Today was the 4th training session I used SV. I’ve tried to compare it to S9PP. I expected that it will be as accurate in terms of measure distance and ascent but what surprised me a lot was OHR.

SV with OHR, PP with Smart HeartRate Strap
You say not bad? I say it’s perfect.

Question about personnalized sport profiles (I mostly use my profiles).
What is great is that selected apps remains selected (or unselected). I’d thought it would have been the same for maps, but it is not. When unselected, it comes back to selected on the next exercice.
(Of course I’m talking when using same sport mode)
Is it the normal behavior ?

@Tieutieu Same with GPS mode, it always defaults back to ‚custom‘ instead of ‚Performance‘.

First impressions in disorder on this SV Solar that I wear since yesterday evening and with which I did my first trail training this morning (hills and threshold) with HR belt.

This watch is very nice 🤩
Very comfortable to wear all day
The most striking fact is that yesterday at 16 the watch was 100% charged and today at 11:15 it is 92%… the battery consumption seems faster than on my S9P… normal? (And I spent some time in the sun yesterday…)
The readability is excellent especially compared to my S9P… I can now have 7 fields and see them well
The GPS track is exceptional
The power measurement is not very good and seems to not be taken into account very well on hills / descents. Especially when I used to use stryd.
The HR measurement is good and gives a much better analysis of the night’s sleep. The average and minimum HR data is much more accurate.
I confirm that there is lag when scrolling through the widgets
Miss HRV measurement
At the end of my activity I did not get a VO2 measurement and nothing appears in SA, normal?
When you pause an activity, the information of the trip scrolls in carousel mode, great! It’s also possible to access the menu and modify certain things
The menus are much better than on the S9P
I encountered a bug when setting up the running specific cardio zones
In summary, I’m very happy with this watch and the few bugs will probably be fixed in the next update. The only thing that worries me is the fast battery consumption… I didn’t expect this…

@Frederick-Rochette VO2max appears only after a few sessions

@v-sacre I couldn’t remember, thanks

I got my vo2max after my first run.

I went on a E-MTB ride today with my Vertical Solar. I had the watch on my arm (not mounted on the bike), weather was partly sunny (mostly cloudy), a lot of tree cover (shadows). I followed a 70km route and had the map displayed most of the time.The watch was in performance mode (multi band) and connected to Verity Sense.

Before the workout I had 68%. 3h 45min later:

64%, so about 4% to 5% lost in 3.75 hours. As you can see on the image, the watch didn’t see enough sun to take full advantage of solar charging. This is impressive!

@wmichi Same experience here. 3hr windsurf session here in relative sunny conditions. 4% battery used with all options enabled except the display.

My first run with the Vertical
Suunto nailed it! The GPS presisjon es from another world
When backcountry skiing I did som lapsing today and was going up in the same tracks and you have to zoom pretty hard to see that there are three tracks in the zickzack pattern. At its best the there GPS tracks are within 0,5 meters. Amazing! Even when running down you can see a curved line, on the S9B this was just a straight line down the slope.

12h of exercices since initial full charging on thuesday, mostly with Maps activated (used a lot) and gps on performance mode, touchscreen activated during exercice.
Backlight to low, turn to raise on minimum.
No notifications, but sleep and hr tracking h24 activated.
Still 72% battery.
Sync with app used a lot, watch menus and widget used a lot.
Impossible to say how much solar helped, but i guess it has a Little.
The Vertical is a quite impressive tool !!

Vertical vs 7? What is your opinion?

@Kamil-Kamil There is a separate thread on this topic. Please check the forum.

Hi ! Does someone experimented some kind of « auto-lock » during an exercice ?
Two times this morning the watch locked on while running, without using buttons to do it. And I’m 100% sur I didn’t pushed accidentally the buttons.
Couldn’t tell how long I had not touch the screen when it happened.
Not a big deal, almost a « good thing »

sartoric

@Tieutieu
what do you mean for “lock” ?
does screen turn off or are just the buttons locked?

Buttons get locked. Just as if I was doing a long press on the bottom one and then middle one to lock

lexterm77

I can’t believe tracks on this thing?!

@Tieutieu
when you very quickly double tap the data screen you can lock the screen with a third tap on exactly the dedicated field in the “pop-up” lock screen

Oh ! Didn’t know that and very possible that it is what happened so ! Thanks !

Love the watch, got the maps sorted (which was user error rather than anything on Suunto’s side)

The only negative I can find is the charger, the magnets just seem to be very weak and with any slight knock or movement the watch just falls off it. Completely the opposite compared to the S9B where you almost have to physically pull the watch off!
