      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 🤷

        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

        Had a play around this morning, it’s unusable. 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 ?

                                @rooldaa maybe I’ll change the battery and see if it helps. Today OHR was consistent with two wrong readings, which is good enough for me.

                                    @BrunoH Yes I agree it’s a sport watch, but I’m still wondering why you can confgure everything in sport modes and nothing in watchfaces. I have only one watch on my wrist every days, at work, at home, for sport practise and this is Suunto Vertical. And all my sport colleagues have an unique watch too. It should not be so difficult to allow displaying particular datas on the screen…Garmin does that with Fenix models… Wait and see !

                                      @Enrique-0 configuring complications is in very alpha test, but it has been tested, and it may come later this year.

                                          @Enrique-0 of course, like other things that have been tested in the past, it could also never come to production because of many reasons.

                                            @MiniForklift my S9B also has crazy high HR readings. I always have to use a strap except if I’m just walking/hiking when it’s OK. My Suunto 7 is actually not too bad OHR. Not great, but reasonable.

                                            Best OHR I have is my Forerunner 245. It’s brilliant. HR readings are always within a beat or so of my H10 strap. Maybe it’s the small size? Sits better on the wrist? Either way I love the look and size of the Suunto’s so I don’t mind needing to wear a strap 90% of the time.
