My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026

MikeC30

This is not limited to the vertical 2 and I note other comments on the same issue previously. More detail when zoomed out on the maps at 1, 2 and 5km would be really helpful. Particularly some contour lines to give an idea of the terrain and some points of interest like hill summits.

The map for Scotland is one file, I would happily have smaller areas covered by a map but with more detail to maintain the responsiveness on the watch. A lot of the terrain in my country is featureless so when zoomed out on the watch all I can see on the maps are green or grey which doesn’t give you a sense of the environment you are in to help orientate yourself. This an issue when exploring without using a downloaded route to aid navigation.

Well, for now we don’t even have trails when zooming out beyond 200m, although reportedly some improvements are coming soon. And while we are there, please improve the contrast so that trails aren’t rendered as dark green on light green. Please render trails with black color on the default map and with other higher contrast colors on other types of maps! Or least least make them wider lines.

Seeing summits on the map would be great!

Also, it would be nice to have option to choose if I want turn notifications 20m before turn like now, good for running but too late for cycling, or 100m like it was before

User requests are heard and changes are coming…

Map changes have been mentioned (also from Suunto), but I’d also agree wtih those.

Notifications for training events in training separate from notifications from smartphone (and in daily use) would be the big thing for me. I didn’t much appreciate it when I could only train after my usual bedtime, for which I had auto DND turned on, and then didn’t get any notifications (except with the screen pop-up) for the next step in my training…

@Brad_Olwin I look forward to a watch face design for people without eagle sharp sight.

For my part, I would like to see the following introduced:

Re-calculation of data in the app if you have edited, for example, elevation (treadmill running), to include this in the statistics.

a. For example, I also do treadmill workouts. For example, I do 700 up for 11km uphill. After editing the workout and entering 700 up in the field, the watch and the app still say I have 0 m. up.

b. For example, Suunto recently announced a competition for the number of ascents. I can’t break records if I can’t transfer the data from the treadmill to the app

c. The same applies to calories when integrating with bike navigation systems such as Garmin or Karoo. The number of calories is 0 after synchronization, although you can edit the workout and enter your data from Garmin/Karoo. Unfortunately, the Suunto app does not re-calculate this and does not synchronize with the watch.

Bug fixes.
Introducing new features
Improving what already exists.

@Adrian.S agree on treadmill elavation gain, would be nice if one could edit it on the watch after the run, like distance but at least we have elevation gain in the app now for treadmill, so step by step.

Improving notifications representation. It is ridiculous to not have possibilities to read entire message.

Adrian.S

@aiv4r Unfortunately, after editing the elevation in Suunto app, it still isn’t re-calculated, which I reported in this thread:
