      Hi, If I understand correctly, the discharge problem is still not solved? What is your experience with the Vertical’s endurance now? For me, it’s around 5% in 24 hours with HR and notifications (I don’t have many of those, only call notifications) and no activity.
      It still seems too much to me.
      I had the Ocean on test now and the endurance was similar - 5-6% in 24 hours with the same settings.
      Ocean and Race don’t seem to have that problem. Is the problem only with the Vertical?

        @Pavlas For me, the last two updates have completely solved the problem, so it must be a matter of either individual settings or individual procedures for dealing with the problem. I don’t think, given my and others’ experience, that this applies specifically to a particular watch model. This is just my opinion.
        I use the notification rarely on expeditions, only when the phone is hidden in the bag and I want to be up to date on who is trying to contact me. From what I remember, battery consumption is then higher (also for the phone). But I guess that’s normal, the devices run in the background maintaining a constant connection.
        My daily battery consumption without notifications, HR and workouts is about 1 - 1.5%. In my experience HR adds about 1% of daily consumption, I only turn it on at night for sleep monitoring. Adding active notifications I think you are probably within the optimal range of battery consumption.

          @Pavlas For me the latest FW has greatly improved the battery issues I was seeing with the Vertical.

            Since the last update I did a full charge battery and a soft reset then after two weeks of testing, my average battery consuming per day is about 3% with OHR 24h / sleep tracking/ usual notifications and no activities (against 5% after this summer update)
            Everything seems to go back normal now , and I can say that for my solar vertical the little drain battery bug is fixed .
            Well done Suunto !

              Fully charged mine yesterday from 0%
              9% lost in 24 hours without any activity.
              No soft reset, just charged.

              [edit]
              24/24 HR on
              notifications on
              Sleep tracking on
              SPO2 on
              everything like when i purchased it at launch

              today’s stats :
              Charged from 0% to 100% on Oct 6th.
              Today : 22% left --> 78% lost in total in 12 days
              17% battery lost in 9h36 of GPS activity
              So 61% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5% / day)
              .

              today’s stats :
              Charged from 10% to 100% on Nov 11th.
              Today : 15% left --> 85% lost in total in 10 days
              32% battery lost in 17h50 of GPS activity
              So 53% lost for 10 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5.3% / day)

              today’s stats :
              Charged from 7% to 100% on Jan 5th.
              Today : 38% left --> 62% lost in total in 12 days
              17% battery lost in 9h37 of GPS activity
              So 45% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 3.75% / day)

              SV with latest 2.39.20 FW.
              My battery consumption improved (i feel it). Btw, i just checked and change two settings (linked or not, i don’t know) : Coinnectivity / Discovery & Wifi : on --> off

              let see how many time my current 38% will last 🙂

                I’ve been studying the battery consumption of my Race for some time. I have the “Battery Levels by Activity” field in Intervals and I can see that until September 3, the battery life exceeded ten days and suddenly, from that date on, it has never exceeded 8 days. Firmware version 2.37.34 came out on September 4. Right now it does not exceed 6/7 days (with the same configuration and use of the watch). I did a factory reset, and it doesn’t seem to have improved, 12% battery lost daily without GPS activity.

                  I don’t expect any battery improvements after the January version. For Suunto the battery problems are solved. It is not our case. I hope I’m wrong.

                    @MarioPedraza I too am in a position to say that the race’s problems are not solved.
                    just bought, November 2023 I lasted almost 12 days with training and about 20 without training. Now in any configuration it does not reach the week. Furthermore, recharging has become a challenge, constant disconnections, etc.
                    I have already sent it to the support who returned it to me in third world hygienic conditions (dirty and smelly to the point of even having to change the strap) and without solving anything because according to them there are no problems…
                    moral of the story today I took it off my wrist, threw it at the charity market in my city and went back to my Spartan.

                      For the Suunto Vertical is there an option to display the battery % or hours remaining during an activity such as running?

                      I’ve looked at the Sport Mode Customisation options and could not see it there.

                      I need this option for some events so I can plan for re-charging the battery in good time.

                        @GKnoll just long press the lower button to acces the “control panel”. It shows “battery %” and “hours left”

                          @Samuel-Pirttikangas a quick reminder. Not all of us have Control Panel configured to the lower button long press. I used to have, but I had to change it because of the Control Panel carousel rendering problem. The problem stopped when I moved it to mid button short press. Weird, I know!

                              @BrunoH i ment if you hold down the bottom button during an ongoing activity then you get battery stats. 🙂

                                    The battery on my Suunto Vertical Solar has dropped from fully charged to 55% in only two days. Last night it dropped by 15% while I was sleeping with the watch on.
                                    I have mobile notifications and 24/7 HR turned on but it still shouldn’t drain that fast, right? Standby backlight is off and I’ve used GPS for less than 10 minutes during those two days.
                                    Do I have a defective battery or could this be some other issue?

                                    It sounds frustrating! While mobile notifications and 24/7 HR can drain the battery, a 15% drop overnight seems excessive. Try resetting your watch or updating the firmware. If the issue persists, contacting Suunto support might help. 🔋
