However, one annoying thing is that theres no way that screen gets dark during night (at least, I haven‘t found it). Would be nice if this could get implemented in one of the updates that one could chose a dark mode during sleep time.
Settings > Sleep > Auto Do Not Disturb (turn on and set your average bed times and wake times). Backlight and notifications will not activate, and you need to do a button press to activate backlight.
-
@isazi it would be great if it was possible when interacting with watch during night/evenings you could cover the watch face with your hand and the watch would turn dim to “normal” state. Or turn of the backlight.

Tried the OHR for the first time yesterday, completely different readings to when I use the chest strap and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to like my wrist. Very low HR readings throughout my 7.5km run, whenever I looked it was in the region of 100-120bpm. Bit of a bummer but oh well, everything else is awesome about the watch
-
Unfortunately I get the same low readings luckily everything else about the watch is great
-
It’s weird about the readings because my S9B was exactly the opposite - crazy high readings. I was hoping the Vertical would allow me to ditch the chest strap as the reviews for its OHR were generally pretty positive
-
@MiniForklift
try to play with it for position, tightness of the strap etc. I found that it is quite good when I go for runs but also intervals -
I thought the opposite most of the reviews I saw had questionable hr data so i bought it knowing that the ohr might not be that accurate. Pretty sure rainmaker and a few others the pommy guy had issues.
-
@MiniForklift for me the OHR is currently more precise than the belt(suunto). As weird as that sounds.
I ran for the first time with the belt since having the Vertical and the readings were crazy high. Especially when my t-shirt was full of sweat.
The OHR is showing consistent values with sometimes a spike in the first kilometer.
-
Same for me. Works flawlessly on warmer days. In winter it tends to be a bit irregular however.
-
Just for comparison, here are a couple of runs that were similar in effort. First is using the chest strap…
This one is using the Vertical’s OHR
There’s a huge variance between the two, and FWIW I wasn’t working particularly hard on either of them so who knows

Today it had me at 200bpm when I was just jogging along pretty easily, so I picked up the pace and intensity to see what would happen and it dropped right down into the 140’s
Tried it on a couple of different straps but it’s absolutely all over the place. I’ll just go back to the using the chest strap
-
@MiniForklift have you tried positioning two fingers above wrist bone? Besides that, try on both hands, OHR is pretty personal as we have discovered. In my case since S9P OHR I found that out for some reason it likes my right hand more. Works fine enough for recovery runs and Z2 and Z3, when it comes to quality workouts, belt is always better

-
@MiniForklift I suppose you have tried it already but I have to tighten the strap one hole more than during normal use for OHR to work. Otherwise my measurements are also all over the place. Also the readings get better during the activity. At the start it tends to fluctuate much more than 15 minutes into a run.
-
I personally use the chest strap 95% of the time or more, only during easy walks I use OHR. But I’ve been testing the Vertical’s OHR and it’s always the same as the chest strap for me (in the past three months let’s say, before it was a different story).
-
For me OHR is unusable on the SV. It‘s ok for 24/7 HR, but for everything else I need a H10 or Verity Sense. It doesn‘t matter what sport I do, where I place the watch or how tight I wear the watch. Most of the time it displays HR around my resting HR. I had the best results with the S9P. S9PP was worse and SV is like S9B (unusable). As others have mentioned, OHR is highly personal, and for me no watch OHR works. There is only one exception: Apple Watch. I am ok with that, I wasn‘t expecting that the SV works for me in this regard. Whoever has the same problem as me: use a Verity Sense or OH1. It‘s comfortable and very close to a chest strap, sometimes even better. I would buy it over and over again.

I was wondering why Suunto allows sport modes settings, and why we still can’t do anything about watchfaces.
Does anybody has any informations about Suunto roadmap and the ability in the next months to customize watchfaces on the Vertical model, or to install new one like widgets ? -

no one knows, and who knows can’t tell, due to NDA

@sartoric Im getting the impression the June update now is bug/hot fixes only, and no new features added yet.(?)

@mikekoski490
Yep, as it is an hotfix
