You have to wait for a hotfix release, coming soon, which should correct the battery drain. Suunto teams are aware of this issue.

Do you guys even take the minimal effort to read at least part of what is included in the post?

@EdCaballer Not sure if you’ve read this thread. What is your firmware version? If you have not updated yet, I would try to discharge it to 0% and then charge again to 100% and check if it’s better. If you have the latest version, then you have to wait for a hot fix, unfortunately.

Sorry for not read the previous posts. And thanks for the answers!!! i will whait for the hot fix! I’m also having issues with the sleep traking, it says I’m awake 2 or 3 houers before I do, it’s also a firmware issue?? Is there any post to see the firmware issues??
Thanks a lot!!

A fix is being tested, if everything works out should be here in a week or two.

Are there still issues to investigate or is there a corrected FW under tests ?
I still need to do a still to do a soft reset every week (map + navigation) ?

@isazi but not all with this problem. I don’t have.

@Antoine as far as I know, the planned timeframe is still September (and today is only the 17th).

@Robin123 I agree with you that the advertising claim ( Daily use: Smartwatch mode
up to 30 days (60 days with solar)) is not true. With a fully charged battery, I have a battery consumption (without activity and without HR or Oxi Monitor) of approx. 10 - 12 % within 2 days. The advertised runtimes will never be achieved.This advertised battery life was a reason for me to switch from the Suunto 9 Peak to the Vertical Solar.

Et ça fait vraiment avancer le schmilblick.

Bien dit Milux

I think I identified a new pattern for the battery drain without actually starting the exercise

1. Navigate to quick start menu of a exercise (eg running)
2. Configure setting
3. Abort (go back)

Did it twice after I had resettled the watch from an exercise and I got like 1% drain per hour on idle

When will the hotfix come?
I wear my Vertical only for exercise.
This week, my watch did nog use for 3 days…watch lay on a table and i saw a battery drain of 30%!

Hope that a hotfix will solve this problem!

I ll ping the team

@thanasis How long have you been observing such battery functioning? For how many days?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@thanasis question back

Do you know if “Configure setting” refers to some specific settings, or any?

Since the large software update earlier this year (which annoying reset lots of my custom settings) I am now also getting dreadful battery drain. Typically 10% per day. Before the update I could go a month between charge (in idle) but now I need to recharge every week. Any ideas please? I read of a hit fix coming soon. Is this happening soon?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos i was just playing around. But both times i definitely did :

• changed the S+
• entered the write HR setting (enabled/disabled)
• went all the way down to the last item
