Anyone know what this line is under the crystal?
-
@Lechamoix that’s what I had read too, but it was explained in this thread: https://forum.suunto.com/post/116774 (see previous messages in this thread by @isazi and @Egika )
-
@freeheeler ok thank you
-
@tuxella
there was another thread about it, too… I didn’t recall it was you
anyway, there was a 3rd source, too, saying it was a depth sensor -
@freeheeler I’m curious about this third source if you remember or can find it
-
@tuxella why? since it is misleading information, I suggest not to look too hard for this one.
Otherwise it will continue to live on… -
@Egika just out of curiosity. Sorry if this came out as strange
-
Good to have such an active community to get our questions answered in no time and extend the discussion!

@tuxella
I don’t repost it here to reduce the chance for spreading false information again.
don’t take it personal
-
Thank You. Just received Refurbished Solar Vertical and noticed this line. I thought thats a part of solar system but wasnt sure. Except that watch looks great like new.
-
Greetings,
So to confirm? This line is not a defect in the photovoltaic panel?
I unboxed a new Suunto X Mammut Vertical and noticed the line.
-
@L-C you don’t need to worry, we all have it. Connexion to solar panel.
-
@L-C yes it is supposed to be there. All of us solar owners have it/see it and is part of the sandwich of photovoltaic.
Congratulations on your Suunto X; haven’t seen one in person yet!

@General_Witt just checked my Vertical and it hasn’t got the bar. If I could work out how to upload a photo…

I have also checked tilting etc and can’t see anything. -
@Audaxjoe are you sure you have a Solar watch? That is the solar panel connection and all Vertical Solar have it.

@Audaxjoe by chance is yours the solar version? It seems the small line at the 9:00 position on the outside ring of the green (or grey depending on the tilt) solar bezel that surrounds the screen connects to the photovoltaic ring. I have seen it on all Vertical Solar versions I have come across.
-
@isazi @Todd-Danielczyk I believe that @Audaxjoe adressed a different issue raised by @General_Witt here: https://forum.suunto.com/post/127392
Not the solar panel connection. -
@L-C I purchased SVMammut editon 2 week ago and there is no this vertical line on my watch…
-
I took a picture under a macroscope: Slight tilt of 20 deg to show the two connection points. This is a thin connector right at the 9 o’clock position on my Solar.
-
@Todd-Danielczyk And I also have that line - the solar connector. Not a solar watch = no connector / no line!
