Battery consumption on Vertical 2
-
My first “normal” week with Vertical 2:
- Charged to 100% on sunday evening.
- AOD on, Notifications on, Sleep tracking on, 24/7 hr on.
- Activities: 10:14 hrs total
- eMTB 5:08 hrs, GPS best setting, HR belt (1 hr commute every workday)
- Walking 2:23 hrs, GPS best setting, no HR belt
- Weight training 2:08 hrs, HR belt
- Pool Swimmig 0:35 hrs, no HR belt
- Next sunday evening the battery was at 24%
Not sure if this is what I should get, but at the moment I think this feels ok. Did not do any running this week so hopefully 1-2 hrs of running will still get me the whole week without charging.

Grundsätzlich ist es empfehlenswert nach jedem Update entweder einen einfachen Neustart zu machen oder sogar einen Force Reset.
Für letzteres den oberen Knopf so lange gedrückt halten bis die Uhr neu startet. Dabei alles ignorieren und den Knopf nicht loslassen. -

I would like to make my Vertical 2 better.
It’s eating amperes like it’s chocolate.
First use:
no activities. After 15 hours 18% battery drain. No activities.Second use:
I recharged the device. Turned off the discovery mode.In 7 days I had: 100% percent to 15%. With 4,5 h running activities, 1,5 h of this were with HR-band. I found it had a drain of 3 - 4 %/h. That’s with maps on.
Third use:
I’ve disabled any notifications and Oxygen as well. After 6 hours it drained to 95%. During the night (8 hours) it drained to 92%. The day was a bit better. At the start of the evening it’s 88%. Now I did a soft reset just now. We’ll see what it does.Those first 10% are weird. The second day was a bit more in line of the expectation.
How long did it took did your watch take the time to settle in a good battery drain? I’m more than a week in now. I would like to know before my return in 30 days ;-).
Right now I’m not concerned. But one of the reason I bought a watch with a long battery life is durability. I want to use this watch for at least 5 years and be able to run 24 hours with it. Since batteries are draining faster when it gets older, it’s nice to have a lot of buffer at the start.

@Horizontal_2 I am now on my third Suunto, 9 Baro which I kept for 4 years, V1 which was 2 plus years old. I noticed no difference in battery consumption on either watch.
On the V2 I am getting about 9 days with 10-12 hours GPS a week and about 6 non GPS.
Watch is on AOD but needing a button press to make the screen active.
24h heart rate is off. Sleep tracking is off. Notification are on. Brightness levels are low.
In GPS mode I’m very impressed with V2.
For reference with the V1 I’d get about 2 weeks with similar GPS.

@cosme.costa In my case, this condition never had to be met. Apart from the well-known incident a year ago, I have noticed normal battery consumption in SV1.
