I keep hearing the screen resolution is so much better than 9 Baro or Suunto 9 PP

Screen resolution is better but then the screen is larger. The pixel density is the same between SV and S9PP. SV should have the next generation MIPS panel though, with improved contrast and brightness.

@Brad_Olwin 175/69 here and I am very satisfied with the S9B. Yes it is big but I need a big display, difficult to see the numbers on a small watch when wearing lenses So I am very happy that the Vertical is almost as “big” as the S9B

[mikekoski490]

@NickK Thanks. I heard the pixel density was also improved. 240X240 vs 280X280 for the Vertical as well (or is it basically just the same because the screen is larger?). Still - would be nice to see some photos from those of you lucky enough to have your Verticals up a running already!

@mikekoski490 It’s 1.2" diameter 240x240 for S9PP and 280x280 for 1.4" SV. Of course, in our day and age display “pixels” aren’t necessarily equal physical screen pixels like in the days of yore, but at least on Garmin or COROS side, with a similar progression of resolutions you’d be hard pressed to see more pixels in larger screens. They have more data yes, but the rendering is the same.

@mikekoski490 Big difference between screens. Suunto Vertical screen is much brighter.

@mikekoski490 another pic, during workout. HR zones ring looks funny because it’s so thin and thus pixelated and uneven width (especially top one). It would look better to be wider like zone in use

@mikeorbreak Here are some comparison pictures S9B and SV!
You asked for it

Thanks, in comparison the SV really looks much nicer!

[mikekoski490]

@Miš-Kan Awesome! Thank you!!

I was worried about upgrading from A3PS to S9B because of screen readability, but I found the S9B better. then came peak and pro and I’ve had the impression readability was constantly improved. now the Vertical is again even better

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos hi! I downloaded two regions. I did my first test (walk activity) without issue with maps I also used a route during my test.
I did a second test (walk) with and without route and my maps was empty (pictures below).

Yes, I saw it already in my S9PP review,

When I update the firmware on my SV, the circle is uglier…you can see the pixels are moving at the edge of circle.

Vertical vs Fenix 7x

@dombo
I was also frequently asking for a backup function, and yes, I still think it would be very useful.
but while I’m setting up my Vertical now, I notice that it is also a chance to clean up and make more space. I am convinced I manage with 5 instead of 7 fields, improve readability even more and can focus more in less datafields.
for this time, I take it as a chance

[SuperFlo75]

I got my Vertical today, and started to set it up after dinner. A god job for a rainy evening… and I think I like it

[nseslija]

At last… looks great…

@Miš-Kan Great photos. Can you turn the screen on for the Vertical as a comparison? I keep hearing the screen resolution is so much better than 9 Baro or Suunto 9 PP, but I haven’t seen any real world photos yet to compare.

Also can anyone do a series of photos comparing to S9P§ on wrist, height etc please

I like that new analog watchface, it’s a subtle improvement on the current 9PP one with the solid arms. Looking forward to the firmware update on that soon too.

Loved all these photos, thanks for sharing.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Brad_Olwin if you compare the readability of the displays, is there a difference between the S9P and the vertical, an at least compared with the S9B?

[Brad_Olwin]

@Stefan-Kersting the photos I provided are S9PP and yes Vertical is brighter and resolution appears better too. A world of difference from S9baro.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Brad_Olwin great, I am looking forward to get the Vertical
