Software Firmware Update Suunto Vertical?!

[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)?

@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?

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.

[surfboomerang]

@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.

@Brad_Olwin on your photos it always looks like your watch is leaving your wrist with no blood flow all at I guess you don’t sleep with the watch on?

[Brad_Olwin]

@herlas That is just the photo and cranking my hand around. Day use and sleep I keep the watch just tight enough so it doesn’t move. (I often sleep with two watches…) During workouts I wear the watch a notch tighter to prevent cadence locking for HR.

[ChrisA]

@herlas I wear it like @Brad_Olwin, especially during workouts. But it’s not inconvenient and perhaps it’s one of the factors of not having problems with wirst HR?

DNA - DailyNerdAlert hints at end of November

[Mitch9]

@Jonathan-C I don’t get the hint. Maybe because I can’t speak finnish?

[Tieutieu]

Whatever, hope we’ll get the update the sooner. 4 month without news is much too long for us !
