Suunto Vertical: Bug Collection
-
Yesterday after almost a week without a charge I put Vertical on charger, and after few hours I found it shut down. I had to hold upper button for 12s to wake it up.
-
@trailcafe oh it’s in the app, not the watch, sorry my mistake.
-
@isazi Both actually.
-
@Ilya-Sul I will report it, thanks
-
@isazi Thanks!
-
@Ilya-Sul it seems to be an issue with the S+ app itself, if so the fix will not even require a firmware update.
-
@isazi Also in spanish. That banner appear in the post activity summary screen, Suuntoplus Climb data.
-
Another small UI issue I noticed. When navigating a route, my next waypoint called “Begin” was announced (I was riding in the other direction than how the route was created). On the screen annoucing this next waypoint, bottom part of the letter “g” was cut off. The text looked like “Beain”. Nothing major but I wanted to share it so that Suunto can fix this.

Feedback after first mountaineering tour:
- S+ app “safe” not working (black screen)
- touchscreen stopped working not during activity (after soft reset everything was fine)
- solar widget shows strange data for saturday (after more than 11 hous activity with sun burn despite three time sun protection with 50 SPF)
-
@Mitch9 Yesterday I was out the whole day, got a sunburn on my face and forearms. But my graph showed just one “dot”, like there was almost no sun outside. So far I see no benefit from the solar panel, just a gimmick.
-
@Mitch9 at what charging level has the watch been on Saturday approximately?
-
@tomasbartko the display may be a gimmick, the solar charging itself is not. Battery run time is increased by up to 30% with the watch facing the sun. This has been verified by many testers as well.

Before activity: ca. 85 % (5:00 am)
After activity: ca. 60 % (4:00 pm) -
I thought about the reasons why some have issues with their watch (map problems, restarts and so on), and others don‘t have these issues? Could it be a Problem of storage usage? How many maps and apps do you have installed? I have installed 5 maps, and i like my watch…
-
@Egika this is well possible and I am not arguing about that, just my experience so far.
-
@SuperFlo75 I have installed nearly whole Europe and also no issues.

I do agree. We are here to list the issues we are facing and not to challenge Suunto as a company. So many issues however is annoying and make me thinking that the software at the time of the release is still immature and that’s a pity in light of the cost of this watch.
-
@Mitch9 ok. Thank you. This is way too much battery consumption indeed.
Independently of the solar charging, the problem is something else.
There are open bug reports at Suunto right now regarding this issue.Cheers
-
@jakubdr That sounds good!
-
@Mitch9 The solar widget doesn’t seem to work indeed. The graph on the watch face does.
I also noticed touchscreen can stop reacting in the middle of the activity. Next time try to select “Map only”. In my case it started working again.@Mitch9 said in Suunto Vertical: Bug Collection:

After activity: ca. 60 % (4:00 pm)For reference, my watch uses 4% in 3 hours of windsurfing (a.k.a. solar heaven) with all options enabled except the display. Extending it to 11 hours you would end up with 14%-15% drain.
