watch. It looks sturdy and it’s invisible from the outside, I’ve seen it looking at the watch upside down and without the strap while I was cleaning it.

                        there’s no such thing in my watch and neither does it appear to be in @SuperFlo75 's Vertical.
                        I recommend getting in touch with support if you can rule out it is a part from outside the watch

                          @freeheeler Same. Nothing like that in my Vertical either. Same as second photo below.

                            @freeheeler Here’s another look at it if you’re curious. You have to look at the watch without the strap and sideways to notice it.WhatsApp Image 2023-09-25 at 17.56.42.jpeg

                              @freeheeler The pressure sensor holes seem normal if you look at them without inclining the watch. Like this photo here.Untitled.jpg

                                @mikekoski490 Have you tried to incline it while looking at the pressure holes? I recorded a brief video of it.

                                  @General_Witt Hi. Yes, tilted it with a flashlight shining in. I dont have the piece showing in mine. Contact Suunto Chat and attach the photo for them. I find Suunto Chat very responsive.

                                    If anyone is interested, I contacted Suunto Customer Support out of curiosity this morning via chat, posted my original photo here to the chat, and the chat person said not sure but support will follow up with an email. Less than an hour later I got an email with the following, so Im happy.

                                    Dear Michael,

                                    We are contacting you from Suunto Customer Support.

                                    The line on display’s left side is part of the Solar panel. The product is not broken, and it should not be sent to service for that reason.
