Lets’ just say Suunto Vertical is here

1.optical hr accuracy seems poor from all reviewers

OHR is quite complicated, I had very bad results until a month and a half ago, now it is very good running/walking and biking. The only issue I had lately was mountain biking where for part of the activity it tracked too low.

2. V02max estimate for dc rainmaker well below all other watches.

Nothing changed about VO2max, but Suunto may move from Firstbeat at some point.

Another question Now with the 32gb of memory is there restriction in how many routes can the vertical hold?

As of today, the external storage is for maps and S+ apps. But never say never, as more things may be moved there in the future.

Quite a minor detail, but will the vertical come in that awesome black box we saw on the teasing traillers or not at all?
And what about the matching merchandising, will it be available for sale?

Till now this video is one of the more complete I have seen

it touches also the minor details that could be improved.
Waiting to see more comparison reviews with other watches

@André-Faria the watch is shipped in a small “cube” shaped box, like most Suunto watches before it.

Preordered (and have to run by my fiancee before they arrive ). Switching from Garmin Fenix 7 back to Suunto

For these reasons:

• battery life - if it is as claimed, then it is a gamechanger! During my important run (120k FKT attempt) my F7 died (fortunately pacer has been tracking), Garmin proved that the battery estimates vary a lot (maps drain a lot of battery, backlight turns unnecessarily on)
• the lag in maps! With F7 the lag before the map actually turns is really annoying and sometimes I have to wait or do some steps in one direction and then go back if I am on the wrong path, based on the reviews the Vertical is smooth and fast in this regard!
• design. Suunto has beautiful design.
• Mobile app. Finally I can get rid of the terrible Garmin app and go back to the beautiful and useful Suunto app!

This aspect has not gotten enough love yet: The Vertical maps turn and scroll super smooth and instantly!!

@isazi @gone-troppo HR inaccuracy on S9B drove me crazy to the point that I’ve started using a chest strap for ALL activities, even walking. I was just standing and the watch said my HR was 170. Now with S9PP it’s much much much better. No chest strap during walking anymore.

[pilleus]

Is the Vertical able to track and show the heart rate variability? I didn’t find any information on the Suunto website.

[isazi]

@pilleus it tracks it, it does not report it for now. But Suunto App will allow this soon enough.

@Highlands The new Vertical straps are available separately now:

Pity, would be cool for the ones that pre ordered.

Ho appena ordinato il Vertical Black Lime…

@Hristijan-Petreski it is very individual. I also mainly train running and the inability to pair 2 different HR accessories is probably(?) at the top of my list of complaints when it comes to Suunto watches. I hope they will correct this soon.

[EzioAuditore]

@aroo7 I am sorry for asking and trying to understand. How will you use the data coming from 2 different HRs? So what will be the HR reported by the watch? The 1st or the 2nd HR source? Or are you just referring to have it in the list of HRs and not need to go through the re-paring process?

[Highlands]

@Egika Very nice selection of colors.
