      Hello, I got my suunto vertical on Friday, I was messing arround with it, installing maps until saturday, when i fully charged it. Since then I did 16h of activity until wednesday and now i have a 9% battery!! Do you think it is normal?? What could it be?? Thanks!!

      Do you guys even take the minimal effort to read at least part of what is included in the post?

        @EdCaballer Not sure if you’ve read this thread. What is your firmware version? If you have not updated yet, I would try to discharge it to 0% and then charge again to 100% and check if it’s better. If you have the latest version, then you have to wait for a hot fix, unfortunately.

                A fix is being tested, if everything works out should be here in a week or two.

                Are there still issues to investigate or is there a corrected FW under tests ?
                I still need to do a still to do a soft reset every week (map + navigation) ?

                    @Antoine as far as I know, the planned timeframe is still September (and today is only the 17th).

                      @Robin123 I agree with you that the advertising claim ( Daily use: Smartwatch mode
                      up to 30 days (60 days with solar)) is not true. With a fully charged battery, I have a battery consumption (without activity and without HR or Oxi Monitor) of approx. 10 - 12 % within 2 days. The advertised runtimes will never be achieved.This advertised battery life was a reason for me to switch from the Suunto 9 Peak to the Vertical Solar.

                      Et ça fait vraiment avancer le schmilblick.

                          I think I identified a new pattern for the battery drain without actually starting the exercise

                          1. Navigate to quick start menu of a exercise (eg running)
                          2. Configure setting
                          3. Abort (go back)

                          Did it twice after I had resettled the watch from an exercise and I got like 1% drain per hour on idle

                                @thanasis How long have you been observing such battery functioning? For how many days?

                                  @thanasis question back

                                  Do you know if “Configure setting” refers to some specific settings, or any?

                                    Since the large software update earlier this year (which annoying reset lots of my custom settings) I am now also getting dreadful battery drain. Typically 10% per day. Before the update I could go a month between charge (in idle) but now I need to recharge every week. Any ideas please? I read of a hit fix coming soon. Is this happening soon?

                                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos i was just playing around. But both times i definitely did :

                                      • changed the S+
                                      • entered the write HR setting (enabled/disabled)
                                      • went all the way down to the last item

                                          Soft reset solves the problem - hold upper button for 12 seconds

                                            This is not a solution. It only delays the inevitable. And it also resets quite a few of the on-watch statistics like resources and the altitude and solar history charts. And it does not always work. I still sometimes see abnormal battery drain after a soft reset. And it’s terribly inconvenient if you use your watch to record several activities throughout the day.

                                            We’ve been a told a fix should be here by the end of September. I’ve still got my fingers crossed, but that leaves us with one more working day (unless Suunto releases updates over the weekend?). I’ve come to take any suggested timelines for releases with a (large) grain of salt.
