Software Firmware Update Suunto Vertical?!

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

@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.

@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

@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 !

isazi

@Tieutieu all signs point to November.

v.sacre

Happy november to all Suunto Vertical owners waiting for an update !!

Philip

@v-sacre I think suunto now is focusing on the Race and hoping we all buy the new kid in town.
I think it still will take some time before the new update will be released. Patience. It’s just a watch regarding all the great suffer in the world at the moment.

@Philip WE wait since june to an update for the Vertical. They have not to focus on the Race ‍they damn should focus to update the Vertical bugs since June… Before working at new update for a brand new Watch … Which should work better but didnt IT…

Tieutieu

As long as the vertical is supposed to get the same (or close) firmware than the race, I would more likely bet that they wait for the first RACE users feedbacks.
This way they could correct maybe few bugs on the Race and have a better vertical fw release !

@Tieutieu I prefer to receive an update with bug fixes earlier instead of waiting 5 months to have the fix bugs and *new features. Bug fixes are more important for me than new feature releases.
