Suunto Vertical is here
-
Despite I am very happy with my S9PP, I could not resist and just ordered a Vertical Black non Solar on Amazon ITA. Expected May 24.
I Will have at least one month to try it and decide if I want to come back to big watches or I will stick to the smaller one.
In the first case my S9PP will go on sales somewhere and I was thinking : ‘how about a small permanent market place in this forum?’ It could be a good eco-friendly alternative to the suunto buy-back program that lot of us has suggested for cases like mine. -
@trailcafe la stessa cosa per me

So waking up this morning by the strong sun penetrating my curtains and staying 5 mins staring in the horizon I said lets check the bat on this thing after 2 days cause after the night training it was something like 96% It now sits at 100% just after 5mins in the sun. The solar charges, not only helps draining of bat. Suunto what have you done…

Seriously, have you contacted suunto support?

Sometime ago it was decided that the forum does not serve its intended purposes as a marketplace, so it won’t happen
there are already a lot of places to buy and sell watches.

Has anyone yet tried the real time guidance feature yet?
if so:
Do you get lap based commentary through the headphones (when listening to music via iphone)?
What information is presented?
Is the feature seamless; in that does it silence the music temporally when giving guidance then bring music back?
many thanks -
@TonyG yes

Yeah, I’ve seen some quirky battery things in the morning if in the 95-99% range where it’ll literally gain battery in front of me like a progress bar counter in a matter of seconds.
Obviously, you’re not charging the watch upwards that much in just 5 minutes. Been on my to-do list to send along. Only seems to happen first thing in morning, and only seems to happen - or me notice it - at very high battery percentages.

For batteries a 100% charge is relative. At 15C or 25C the 100% has an different absolute value. Over time 100% will be less in absolute mAh too.
My guess is that a battery re-calibrating algorithm kicks in at nearly 100%. Nothing special to Suunto, most rechargeable devices do that.

Do Vertical and S9PP have the same OHR sensor? From the outside it looks identical, but… ?
-
@fluca we decided a long time ago to not allow selling here, to avoid people thinking that this is backed by Suunto itself (as the domain of this forum is suunto.com)
-
@aroo7 either the same or a very small update, but basically the same.

@isazi thanks

Is the open water swimming activity ok with .48 firmware?

I have been out for a run with my Suunto Vertical today and have to say this watch is superb. Easy download off a map for the region and then off for a test. Great GPS tracking and the screen have a great visibility. Feels really great on my wrist and more comfortable compared to earlier Suunto before 9 peak. First thought it would be hard to go from the 9 peak pro titanium but there is something with the design/ comfort that makes it ok .I paired it with a Wahoo Tickr V2 Hr belt and that worked out really good.

Another feedback after a 21km trail running this morning (so my wife could try her new S9pp ! )
First try following a prepared route with the Vertical : tracking with maps is sooooo good and easy ! I was one of those saying that « maps are not necessarily needed as Suunto route tracking is really very good »…but now must admit that it improves so much the experience !! Smoothness of maps is just awesome, gps precision is just incredible, screen so readable (backlight at minimum)…I’m just so happy !
Forgot to put my hr chest strap on…guess it was written that I had to try ohr at least once…so…not much more convinced than before on me (even if seems better than with my S9b). I’ll keep using chest strap for activities and ohr for day and sleep tracking where it performs quite well on me.
With OHR and 90% to time on the maps screen, battery consumption was about 4-5% for 2h10 of activity.
Solar charging : I guess I need to experience more. Yesterday with less sun it brought me from 94 to 99%. This morning it stays at 92 even if one hour of bright sun.
Perhaps watch needs a complete discharging circle ?…but I don’t know when I’ll be able to achieve that while the autonomy drains soooo slowly !!!
Happy user !!! -
@v-sacre i wish for days when OHR will work perfectly 95% of time.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos how does this work? Does it require both watch and app or app only? And, will this be coming to older watches?

There is a lot of individual variablility for OHR. For me, I can do everything but fast intervals with S9PP and OHR is excellent, matches the belt.
The Vertical for me is not as good but I have seen others where it is perfect. Same with my wife on Apple Watch, it is poor for her. Depends on wrist size, watch size, skin color (tattoos) and bone structure likely.
