Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion
-
@halajos Hello,
no — this is not an AI-generated assumption. This information comes directly from Suunto support and has also been officially confirmed via email.Suunto has now initiated a technical investigation on the server (back-end) side to understand why, with firmware 2.48.16, a manual SpO₂ trigger that is not supposed to work is still functioning on some devices or accounts.
My own experience supports this:
I upgraded the watch directly to firmware 2.48.16 when I first received it
The first 3–4 manual SpO₂ measurements worked perfectly
Then the manual measurement suddenly stopped
Since that moment, it has never been possible to start a manual SpO₂ measurement again
This behavior strongly suggests that the issue is not a simple firmware bug, but rather related to a server-side configuration, trigger, or feature-flag change applied after synchronization.
Therefore, the statement that “manual SpO₂ was removed in 2.48.16” does not appear to have been applied uniformly or simultaneously to all users.
In short:
this is not speculation and not AI-generated — it is a confirmed issue currently under technical investigation by Suunto. -
@GiPFELKiND hi;For clarity:
Manual SpO₂ was not working on my device. I performed a factory reset, and now manual SpO₂ works correctly via the widget.It was stated that this feature was removed in firmware 2.48.16.
If that is the case, why does it become functional again after a factory reset?I would appreciate a clear and official explanation.
-
Funny thing, I tried the manual Spo02 measurement on my 9 peak pro (on 2.48.16) and the thing promptly, immediately, crashed and turned itself off.
How the f**** is that considered even remotely acceptable ?
I hate, absolutely hate how since the last few years Suunto firmware stability just became a gigantic joke it’s so awful, it’s like they don’t even try it !

@Elipsus Vertical2 is working perfekt. Also after 10 times of o2 measurements.
-
@AYHAN-YILDIZ @Elipsus I can confirm that the SpO2 widget is working on field test firmware. I have no idea where the information stating this was disabled was generated from.
-
@Sportsfreund I understand what you are saying, but there is a difference between seeking advice or help vs complaining.
But I agree which what you are saying partly. I would not agree that “Nobody goes to a forum if everything is great.” I came here and I think others have as well to lend support and celebrate Suunto.

No time to show on top screen when using 7 fields screen.

During an activity, the music controls cannot be operated via touch. Can anyone tell me where I can change the settings so that the controls also work with touch? Also, it seems that creating a custom battery mode isn’t possible on the V2, is it?
-
@tuxbuster It is not possible to enable touch for music controls during exercise. For all AMOLED watches Custom sport modes are not available.

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the feedback. Now I can stop looking for a solution and finally get some peace of mind again
