Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion

OutdoorMan

@helgonet12 for me the behaviour during the day is more realistic. But I am back on 99% every morning, which is not so realistic. Honestly I don’t really care, I know how I feel. My main concern is the battery drain…

@Kurt68 I have been reporting this since the beginning for Race 2 and Vertical 2, apparently for some people (me included) it does not work. I am always in the 90% range, no matter what

@isazi Yesterday, after 90min gravel ride, resources dropped down to 60% which seems quite reasonable to me.

@isazi Interesting, does it work different than in the “old” generation? Or did you have the same experience with Race 1? For me it is plausible on Race S most of the time

Kurt68

@isazi The wake phase detection at night doesn’t work for me either. Last night, I got up to go to the bathroom and the watch didn’t record any wake phases.

@Josaiplu Man, it will be nice. Finally full offline watches.

This is not possible, right? Is there a correct updated manual out there? If not, can someone forward this? Thanks.

Josaiplu

Just receive mine… damn this is the most comfortable suunto I ever wear
And it is lighter than my enduro 3 by few grams but I feel much more lighter as it is way thinner

@Josaiplu Congrats on your purchase. How do the buttons feel? Solid like the ones of V1?

Josaiplu

@Highlands thanks, they are less sturdy, moving a little bit laterally, feels solid but not like tank solid, the watch finish and quality is still impressive

@Kurt68 Same for me tonight

@isazi On my side I’m always at 99%

Hi. I’ve noticed phantom touches in the shower with the SV2 after gym activity (possibly sweat?), something I’d never noticed before on the RC 1. The screen went into settings and activated POWER SAVING mode.
I know I could leave it outside the shower, but I’m worried about the screens changing during swimming. Is there any activation involved? Has anyone experienced this?

Elmiuel

Hello again. What I’ve noticed is that on my (Vertical 2), when the morning briefing is enabled or available, the flashlight cannot be activated or any action given with a button. Once you’ve read or canceled the morning briefing, you can activate it.
You can even see that the flashlight is on after the briefing is completed or canceled. The morning briefing disables functions during this time.

In case someone already knows… How scratch-resistant is the black/dark grey crown on the titanium version?

Josaiplu

@Elmiuel in my understanding the shortcuts only works when you are on the watch face so as the morning report is a different screen it is not supposed to work in the current implementation. In the dc rainmaker review it says that Suunto is aware of these “issues” (like the fact flash light did not remember last brightness) and it will maybe be corrected we’ll see

Elmiuel

@Josaiplu Thanks Josaiplu

@Elmiuel I have the V1 and that does also suffer from phantom swipes in the shower

@helgonet12 for me it got after two weeks good with Race 2. During work day when i am at office a usually get from 100% to 70-80% but if i do some hike or ride i can get lower than 50%. And i didn’t do really exhausting activity yet. So for me it looks good. Better than old Suunto 5 where i used all resources by sitting at PC

Guys as I mentioned before I had used S9B for over 5 years V2 has a bit different menu and I cannot find option to change/choose GPS satellites. I mean GPS+Galileo or Glonass etc. Where is it?
