Suunto Vertical is here

[Tieutieu]

@freeheeler ok thanks that’s what I had understood, but wanted to confirm

[Egika]

@Tieutieu actually there is no wrist power sensor.
Running power is always an algorithm that takes available sensor data (speed, weight, HR, incline, etc) to calculate a power value to display.

[Tieutieu]

@Egika ok thanks for explanations, I thought there was some hardware dedicated to power

@renton82 They are located 15/20 km from where I live. I have bought there probably more than twenty times (physically twice and the rest online) and it is one of my favourite online shops. I only have had issues once and because one of the products has rupture of stock, and they were cancelling the product but it was still available in the web. Anyway, I have to say that their support team is quite slow.

You need to know some tricks in their web, if they say that you will receive the product the next day it means that they have it in stock if not that means that comes from the brand or distributor warehouse. I love from their web that if you place an order and later you want to add something you can add it to the previous order and everything will be shipped together.

@cosme-costa Thank you!

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
One question, with the battery it has, has it not been planted to have an AMOLED screen or is that prepared for a future version?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Jose-Luis I think you are confusing a little bit here. The battery is not like something we had to change to achieve greatness. For all I know you cannot increase battery life just but adding in more battery like COROS did sometimes (thats why the recalls etc but that is a long story)

[altcmd]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @isazi do past limitations on number of HR sensors apply to Vertical too?

[Freezer]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, @isazi, I have the same question, is it (or will it be) possible to add more than one sensor of the same type - multiple power meters being the most obvious one

[isazi]

@Freezer @altcmd nothing changed in sensor management, but this is being discussed for real, so it could be reworked at some point.

[Jose Luis]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
It is clear that autonomy is not only increased by making the battery bigger.

But he has not answered me , will there be an AMOLED version?

[isazi]

@Jose-Luis there is no AMOLED Vertical being released now, all available watches have been presented last Tuesday.

there will be nobody here answering this, even if we knew. Everyone is under NDA

[EzioAuditore]

@Jose-Luis I know we are all excited with the prospect of Suunto and the future products from a company we love but I do not think it’s fair to ask the guys affiliated with Suunto about future plans. I am sure they are ‘dying’ to tell people about everything but that will not bring any good right? Imagine they said yes there is amoled vertical coming in near future… this is example of shooting yourself in the leg. The sales would sink, everybody would postpone buying (well maybe not everyone since I don’t like oled at all! Shining everywhere you go especially in darker environments, eating battery much faster in the sun than mips… but again that may just be me).

[Ketoohs]

@Hristijan-Petreski Yeah, I would sure like to see Suuntos road-map for implementing new functionalities, so if any of you NDA guys, could look the other way and leak something…

[EzioAuditore]

@Ketoohs Right yes The mere fact we have this forum and the people associated to Suunto giving us immediate feedback is a bless no other company has (at least in my experience). Yes Garmin has the forum but there is only one or 2 administrators and the answer is: I will add you to the issue so you’ll be informed… (when I was complaining about F6Sapphire that hiking HR being too low and the distance too short - but if you use walking is fine - took them 1 year to fix, and the instant pace being rubbish - never fixed except with the F7X - and they even used it as marketing accurate instant pace… wtf).

[herlas]

@isazi how about the forgotten pool swimmers? Any chance drill mode and swim style learning ( both features present on ambits) is discussed for real? No jokes this is a must for pool swimming, (avaliable S+ app is not exactly it for first point )

[isazi]

@herlas many testers do swim and ask internally what you are also asking.

Very good to know!
