      @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 ?

                                @sartoric I just did a soft reset. It’s full sun out there. Still “sleep mode displayed”, not indication of solar charging.
                                I’ll wait for next update.

                                  Maybe try give it a soft slap. For me worked and since than it works like before. I covered screen and punched it softly on my leg with soft little power 😂

                                  Brad, what’s that black version of Athletic 5? Never seen. Its Suunto Staff only or something?

                                    Well, no display of solar charging…but no reason that my watch would be damaged, I more likely think of a bug. I’ll wait for the next update.

                                      Hi, yesterday’s update didn’t changed my issue.
                                      I also did a soft reset => no change
                                      stop/start => no change
                                      Unpin solar widget/soft rest/pinn widget => no change
                                      My solar charging still remains in “sleep mode”, no indications of charge, bright sun.
                                      It seems that you won’t be able to avoid support😭
                                      But don’t know when…I have plenty of races and training in the next months…and I’m not motivated to come back to my S9b ; but I guess I may not have choice.
                                      If anyone has a tip that could help me, it would be awesome.
                                      I really don’t now when or why it stopped working, it had no special event that could have damaged it

                                        @Tieutieu Did you try factory restore? I had gps shifts quite bad not being solved by soft. So as a last resort I did factory. Now the track is spot on.

                                          @EzioAuditore not very motivated to do so right now…I’ll try after my big race scheduled by the end of august. Don’t want to loose hrv/vo2/shape and all custom modes for now.
                                          Is a hard reset really so different than an update, except factory settings reset ?
