Vertical Week watchface

@Jer075 I think this watchface looks so nice because it has statically assigned data and visual consistency is maintained.
When introducing optional changes, the visual chaos known from many other watchfaces may appear.

Nice one. I like the landscape mesh in the background.

Although I have to say that I didn’t immediately recognize it as such on the vertical. At first I thought I still had dirt on the display.

Anyone already received the message in the app to join the vertical week?

The announcement on the website said: “If you are ready for the challenge, simply go to Suunto app, click “join” in the Vertical Week message that appears in Suunto app and get ready to start climbing.”
But the app still contains no information about this.

@mabe2k I have received it about 10 days ago ; notification is not available anymore in SA.
My wife has no notification also in SA but I suspect she just missed the push notification

I received a notification but with no text, and nothing found in the app.

I didn’t get any notification yet perhaps it is because I‘m not on Strava?

@SuperFlo75

I’m on Strava, joined and finished the challenge 150 m ascent (1 million vertical meters with Suunto and Pow), but I didn’t receive any message IN SA about the start of the vertical week.

However the S+ app on my S9PP is working and showing the total ascent of the vertical week.

I never got this message in SA… but they write it in social media

@SuperFlo75 past years I always got the notification, this year nothing.

Vertical week on Strava, leader day 1: 6500 m ascent. ️

It’s strange with the vertical week. No announced registration of participation in the app, no certainty as to whether starting the S+ app on the watch when recording an activity is sufficient for participation, no information in the app as to where I currently stand with my total ascent.

The display on the clock that shows Top 20 or 50 or 10 is the comparison with the community’s values from the last (!) week.

And I have to join the challenge in Strava to see where the participants and I currently stand.

Very strange.

How does it actually work with the watch faces: Are they automatically updated when changes are made or do I have to download them again?

I really do like this watch face. The overall appearance. The way, timers fit in. The “Adventure Starts Here” slogan. Especially on the AOD.
The outline on AOD reminds me a lot of the AOD on my Epix Pro.

I think this watchface is very nice that it would be worth leaving it in its current form, and making any changes or customisations on a different, new version/copy of this watchface.

Have any of you managed to find the 15% code on the Suunto website?

I completed the challenge, but the rewards button leads to a blank landing page.

watch faces auto-update when there is a new version published

In my 9PP I’ve found this watchface revealing, in the sense that whitin the limits of the resolution and size of its MIP display Suunto has manageed still draw surprisingly well detailed items (the background mesh, the logo…). This is the way to go. Very happy, and looking forward to new ones.

@runomatic I completed it and received an email from Strava like this one. When you click on the button it gets you to the page with the code (it doesn’t look individual) and asks you for your email address if you want to participate in the prize draw.

Okay, thanks.

I found out how to get around the problem.

Seems like there is a problem depending on which country you access it with (in my case Germany).

I opened a private browser tab and then selected the global Suunto website. It worked there.

You can then select Germany again for the country in the form.

The code has arrived.

Sorry for the off-topic. Well, it almost fits.

What I find most incomprehensible is the fact that Strava also counts activities that are recorded manually and those that only generate virtual ascent (without moving one meter uphill or downhill).

What does that have to do with the actual purpose of the Vertical Week?
