My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026

Steven Hambleton

@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.

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).

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”?
