    @freeheeler It is also my observation that this behavior is inconsistent… but in case when I can see the charging circles above 95%, the charging level increases, and when I cannot see the circles, the charging level does not increase… 🤷
    But it‘s not a big thing!

      Unfortunately at this point, I doubt it could be a bug of the new firmware … in full sun it never reaches all the full circles. I think I’ll contact the assistance

          This morning I tested it again and I had the UNLIMITED POWER gauge consistently showing for many minutes … then I stopped looking at it 😁

          Of course I was under 60%

            @freeheeler So for you it’s not a malfunction of the vertical … but a software bug?

              I wouldn’t even call it a software bug, but I am not a software developer… my wild guess: it’s simply a wrong output.
              but actually it doesn’t matter what it is as we can’t do anything anyway except for sending logs and describing the observations. and that’s what I did, so they know, they prioritise and then look into it

                it’s a feature, not a bug 😁

                Jokes apart, as said it probably simply doesn’t use solar if the watch still has a certain percentage of charge

                      About solar… how it is safe to have long time on sun? I was today on trip, gained a lot of sunny from direct lighting, and my watch was pretty hot. How long its safe to expose watch on direct sun? I know its not recommended, but does was there someone that damaged watch by that?

                        Well, overheating electronics it’s never a good thing.
                        That said there are operating temperature that should be taken in consideration.

                                @thanasis it’s a knock off version of the Apple Ultra ocean.

                                NotoCity for Garmin Fenix 6 Band 22mm Ocean Watch Band for Fenix 7, Fenix 5, Fenix 6 Pro, Fenix 5 Plus, Forerunner 955/945, Approach S60/S62, Epix (Army Green) https://a.co/d/8eKD1je

                                Super comfy and keeps the Vertical tight enough to get good HR readings.

                                  @freeheeler Thank you, then, in my opinion, my vertical has some problems… it is not possible that in full sun only 2 circles are filled. today I contact Suunto support and let’s see what they say. thanks

                                          Hello everyone, in the end I sent the vertical to a service center… the whole display was replaced … actually the panel had problems… now everything works perfectly.
