My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026
-
I know already discussed multiple times … better weather app pls! More data more outlooks more suitable for being in the mountains and ocean (tides!!! ) plsssss
-
@Brad_Olwin Good for you! I would like complications and I want to be able to read them at a glance, not squint.
-
Different pulse measurement intervals such as 1min or 5min.
Alarm names.
Notification when connection to the phone is lost. -
I would appreciate being able to customise what long button pushes do during an activity. I have never needed to access multi sport or the control panel during an activity. If we can customise what a long button push does when not doing an activity, I’d hope it would be possible to add this for during an activity.
With the vertical 2 and its torch, one long push would be useful to activate this feature for short sections in town where there is no street light or in short tunnels to provide a bit of light to guide me when a head torch would be overkill. It’s quite hard to activate the torch from the control panel whilst running.

For the next update, I would like to see more options regarding the brightness of the AMOLED screen. It is still very bright even at the lowest setting. Additionally, a red shift mode after sunset would also be very pleasant.

- One minimalistic watchface.
The rest is almost perfect for me, just those things.
Suunto Vertical 2 Titanium Sage, Suunto Run

On device music for me like the Run… I would have thought it would be easy to copy over? V2 would be almost perfect then… apart from payments but I can go without.
-
@James-Alexander think that the music can be accomplished very easily with the headsets (that in any case you already need).

https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15018/suunto-spark/And Aqua. Basically treat them as the chest strap is treated: sync and merge after, the code already exists afterall. Stops it being a marketing exercise of a feature and transforms it into something useful for us.

I forgot, espresso maker. Please. For the summit.
EDIT: altimeter calibration using the elevation data now present on the map!

Hahahaha. Poll idea: Who’s old enough to remember that “feature suggestion”?
-
@Ze-Stuart could you elaborate ?
-
@Tieutieu yep.
- Present: altimeter is calibrated either by GNSS signal, or manual user calibration.
- Suggestion: the maps have topo lines, which suggests the maps have elevation data. Let’s assume they do, and it’s queryable, and not just in the GUI. A 3D GNSS fix takes a lot more time than a 2D GNSS fix. With a map and elevation data, and a 2D fix, you can infer altitude with a reverse lookup: what is the altitude on the map for this lat/long?
Not only does this give us known-accurate elevation data, but the benefit that our barometer is more likely to be accurate, too, as currently the data from the manometer has to be parsed to determine if the change is elevation or barometric pressure. FusedAlti is great, but, why infer when you can calculate?
Unless you meant the espresso maker…?

I am!

@Ze-Stuart ok sorry I thought you were saying it’s was already available.
It’s been discussed a lot ; for now I have never been disappointed by fusedalti, and I use sometimes altitude calibration already available (out of exercice), mostly after long car travels that lead to « altitude errors » -
@Ecki-D.
I really hope the developers are reading the suggestions. I am new to Suunto and am struggling with all the limitations in comparison with Garmin. Double taps on buttons would be great and of course the possibility to map more useful things to the buttons.I would vote for your post, but cannot for now, as I need to gain some reputation, first.
-
@Ze-Stuart Currently, the altimeter (together with FusedAlti) works great, and I can’t remember the last time I had to manually calibrate it before an activity. The readings are very accurate.
The last problem is with strong winds, although less often than before.
-
@maszop it can be very accurate, but again: why infer when you can extract? I see FusedAlti as excellent, when you don’t have a topo map with a pin on it to look at. When you know where you are on a topo map, you don’t need the overhead as primary.
Put another way, in my scenario above: you have a recent barometric pressure reading for somewhere near you - let’s say an airport - do you claibrate to that, or do you calibrate to the sign that you’re standing next to that states the altitude, as measured by RADAR?
I think there’s a bug in the most recent firmware; two times since updating, I’ve come back from an activity and my altimeter has been way off. Really odd: perfect the whole time, then I stop, save, and I think it was 60m off or something.

I have noticed another bug. When I wake up to the bathroom, let’s say, after 4am and I use a shortcut for the flashlight, the watch triggers the morning report instead of the flashlight.
Can someone report this internally?
-
@dreamer_ is it specifically the shortcut that triggers the report, or pressing any button does it also ? On my race s sometimes pressing a button triggers it, sometimes not
