Conclusions about the Suunto Vertical

@BrunoH said in Conclusions about the Suunto Vertical:
@smopi I recently took an easy evening walk of 3.87 km around my neighborhood. My SV counted 4496 steps, which is supposedly close to the truth considering my average step is approximately 80 cm. That proves my SV counts both legs.
It is interesting. My last not so easy for me walk activity: distance 10.15 km, time 1h 31m, steps 6689, cadence: 68/min. It looks like only one leg is counted. Data taken from Suunto app (Android).

You are not wrong, suunto’s cadence ×2 is your steps per minute.
While running the Stride length is the distance between the same foot.
If you want compare more, you can load your activity to 3rd party app, they have more information on the cadence and stride

I agree with you. I had a Fenix 5splus, battery was a disaster and display too small to use maps.
Really - this was your choice - you have gone from a 42mm case to a 49mm case - of course the display size will increase plus there is more space for the battery. Bit harsh complaining about a choice you made.
So of course unfair comparing F5sP verse a vertical. Note that if you had gone with a similar size Garmin i.e. the new Enduro or Fenix 7x - both are 51mm case, both like the vertical have a 1.4inch 280x280 MIP display. All have around 30 day normal operating battery life, bit difficult with tracking battery life as listed quite differently but going with just best accuracy in all cases vertical is up to 60hrs - Enduro 2 is up to 68hrs, F7x is up to 36hrs.

- sleep recording OK but not time to wake up, watch let me sleep till I got up but I’m awake an hour or more before that
New sleep algorithms being tested, for me (spoiler alert) fall asleep and wake up time are matching Oura now.

@isazi
are any other algorythms besides sleeping planned for SV? -
@isazi when will we get this new algorithm in the Vertical?
-
@Jamie-BG you are right it was a bit unfair regarding the fenix 5splus. It was a not so good decision to buy this. I thought it would give 11 hrs GPS a day, but in reality it was nearly seven.
-
@Jamie-BG in the Coros app (iOS) you also have the option to choose the notifications displayed on the watch

PLEASE!

Wohoo, better sleep algorithm. Poor sleep recording was exactly the major issue we - the bug plagued customers - were waiting for to get fixed. Congrats, Suunto! That helps so much in getting the SV to work properly shaking head smiley. As if the majority would wear this watch in the night. And really, what would anybody expect from this data? For me, I usually know when I have slept well or not. No need for a device to tell me. And any true sleep issues will never be detected by the SV.

@Simon I wear a Suunto 9 Baro 24/7
No big deal. -
@Simon I’ve had mine for 2 months and very disappointed in it. It had so much potential and like you I have had several Suunto watches but I don’t think the software can cope with the functions. It is faulty. Mine now has shut down and just keeps vibrating every 5 seconds.

@linda-Parsons Have your tried a soft reset or a hard reset? This sounds quite odd.
