My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026

I would like to vote for Tides widget too. I get to nerby sea maybe once in a year or less but still i would like to have tides on my wrist and not need to lookup in phone.

And improvement of sports mode customization would be welcomed. Now it is slow because of constant connecting to phone and searching for fields just by scrolling is really bad. I would also like to change order of screens in sport mode without need to delete and recreate in correct order. And be able to create copy of existing sport mode and than change type would be awesome. For example i created cycling and when i want create MTB with exact same fields it would be nice to be able just copy first custom mode and just change type and maybe few fields if needed. Not recreate 95% of same over and over.

And one more thing ability use two graph screen in sport mode. In Ambit 2 times i used to have hearthrate and alitude graph together if my memories are correct. I understand that maybe Suunto 5 din’t have power to do that but Vertical 2 Race 2 are flagship models so i hope thay can handle it.

@Tomas5 I’d like tides too and please forgive me if you already know this. To be useful it needs to be a lot more complicated than just low and high water times. It needs to include these of course but also which reference port (the times are different geographically) and the tide heights at that port at HW and LW.
There is a significant difference in height of water between Spring and Neap tides (and in between), more than enough to make a beach flooded or passable or a channel navigable or dry.

@Tomas5 I like this one, 2 graphs from custom sport modes would be cool. Altitude tracing with trail + heart rate. Adding this to my wishlist

Thanks eurohiker. I’m a sea kayaker as well as other things. I suppose it just needs to be a similar presentation to weather.eg: HW Mallaig 1530hrs 4.6m, LW 2145hrs 1.6m.
A graph would be useful and make calculations faster but the basic info in conjunction with charts (or local knowledge) would be sufficient.

@eurohiker The tides widget would be a great addition. I would also love to see your suggestion about multi-day activities implemented, maybe the ability to keep the activity running in the background and switch to the main watchface.

Not really many things I would like to add, but a couple of things that would help for me are:

Ability to set the days for the alarm clock.
The weather forecast for a few days not hours and wind speed in KPH

Both these relatively minor things make me reach for the phone when I would rather use the phone.

And also the ability to upload a pass - I am not sure if you can already do this as I saw chat about a park run pass. I’d like to be able to upload my local gym pass (barcode) so I do not need to carry my phone when I go for a workout or class,

Voice Guidance via phone speaker
a) Turn-by-Turn Navigation Voice Guidance via phone. “In 50 meters, turn left”. This would be cool if you can do this in the pre-activity menu when selecting SuuntoPlus apps. Currently, you have to run the trail independently on your phone for this.

Garmin added this to their watches. And it couldn’t be turned off. Super irritating if you listen yo music.
That was the final push for me to sell a one year old forerunner 965 and buy a suunto race s.

And also kinda irritating when you do a race or a trail and some people have voice alerts that report every 1k out loud.

(Just reacting to say there are different opinions)

Fully agree, especially that some of the voice notifications couldn’t not be turned off. And I’m general I cannot comprehend why people may want their watch to speak notifications to them when they can simply look at it at any moment.
