There is still a battery drain issue. Yesterday : leaving the watch next to my polar h10 (i forgot to remove the sensor from the strap and i usually use Suunto’s strap but i had to clean it this time so i used the h10…) , vertical 1 dropped from 85% to 55% overnight . …30% !! One could argue about minor deviations of 1-2% difference or whatever being random observations/glitches or whatever , but this is a very strong indication that something is not OK. It is very hard to classify it as a hardware/battery degraded related because it’s not consinted against various changes in the setup . (E.g. removing HR , turning off , Bluetooth or removing WiFi , brings makes the watch operate in a rather expected long lasting way, even just wearing the watch overnight is a lot better than taking it off and leaving it on the bench with a Bluetooth/wifi device nearby ). I know Vertical 2 , Race 2 etc are a lot fancier and great to talk about but this is device is still sold, (supposingly being) supported and is promoted as the top of the line for it’s long lasting battery etc. In my opinion… someone needs to look over it again because it seems there is something wrong here

@2b2bff No not at all The suunto support told me to buy an original belt from suunto That works but is not really a solution for me. If I connect the belt to a COROS dura parallel the hrm goes connects to the COROS and the watch connection is lost even if the connection was earlier I don’t like it !!

And their last answer: Thanks for getting back to me. These data fields are expected to be available on the Karoo in an upcoming update once testing is completed. For that reason, I’m not able to confirm a specific timeframe just yet. Thank you for your input and for your understanding. Take care, and happy riding. Best regards, @dimitrios-kanellopoulos I think we just have to wait further until they have finished their part

@Thaler-Martin I come from Garmin, and Amazfit too. At the moment, my Race 2 is on par with Amazfit considering sleep tracking, but slightly more in line with my feelings. Clearly, Suunto is better, for me, at tracking sleep time and HR. HRV is quite equal. The worst is Garmin for me, considering sleep time accuracy and sleep score. HRV interpretation is also worse on Garmin (it takes too much time to adapt to new baseline fluctuation caused by seasons and training load, giving wrong alert in HRV status). Btw, I’m quite new with the Race 2, and have 2 nights to go before receiving HRV status.

Thanks @duffman19 I checked the settings several times and they are both disabled. I think it’s a software issue. I already contacted Suunto bud it always takes sooooo long to get an answer. So the problem still exists. Kristof

@Nikolai-Simonov If this feature can also help reduce the phone’s battery consumption, that would be amazing. Sometimes when we go deep into the forest, the phone keeps trying to search for a signal, which can drain the battery faster. I really like this feature and I hope it continues to improve. Keep up the great work with the development!

hi, same here, i had to do a factory reset to have the default retro LED watch face… As soon as I turned on the watch out from the box, it showed the default Suunto Vertical 2 watch face (I already have another Vertical 2 registered in the Suunto app). regards

@Horizontal_2 - so you mean you own a Suunto Vertical 2 watch, and in your Suunto Plus store - the Race 2 watch face is available to download? Hmm… then it might just be that this “Race2” watch face is no longer made available for Suunto Ocean watch. For myself - I do not have Race2 and Outback adventure watch face anymore - to download from the Suunto Plus store. Could other Suunto Ocean users confirm this? I last counted on my Suunto Plus store - I have a total of 44 watch faces (excluding Outback Adventure & Race 2) available to choose from.

@runsgrun thanks! Much appreciated.

@atoponce Wow, what an experience you had, haha! Thanks for sharing. I think from now on I’ll think twice before charging my watch in these kinds of situations.

this is a basic function available on almost all smart watches. Hope Suunto people will develop it

@zhangschmidt said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: Any change of watch means that an HRV baseline has to be established anew That is even the case with Garmin. I guess the hardware variations are big enough that it is not meaninful to apply the baseline of an older watch to a newer one…

@CarlW If you are only interested in a straight line, you could use azimuth navigation. The compass will still show the direction to the azimuth determined from the paper map.

I’ve owned the 9PP for several years and never had issues, however the HR has stopped tracking in the middle of the night twice this week reporting an hour or two of sleep. I’m on v2.50.28 Thanks for the help
