    @riccardo88ve said in solar charging:

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

    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.

                                  Happened to me today and yesterday. In full sun I have 2/3 rings, not 3/3 like i had in even sunny days than today. Direct sun 29’C, 0 clouds. I’ll probably go like riccardo with that I guess :P. Soft reset doesnt help.

                                      I wonder If miss something…
                                      I don’t really use solar charging widget since new UI, because SV battery is so huge that I don’t really care.
                                      But lately I wanted to see how it collected sun again, during a bike ride…
                                      I was surprise to see that widget was totally empty whereas it was very sunny. I then notice that widget says that « solar charging is in sleep mode ».
                                      Never saw that before or read about it.
                                      Any idea ? For now solar charging is not working anymore.

                                        It’s always in IDLE status when there is no sufficient light.

                                        But in your case it could be stuck, did you try a soft reset ?

                                          @sartoric OK thanks for your answer I didn’t know that. I try a soft reset.
                                          When you mean stuck, does that means that widget is stucked ? or solar charging and widget are stucked ?
