      I was just on a quick trail run. Battery dropped 2% in an hour - performance mode. I was curious to see how the display looks in the sun and it is really easy to read. Compared to the 9PP it’s a huge improvement and I can finally see something on the watch :-D. Also the beeping of the laps has improved a lot, including the vibration. Also the ability to install up to 100 Suunto+ accessories is a world away from the 15 on the 9PP. Otherwise GPS classically Suunto excellent, I had no problem even on the 9PP. We will see in a few days of use. Looking forward to it.
      I’m curious about HRV, sleep etc. I’m not much of a research type, I’m more of a feeling type :-D, but if it’s there, I’m curious.

        @martintrail how works the Step Counter? Exact? Or 200 steps after sitting?

        Don’t know what is exact in step counting, but Race consistently has like 2-3k steps less a day than Vertical. It does not count steps when just sitting and typing for example.

          @Ollipolli I don’t care about the number of steps. I think of Suunto as an adventure partner. So I’m not going to rate it.

            @Ollipolli Even if it were wrong, it is always wrong in excess and still gives an idea of how active you have been during the day. You keep asking for accuracy, but if that is your main concern, I think you have purchased the wrong watch

              @martintrail is it available for the general public or you bought it differently?
              Thanks

                @thanasis can be ordered outside of China from October 17th.
                Everyone who has the watch already is either a brand ambassador, field tester, reviewer or likewise.

                    @leederek12 Vertical should have a different algorithm, also different from what it has right now (Suunto is leaving FirstBeat, we know that already)

                    Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

                          @martintrail Does the Race display emoticons in notifications ? The Vertical couldn´t do that.

                            @Frank-Stefan not in the messages so far.
                            But it has the app icon on top of the message for now (like the MS Teams icon here 🙂 )

                              @martintrail Could you tell the circumference of your wrist?

                              I have been using Garmin, Polar, Coros and Suunto watches for 20 years for running and cycling. I currently have Suunto Race.
