Almost 6months after the release of the Vertical and a new watch already released and still no updates . time is running out for my Vertical to get its first real update (improve maps feature/ improvement the UI / add HRV / fixed structured workout)

@Wilson75 If the Vertical gets the same firmware as the Race (and thats what I heard), I would really say it’s really worth the waiting. Using the race feels as someone has „cleaned up“ everything. I ordered the Vertical when it was released, although it was sort of an overkill for my needs and with a 600€ pricetag more than I really needed, but I wanted to support Suunto, so I ordered it. But with all the little bugs here an there I deceided to sent it back and wait for an update.

When the Race was announced then, being 150€ less and with an updated firmware, it was clear for me, that I would get one. But if Suunto had just updated the Vertical with the same firmware as the Race, I would have ordered one again too. The Race for me is a quantum leap in features and especially usability and I am pretty sure you will find it awesome too, once the firmware arrives on the Vertical

@ChrisA I’m really interested to see how much improved the lag will be when swapping between widgets on the new Vertical firmware. I understand the Race is very responsive, but it’s not clear if that’s due to a different processor and more RAM…I still haven’t been able to find any confirmation if the Race does have more RAM/faster processor than the Vertical or not. Anyone?

@LitchiMonster I believe that Vertical was pushed out in little rush and due that many optimizations were not made for the release. I am expecting Vertical to be mostly on par with race performance. So hold your horses people! Hopefully next week we all something to test

ChrisA

@LitchiMonster The widgets‘ speed on the Race are on par with other current watches and really responsive. But I could imagine that they could run similar on the Vertical, since it has a lower resolution (280x280)?

In the Suunto Race the widgets are in a vetical menu. Vertical will get the same and scrolling through that is actually very responsive.

@Egika Will the 9pp get the same kind of vertical scrolling? I prefer it over the horizontal.

Egika

@Highlands yes

Any chance to see again this watchface in Vertical?

Brad_Olwin

@Luís-Pinto No, this watch face will not appear in watches with the new UI, S9PP, Vertical or Race.

@Brad_Olwin Is there any reason why not all watchfaces are available to all the watches?.

Brad_Olwin

@surfboomerang There are new watch faces developed for the S9PP, Vertical and Race. I think some of the old watch faces were too much development effort or had issues that they decided not to fix. I know in some test firmware updates this particular face had issues. Moving forward, watches with the old UI may not have sufficient processor power for the newer watch faces. The new ones (Race) will be available AFAIK on the 9PP, Vertical and obviously is on the Race. Suunto is eliminating all FirstBeat metrics, which I am very, very happy about! A deeper integration with TSS, CTL and ATL will provide much better Training information. So I am pleased with the development decisions, not all will be. This was my favorite of the older watch faces as well, however the new Race watch face is fast becoming my favorite.

@Brad_Olwin ciao questo che hai al polso è la versione titanium,dove lo hai acquistato visto che è praticamente introvabile? Grazie in anticipo

Brad_Olwin

@mamertino1984 I am a Suunto field tester. This is a test model but on release day in the US I checked and I could order a Titanium model. They are out of stock now.
