@krakra the maps go dark with AOD. But only an issue if cycling with the watch on your handlebars. You can still follow on the bike when they darken. In other modes like running, walking etc where you raise your wrist they wake up so quickly it doesn’t make any difference. I have the V2 now, from the V1. The V2 is much easier to read if your eyes aren’t perfect. I need reading glasses but can read a lot of fields on the V2 I couldn’t of read on the V1. I purchased the V2 at launch, I think September, and have found the watch excellent for my user case.

@itoakio Android or IOS App?

@gkaempfer in V1 you can find “Backlight -> Always ON” in the sub-menù: select the type of sport activity - sport mode (es. bike) menù “training options” I don’t know if V2 has the same menù when you choose the type of sport activity M

@OutdoorMan Yes I did. In fact I even did a factory reset. Still no tones, only vibration.

@eurohiker said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: @MarkG edited OP to reflect this! Great input. Thanks eurohiker. I’m a sea kayaker as well as other things. I suppose it just needs to be a similar presentation to weather.eg: HW Mallaig 1530hrs 4.6m, LW 2145hrs 1.6m. A graph would be useful and make calculations faster but the basic info in conjunction with charts (or local knowledge) would be sufficient.

Thanks to @Niels-Søren-Bøgh we have two more items for the software wishlist. 4) Missing Tide Widget Tide widget is mentioned in the manual, but it is not included with the current firmware. The manual says that “The tide widget provides information about the current tide state. It shows the tide height (m), upcoming high and low tides with height and time, wave height, moon phase, and a 24-hour forecast.” When the tide widget is actually released, I hope it can download data for upcoming 3-5 days. Some remote SCUBA locations don’t have wifi connectivity, so it will be important to have the tide widget not go blank without Wifi. Instead the widget should fall back to 3-5 days offline cached data. 5) Underwater Waypoint Navigation As suggested by Niels in the following post: color coded waypoints displayed on the compass dial. Niels’ mock up of the waypoint system: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/14403/considerations-on-simple-underwater-navigation [image: 1767897296443-2b0ce6bd-71e5-4345-8f62-4c2e030a9cc3-image.png] An implementation of waypoint system on Apple Watch compass app: [image: 1767897611082-d092f2a9-a1f9-4ac7-8f35-1967b5f8a906-image.png] [image: 1767897665886-8b4d2407-f207-4aa7-b32d-94a245108614-image.png] This will require sensor fusion, but if implemented this feature will be a godsend for underwater navigation.

@Niels-Søren-Bøgh excellent catch. When the tide widget is actually released, I hope it can download data for upcoming 3-5 days. Some remote SCUBA locations don’t have wifi connectivity, so it will be important to have the tide widget not go blank without Wifi. Instead the widget should fall back to 3-5 days offline cached data.

@Niels-Søren-Bøgh and @hhouter I am miffed about the same issue that compass hides the tank pressure. I made a list of a few software limitations in the following thread, let’s hope Suunto developers are listening: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/14363/software-limitations-of-suunto-nautic-vs-garmin-x50i

@OutdoorMan Thank you. Indeed you can toggle badge (Group Title) visibility under Edit profile. Although I’m not sure additional titles are supposed to be visible automatically by default, the first one reached (Bronze) was definitely visible by default. @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Issues with group Join button erroneously displayed or missing as described in previous posts still applies.

I guess you wanna know if the Guide you have been following is recorded somewhere? No, sadly it isn’t. I know within Garmin FIT files you see what the objective has been that you followed… The other question is whether you can edit the Guide directly on your watch? No, you can’t do that. And even worse, you cannot look into the Guide in advance on the watch…

@Александр-Галюк so what exactly doesn’t work?

@enriqueescoms said in where to find the VO2MAX information?: open the Progress Widget (CTL), scroll down to see it Unless it disappeared after 2.50.26 update. That is the case on my Race S. Instead of the latest VO₂ max, it shows Record at least one outdoor run…, although the widget still lists running estimates further down.

@Matthias-Urbanski Those belts are too old to work with the 9PP. They are ANT protocol belts used with much older watches T6 series and below. You need a Bluetooth transmitting belt.

@MdzOtt Cycling is handled differently than pedestrian activities. It is much easier to calculate distance from cycling as speeds are faster and any deviation in the GPX trace from a bad GNSS signal is minimized since the points are farther apart. What @jjpaz has pointed out is that something has changed in the way running distance is calculated. It is no longer derived solely from GPX distance.

@MdzOtt Please read the four posts above your last one and you will find the answer

@mbvlink have you try to select FW from hidden menu : Go to Settings > General > About Scroll down to the bottom. Hold down the bottom button on your watch. Debug mode will appear. Here, you’ll see the FWs in the “Select OTA Packet” section.

@R which phone are u using? A restart of my Google Pixel 8 pro solved the issue. BTW, I’m blaming Google, since they are currently doing a bad job with other connectivity jobs, too.

Yesterday I have tested indoor swiing with the latest update 2.50.26 and it seems to be to sensitive now. Before it misssed some turning points; ± 2 in 100 laps or 2,5 km. Now i think it has devided soms lenghts in 2, adding 4 or 5 laps on 1,9 km. I can upload my latest fit files if they want to investigate further…
