@FunkyLarma Thats a good point. I have the white one and it offers other things like Cadence and something else I cannot remember at the moment. I think those did create issues, but it finally started working in the last software update. I had horrible issues with it for a while because it would drop if another BT signal was available and it was almost as if the other device would cut in and turn off the connection to my Vertical 2. It was a mess.

@matram ok right. I was confused. Workouts != activities. I can try to implement a workout upload but I see that ideally you need api access to suunto. for that I suppose you should mail them unfortunately.

@Murphy59 as the intervals created in the Suunto app have this information, I guess, that Training Peaks need to change their guide screens…

@LGoSo I think there would be three points to consider here: As I understand it, the model is a Rolson 50799. The manufacturer doesn’t specify its accuracy, but in that price range, I believe it will be between 0.1% and 0.5% (meaning the margin of error would be between 0.5 m and 2.5 m over a distance of 500 m). For such uneven terrain, a wheel with a circumference of around 1 m might not be the most suitable option; for these cases, measuring wheels with a circumference of around 2 m are used. If the terrain has a noticeable slope, as seems to be the case, we wouldn’t just be assessing the accuracy of the watch’s GNSS, but also that of its altimeter. (In reality, the distance should be compared against the result of using the ‘3D Distance’ option on the watch, which I assume Suunto uses by default since it isn’t available as a toggle.)

@peegee If I understood correctly than yes same button on Vertical 2 can zoom in / zoom out. Short press zoom in long press zoom out. Same like middle button: short press advance screen long press go back (previous). Cheers!

@Triumph114 Thanks, yes have that working, it intermittent which is the annoying part.

Best Suunto watch so far (3 years anniversary), after t6c and Ambit 3 Vertical. It fully satisfied my need (I prefer having fartlek sessions over fine-grained training plans, so I am probably missing many advanced features). Never got a single crash. Just got disappointed by the OHR hardware quality.

@dreamer_ good suggestion, I don’t have access to an android device but I agree that would be ideal. I can try my wife’s iPhone running iOS 17 (I think). Appreciate the suggestion.

@elbee thank you so much for the very detailed answer. That 5% per hour with dual band and using maps is not that bad. It seems better than I thought. I understand that before the update battery life was more similar to the numbers Suunto says.

@Mister-PYC a widget for Fasting is my ambition here.

@garyt687 When setting compass bearing at surface, sometimes u descend and it undoes the bearing. I know in manila it says stay in compass view - but it has sometimes reset on me even in that screen as soon as dive starts. This is useless. We want to set things and leave them not have a computer decide to turn them off 10 seconds afterwards. Please change that The Compass Bearing is active for 5 Minutes above water. Then Suunto resets the bearing. I have noted this also as something that can eaily confuse people setting the Bearing at the parking and during walk to the water entrance will loose the bearing fix. Suunto should fix that.But I overcome this by setting my bearing jsut before going under water. Within 5 minutes and under water it remains active and set.

@Highlands said in Suunto Vertical 1 – A Few Questions About the Future + Questions About the Vertical 2 and a Comparison with the Coros Nomad / the New Vertix 2026: @dreamer_ I hope they put a sapphire crystal on R2S. About this, I think my wife’s 46mm Run could fit a 1.4 inches screen. Perhaps they could fit that screen aize in the Race 2 S playing with the bezels and making you think the watch is not that “S” but something comparable to a Fenix 8 47mm . That simple change would make a lot of noise for marketing in my opinion and very likely much better sales (just for that)

@Joaquin Be careful not to chase perfection and in the end nothing is completed. The komoot route is a bit cumbersome and komoot is far from perfect (even if I tell komoot to not change the route, the route on my suunto race s is different than on my wife’s apple watch.) The garmin/wahoo way (select a gpx file and use the open with app) would be an improvement, even if not all tbt alerts are perfect. My first gps watch (a ambit 3 sport) only had breadcrumb navigation. Did I ever got lost? No. My watch after that, a forerunner 935, had breadcrumb and tbt alerts. (Which didn’t work well. A route could only have 50 navigation alerts and if you did your route reversed you lost all tbt alerts). Did I ever got lost? No. My first watch with maps (a forerunner 965) and having some context is nice. Eventually garmin fixed the 50 alert limit, but not the reverse problem and they introduced a timing bug (up to 10k the alerts are before a corner, after 20k alerts are in a corner, or after). And yes, on a twisty road you get alerts for every corner. Did I ever get lost? No. Now I have a suunto. Komoot is fine, but could be better. Autodetect of going reverse is good. No problem if I do a round route and the end is detected before the start (garmin has problems with this. Navigations stops when you reach the goal, which could be before you actually started). Autozoom actually works as one would except (garmin had autozoom, but that doesn’t work, or not as one should expect). But do I get lost ever? No. In the end, all are equally good in the “do not get lost” requirement. Is everything perfect? No. But don”t wait until everything is perfect. Release small steps. Get feedback. Improve some more.

@Niels-Søren-Bøgh I agree with this, and I was actually thinking about making a post like this myself.

@Squirrel completely agree. In fact, at this moment is very likely the Race and Race S are the only watches of the market without the white/red implementation. It’s not something critical, of course. But now everybody seems to like the flashlight in the watch, it’s one of those details that are very visible
