My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026
-
@sky-runner How about two at the same time?
-
@Kaikkionkaytos I need an on-Switch. Because my nap track doesn’t work.
-
My two cents:
Timer Improvements
- Custom timer presets (e.g. 4 min, 6 min)
- Timer should continue ringing/vibrating until manually dismissed (easy to miss currently)
- Optional escalating vibration/sound if not dismissed
- Option: vibration only (no sound)
Privacy Zones
- Automatic privacy zones around home/work
- Custom radius selection (e.g. 200–1000 m)
- Applies to shared links & exports
Native Live Tracking
- Built directly into Suunto app (no 3rd party dependency)
- Auto-start with activity
- Battery-efficient tracking mode
Activity Editing
- Trim start/end of activity in app
- Remove accidental pauses or idle time
- Keep original file as backup
Custom Button Mapping
- Fully customizable long-press & short-press actions
- Flashlight, Timer, Media, Live Tracking etc.
Notification Controls
- Separate sound & vibration controls
- Quiet hours per notification type
- Repeat alerts option

I think it would be sufficient to have the current timers as a start list and then the watch simply remembers the last 10 recently used ones. So the list will eventually be personalized without the need to implement any additional preset UI…
I like to have a sleep mode without the need to set the watch to full DND. So that urgent calls can reach me while sleeping…
-
Set the alarm more flexible (my workdays are mo,tu,we,th)
Set the gps accuracy a little less accurate without loosing maps
Set beeps + vibrate during activity and only vibrate in watch mode.
Set the datafield in maps to distance to next turn during navigation
Able to permanently turn off morning report (there is literally zero info on it that I need to know first thing in the morning)
Able to turn off sleep measuring without also disabling hrv measuring.
Disabling haptic feedback of the digital crown (when I use the crown I look at the screen. Haptic feedback is only useful when I perform actions without looking)
Or in short, more fine grained settings.

This is how it used to work one year ago.

Yeh. On my race s also when I bought it. Now it is the super useless (in my views) distance to finish. I contacted suunto support and they claimed someone requested distance to finish so they changed it.
I asked if they could explain why distance to finish might be more useful than distance to next turn. They couldn’t explain.
I asked them to change it back or at least make it user configurable. No reply.

I seems it hasn’t occurred to Suunto team that some people liked it the way it was and that it would be possible to satisfy both groups of users by adding an option.
What is even more, there is already a choice in the app whether to include turn directions into a route a not. The right solution would be to show distance to a next “event” on the route, whether that is a turn or next waypoint, or end of route. Then if someone didn’t want to see distance to next turn, they could simply not include turn directions in the route.
Furthermore, there is already another way to see distance to next waypoint or end of route by switching to the elevation profile - the climb guidance screen. It does show distance to the finish or next waypoint at the bottom. So with the current implementation we have two different ways to see distance to next waypoint or end of the route but zero ways to see distance to next turn.

your voice was heard though. The next update will bring some nice changes to navigation as well.

@Egika with Suunto it’s always the next update that will be cool…

@2b2bff
…and then it will still not have Suunto Pay or an animated seconds hand…
