      I got Vertical Titanum since November 2023. You know when You get new gadget, tool or something You enjoy and look at it, but after some time it become normal thing. I still enjoy when I use SV when I look at it just like I would get it yesterday :D. You can count it as recommendation!:)

        I have the Vertical Titanium since launch. It’s still the most accurate sports watch I have ever owned with a battery that lasts forever*.

        *…Possibly exaggerated, but not by much.

          My Vertical’s battery lasts about 12 days with 24/7 HRM, sleep and SpO2 tracking. Is this normal battery life?

            @Outdoorsy I think you’d need to add how many hours of GPS you use.

            Mine lasts about 2 weeks without 24 hour HRM or sleep monitoring. But with notifications enabled and approx 13/14 hours of GPS usage.

            GPS is the biggest single drain for me, but last week on holiday with 35 hours GPS the watch still lasted a week. Best quality GPS.

              @Audaxjoe About 30-40 mins of GPS almost every day as I try to go for a walk after lunch at work. Phone notifications are always turned off. DND set from 10pm - 5am.

              I still like the battery life on it, but just wondering if what I am experiencing is normal.

                @Outdoorsy I was having quicker than expected battery usage until I changed a few settings. Went from about 10% daily usage to 4% by changing the following.

                Display is going to be the number 1 user of battery. Don’t belive me? Turn the flashlight on and watch the battery level drop. You will lose a percentage over 15 minutes, but it takes an hour for GPS to consume the same.

                Shout out to @Brad_Olwin for helping me sort it out!

                For me I wanted a quicker raise to wake but could stand a dimmer background so I set mine up that way, where Brad has it brighter but slower raise to wake. Either gives you better battery but having both in high drains it.

                  1 year Vertical Titanium Solar and I simply love that awesome piece of adventure equipment!!! 😍
                  of course the Race is a nice sibling, but let’s celebrate that one another time 😉

                  my son got a Vertical Titanium Solar for his birthday, too and is proud like a god 😁

                    Usually screeens takes most of battery, smartphones or smartwatches. I had low brighness and always on display ON, now i turned wake on hand on low brightness and so far its like 50% less battery consumption. While AOD my battery lasted usually 14-17 days. I still have 13%, when recharge I will observe how long it will last. Its crazy-battery watch.

                      @Todd-Danielczyk I have noticed when under tree cover or the sun blocked the backlight does not sufficiently light the display. There are discussions at Suunto to see if something can be done on this. Might help us both.

                        @Brad_Olwin Thanks for the “subtle intel” regarding that. Yes I have seen the same and it took me a few weeks to get used to having the backlight set to low, but I have gotten used to it for the sake of battery life.

                        If the Suunto software engineers can do some tweaks we would get the best of both worlds, bright display in those types of conditions as well as the extended battery life. I would not complain one bit about that!👍 😎

                          @Brad_Olwin I notied this as well and i am surprised nobody mentioned it before. Could be that my Vettical was defective (reason i return it). The display way just not making enough brigthness when in forest and therefore visibility was bad for me.

                            @Brad_Olwin I miss true adaptive mode for brightness like in smartphones where in most ocassions it works great. L

                                This will be a little trolling ij this post but i also do not want to open new topic.

                                I want to have maps, i also want to have smaller vertical. Should i rebuy 9pp and wait for smaller watch (price for 9pp is 400€) or just buy vertical steel or race for same price and wait for smaller vertical/race?
                                Or maybe just go full in and try vertical solar again. 🤯 to much overthinking

                                      @krakra Sadly no, even if its true. I got small wrist, and switched 9PP for Vertical, and after a week I get used to. Now 9PP is too small for me. Bigger screen is a game changer, especially for maps.

                                        We don’t know but the track record between fcc documents publication and release is around 1 month. I expect something in June.
