Reddit is a cesspool of “why should I buy a ____” or “I come from Garmin and this is what Suunto should do” posts.
As the sole moderator of r/Suunto, I’m interested in feedback on what I can do to make it a better place for Redditors.
it has a pretty bad AI bot problem. eg https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/comments/1e16g5d/use_of_botsllmsuunto_sales_folk_in_the_comments/
they also give bad troubleshooting advice. it’s pretty easy to spot them.

@dankcushions I took over moderating the sub after this point (an interesting story actually) and have been actively removing obvious AI bot comments and posts. If any still remain, report them and they’ll show up in the mod queue, from which I can handle them from there.

@atoponce I think the other 2 said it well. You can’t teach a shitzu to hunt. (actually I am not sure about that, but it seems to work well with the picture I am trying to draw.) People are not going to change their behaviors or learn to be more thoughtful because it is the right thing to do. We are at a very selfish time in history where bad behavior is reinforced every day.
We live in a society where people have little or no attention span and are dare I say selfish to the point where they do not want to do a search because they think that the unique answers they get for their questions on reddit will be different. Secondly people seem to not mind that because the majority of their requests get answered or agreed with. Thirdly the point below about downvoting, that drives me mad. I do not understand when we because a society where if we do not agree with someone we will downvote them even if what they are saying is fact or there is no right answer it is just opinion in a situation where opinions have been asked for. For all I know it could be bots or Garmin fanboys having a laugh.
I still go to the reddit and try to help if I can. I will get fatigue there sometimes, but TBH I have had that here lately as well. There are amazing little gems of wisdom in most of the topics if you read them, but lately I just have to stop reading because of all the complaining on and on about their thing that like on reddit has been asked or reported a million times.

@Stavrogin I agree so much with what you say. This forum for me has been brilliant. I have learnt loads and the are so many helpful and knowledgeable people.
But lately the repetitive complains and often arrogant comments make it hard work reading at times.
I came from Garmin, have a Wahoo also. And couldn’t be happier with the V2, or the V1 before it. Brilliant tools. And the only “tool” I have a slight emotional attachment to.
Maybe it is because I am older and remember the days of paper maps, measuring distance with maps wheel and counting contour lines. But bloody hell what ever brand you choose we have amazing kit out there.

@Audaxjoe
this I why I find myself less active on the forum lately. Meanwhile I use my watches and keep on trying to maintain fitness during winter time ! -
@Audaxjoe I can see what you are saying and while I am not impacted by the battery drain and other errors, I can understand why the mood and communication changed over the last months.
I feel growing frustration inside the community and especially from those that bought the new, more expensive models. And I can fully understand the frustration as Suunto claimed to have fixed problems when they weren’t and new problems were added. There are people here on this forum that put so much effort into troubleshooting for Suunto and trying to solve bugs. Despite that, no official appreciation, communication or road map from Suunto developers and the forum moderators have to somehow carry the can for that behavior and lack of open communication. Of course, costumers are upset after what happened over the last months… -
@brave_dave I’m one of the new ones, so maybe I’m one of the problems for the negativity on this forum. If so here is my honest apology.
I’m happy with my Vertical 2. I think it’ll last the next 5, maybe 6 years and that’s what I was going for. I think a watch shouldn’t cost more than €100,- per year
It was quite a jump to pay €630,- for a watch. For me that’s not cheap. I was a bit sceptical with the tilted screens and the battery drain. It felt like taking a risk.
On both issues I was affected. The screen tilt was not big enough to send it back and (maybe) get one back with more problems. The battery drain seems to be over, while I don’t use the H10 anymore since it seems to be causing it.
Maybe what sounded negative on the forum was a honest attempt to make the watch work for me and match my expectations. It does now! The only ‘scare’ I have right now is that Suunto will release a new watch in the next 2 or 3 years that will match my wishes on the navigation, without upgrading older models. But the Vertical 2 does the job OK. I think this is not Suunto’s style and I’ll get updates in the future.
If this was negative as well, here are some positives: ++++++

9PP WHR 24/7 stopped working during night again
A shiver runs down my spine…
Currently, @Jaxxdu (https://forum.suunto.com/post/180232) and you had (again) the “pleasure” of this bug… Very very well! So, I’m waiting for it.
Finally (…), after more than a month since this update, the OHR sensor gave up during last night. I’ve managed to switch on the sensor by switching on then off the power saving mode; moreover, I’ve sent logs.
