Outback Adventure (Vertical 2) watchface is public

@surfboomerang
The screen displays the last location in standby mode.
Pressing a button displays the current location.
In the video, the first location is my home, and the second is my workplace.
There’s a 10 km gap between them.
I didn’t do anything on the watch to test it. I pressed the side button on the watch while I was at work.
But this is normal. -
@safari This is indeed what is happening right now, but I don’t think that should be the case.
I specificly chose this watchface so I can see all information at a glance, but now I have to press a button to make sure that I’m seeing the latest information.The complications seem to update well. It’s only the sunrise and temparture bar and the location that update after a press of a button.
Not sure if Suunto did this deliberately to save battery or something? -
@surfboomerang
I agree
I’ve been using Suunto for 15 years, I’m sure this is my biggest dream
I used to see more information on the home screen of my Suunto Ambit watch.
When the watch started to follow the trend and transition from a mountaineering computer to a smartwatch, this naturally started happening.
We can’t switch to watch faces during exercise anyway.
We’d like the watch face to act as a “dashboard” for normal use. But this isn’t possible due to the insufficient use of the home screen and the limited number of complications (Athletics) that only have six.
But our loyalty to Suunto is undeniable. -
Can we get the “dimmed view” in AOD mode for all (most… ?) watch faces to be more like the Vertical 2 (Outback Adventure) ? Instead of showing numbers with horizontal bands (dark/light) show the contour of the digits, just like in the watch face “Outback Adventure”, which looks better in dimmed view.
As an example, the main WF for the Suunto Run (similar to the Aero Sport in SuuntoPlus) looks great in the Run while dimmed in AOD (just the contour of the hour:minute), while in the Race S version it looks horrible… Or the adaptation of the Race S WF (Adrenaline, or Adrenaline Bulletin) that looks much better in the Suunto Run in dimmed state. And, there’s also the fact that the dimmed versions in the Race S are often off centre and much much dimmer than in the Run… which is weird, considering the more premium positioning of the Race S ?
An alternative, is to make both modes available (either the dark/light horizontal bands OR the contour) and selectable, just like for Complications ?
I find this quite important, as the dimmed view is actually what’s visible most of the time (glancing to the wrist while driving, in a meeting at work, etc), and I’ve been moving back and forth between watch faces, still struggling to find the the right one.
I was quite happy with the Run watch faces (even if more limited in number and no access to SuuntoPlus), but due to lack swimming metrics, I swapped it for a Race S. Only to be very underwhelmed by the dimmed state of all watch faces.
Please … ! -
@tailwind_mrs Upvoted. I like the Aero Sport wf, but not the aod version. I didn’t even realise there was a difference with the Run.

Lately I’ve been using this nice watch face on my Vertical 1. But it’s a shame that the color difference of the temperatures is not displayed as presented. It probably works on AMOLED displays, but not on MIP. I still see one color. When I go to the weather forecast, I also see a graph with different colors of temperatures. I can see this color difference in the display preview as well. Why can’t it be done on the watch face?

Today I noticed that when the watch goes to sleep, the display moves forward, and conversely, when I press the button and the watch wakes up, the display moves backward. It looks as if it counts down from a different time when it goes to sleep.
Now, in the middle of the day, it’s not so easy to see in the photos. In reality, I can clearly see the jump in the upper graph. I’ll try to take photos in the evening or morning when it will be more visible in the photos.

@segi_pn Not exactly sure what you mean, but the dusk and dawn times have a different resolution in active or standby state for MIP devices.
This is most likely to save energy (like seconds not shown in standby state)t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal, Race S All Black / Titanium Courtney, Run Lime

@Egika I’ve noticed that too. I don’t think it’s the resolution. It just shifts significantly when it wakes up. It looks like it’s in standby mode about an hour ahead.
The color of the temperature graph also differs when it wakes up. -
@Egika
That’s pretty weird behavior. So in standby mode, the graph is enlarged, and when switching from one mode to another, the graph flickers because it zooms out and then zooms back in? -
Now it’s easier to see.
and after switching to standby mode, it will return back
-
@segi_pn I guess is an issue related to the color depth, when the luminosity decreased the fainter segment seems to disappear
-
@Stefano-M64 No it’s nothing about the colors. I can confirm this issue.
The bars shift and updates when you press a button. Also the weather location isn’t updated unless you press a button. -

They don’t have different resolution. The whole sunrise time shifts. It is clearly visible looking at the BT connection icon next to it. Sunset time in further pictures below, shows the same thing. Super easy to see looking at the triangle at 12 o’clock. Not everyone has an attention to detail, and there is nothing wrong with that, different people have different skills. This is clearly a bug in the watch face design and should be reported and promptly fixed as such.
