Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion

Martin Vrska

@Audaxjoe Yes, I have it set to: full wake mode - medium brightness - always on display: off.

Martin Vrska

@Brad_Olwin Yes: I raise my hand, the display lights up. I press the middle button (in my case, the widget with HRV), but the watch doesn’t respond. Only when I press the bottom or top button and the watch wakes up does the middle button respond as it should. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1quab4uFF63MXh8eJekxQ495aGKxaxHcC/view?usp=drive_link)

I have the same problem. Plus a lot more (battery drain and bugs). I am returning my v2 and keep the v1 instead

How is the built quality of the watch? I saw people commenting on tilted screens and loose buttons.

@BastMaSVSRS9PP, I really wanted to like this watch, but those quality issues with the screen are a turn off for me. I’d better look at something more mature.

Audaxjoe

@BastMaSVSRS9PP No issues with my V2. Buttons feel solid, same as V1 and screen is fine.

Can an update fix this error?

EDIT: I went back to FW 2.42.42 and so far the problem seems to be gone.

you are talking about the Race 1 battery here?

I´m talking about battery life compare V2 vs. R1.

I gave my son a V2 as a gift, but unfortunately it was defective because the screen was tilted. I requested a RMA and the new one just arrived. Problem solved.

That’s decent of Suunto.
Thanks a lot for letting us know.

The watch hasn’t been released for sale in Türkiye yet.
I’ll check it out when it arrives.
I hope we don’t experience these problems here either.

Asking again: can’t we have only “Baro” on top of the graph instead of trying to fit the whole word “Barometer”?

Antoine Lancrenon

I just realized something V1 is the mip version of the V2.
V2 is not a replacement, just an improvement. this is how it is marketized as a matter of fact.

suunto is keeping the v1 and v2 in parallel. I understand now why there is no MiP V2. it is to soon. both wiil get similar updates (until when?? this is the question) it is confirming that Ill wait for the v3. I am only attracted by the led torch, I still love my V1 and his solar/mip capacities. and is more than enough in terms of performance, even if I am a tech geek, I’ll wait

Doodoo Runner

@Antoine-Lancrenon I believe once the V1 is sold out then that is it for production.

Antoine Lancrenon

@Doodoo-Runner a yes? there are terminating the producion of v1!? may be there are lots of stock. it is weird giving the marketing:

Suunto Vertical 2
Ultimate adventure watch for outdoor expeditions and training — improved

where as v1:

Suunto Vertical
Adventure watch for outdoor expeditions and training.

I can’t take it anymore with the HR sensor bug that randomly shuts off. It messes up all my sleep stats, which are crucial for me!!! I have sleep disorders and with Suunto I can’t monitor properly. I have to sleep with 2 watches…

Egika

I do have information, that Vertical 1 will be continued.

My Vertical 2 touchscreen goes wild in the shower. This morning it activated an alarm from my stored alarms. Did some reading here and found another victim and some older posts about disabling the touchscreen. So is there now any possibility to disable only touchscreen input and not the buttons when not doing a workout? It would be nice to have a toggle that you could switch like “Do not disturb” mode has. I did read the manual (I never read manuals, things should just work… ) and only found a way to disable touchscreen and buttons during workouts. Actually I think I could use the watch with only the buttons all the time.

I’m new to watches with touchscreens as my old one was Garmin Fenix 5x plus and my last Suunto was Ambit 2. Did not anticipate this kind of little things when getting a touchscreen watch

In other ways I really like this watch. Still getting used to the different metrics it has compared to my old watch. The battery life is impressive for a watch with an amoled screen!
