Suunto Vertical is here

@freeheeler , @mikekoski490, @Tieutieu, @Kramble
I have had mine since 20/03/23 (Ti Solar). I cannot find scratches.

@Brad_Olwin
good to know!

concerning this point I have read that with the vertical it seems to be possible to synchronise new routes or waypoints even during a current exercice ?
I can already do this even on my Spartan
Ok…I tought/it seems to me that I can’t synchronise the app with my S9B during an exercice (“watch is occupied” message ? ). Or I missed something…
You can add a route during exercise but not sync the exercise, not sure about S9b but I think so.

@Brad_Olwin said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:
@ink357 I used an Epix 2 for 6 months and I am not convinced maps are needed. Not sure how useful maps are on a watch. BTW, I use maps a lot. Yes the competition has maps so Suunto needs them but from my experience they are less useful than I anticipated.
@Brad_Olwin I’m curious if your opinions on maps have changed after testing the Vertical all this time.

@Brad_Olwin such a beautiful piece of engineering. You’re making us impatient

Good question
On the Epix2 the maps reduced battery life significantly, I was not happy about that. Since Garmin maps are routable the battery hit is significant. On Suunto much less so, especially with the Solar panel. Yes, there are occasions where I will not have to get my phone out but, many times I will have to look at a larger map on the phone.For an ultra race……I would probably pick my 9PP, it is so light and has sufficient battery. For my typical long run or SkiMo in the mountains where I am often off trail, I would use the Vertical. Maps are good but I really want a zoomable route elevation profile colored by grade with real time ascent/descent data based on the zoom level.

@Kramble for sure titanium version will be a bit less sensible to scratches…but anyway I would conclude this way : If your suunto doesn’t have sratches, push harder and bring it further. It is an adventure device !
So true, but it still hurts when your watch gets scratched.

You’re right, when your watch scratches it often means your arm was hurt !!

@Hristijan-Petreski
routes stored in SA are also available to sync to the watch without network afairProbably a dumb question but for routes that are already in my SA for my S9, when I sync those to my Vertical I assume they get the full colour map treatment? Or will that not happen for the routes I created ages ago?

@MiniForklift
Routes and maps are different layers on the same view, as far as I’ve understood.
So I don’t expect any “issues” -
@MiniForklift, maps are independant from routes. You could/can use your vertical with no maps at all
-
Before anyone panics that’s in New Zealand dollars, not American. So now I guess we wait

@taziden the real question is here, in the comments:
Can it run Doom ?How many FPS for Doom ? -

Think of it this way, you’re paying $1,000 to ship a heavily discounted watch. Worth it, no?

Any issues with ‘ghost notifications’ with the Vertical? That’s always been a bit of a PITA with my S9B
-
And straps?
-
@sartoric Not commenting on the comment
but the GBP price is higher than the EUR one by a bit… -
@Hristijan-Petreski it’s not about using two sensors at the same time. @Likarnik explained it well with the example of cycling. If you use more than one accessory of a particular type in your training, e.g. HR chest belt and OHR armband every time you want to use a particular device you have to pair with the watch again - this is very annoying. I guess only suunto has this limitation.

That moment when you come home for the weekend… and there waiting for you is a small package in the shape of a cube

@taziden we have doom. Let me see if we can share.
