What do you expect from the next update?
-
@surfboomerang sure but a counterpoint is vibration for what? System wide all functions? Not exactly very clear what is the end outcome if you still need to go change the alarm setting, for instance.
-
After my run today on a new trail with very often looking on the map screen, I think it would be nice to see HR and pace also on the map screen. What do you think? An alternative option could be a automatic slide from screen to screen…

@SuperFlo75 great but prefer Voice Feedback

From the next update I expect half the crashes. Now it’s 2 times a week so I hope for at least one. Dear me what is this!?

Listen, it’s your own experience, it’s not representing other vertical watches - like vertical in the Amazon warehouse, they never had crash yet.

Btw, I contacted once Suunto support due to self reboot, and they ask me to perform a reboot.

I’m mostly happy with the Vertical, I would like to see:
HRV data and their replacement algorithms in place of FirstBeats for Resources (training load, recovery), Sleep
Nice to have:
Suggested workouts
Routable trails on map data
Support for multi-sensor pairing when of the same type.
Bigger Fonts / Text when following a structured workout describing the next targets/goals/stage of the workout.
Better notification handling (no more zombie, unable to clear notifications) -
One feature I would really like to see would be the ability to restore the watch as you had it last set. When it hard resets, it requires you to set up each structured workout over again which is tedious. It would be very useful to “push your last settings” to the watch instead of manually entering everything over again. I use 3 panel global views for each of the workouts with the top, center and bottom the same for each. Having to go into 7 different workouts and set this up every time is not fun.
I have had to do this about 6 times now that the watch crashed.
-
@Todd-Danielczyk oh boy how many times it was requested… Especially when “do a hard reset” is often times recommended as a last resort prior to sending back the watch to servicing.

I second that!
-
@Frederick-Rochette better cycling support. ClimbPro is one thing, but it is really irritating that you cannot pair with watch two dedicated sensors for speed and cadency. BTW it was possible in ambit2 watches. In current models including vertical you can either connect speed or cadency unless you are not use two in one sensor. Other thing is that it will be good to have few slots for each of this sensor types so I can pair sensor for few bikes, without a need to pairing each time I am choosing different bike.

Now the “what do I think the update will contain” became a “what would I like to get”
-
I would expect a better separation of VO2Max for non-running. It’s amazing how a week of hiking in the Canadian Rockies tanked Suunto’s VO2Max.
-
Not sure if I have seen correctly on internet. There seems to be a smaller version of the vertical with a different name. Probably on test mode now. Perhaps all the new updates will be launched together with this new watch which I believe will replace the 9 peak series ?
-
@seanvk I just got my Vertical recently and did a couple of runs. The first one was done using the default Running Basic profile which recorded my VO2Max, while the second using a custom Running profile as I want to tweak the data screens, but that time it didn’t record a value. I read in another thread that VO2Max is only supported with the default profiles—I wonder if you could try creating a custom profile to do those hikes so it doesn’t affect the Fitness Level?
-
@Jonathan-Chu Thanks. Yes, I will probably have to create a custom outdoor activity and name it Hiking to avoid this issue.
-
@seanvk why it behaves like this is beyond me. VO2Max separation and integration with specific sports NOT profiles has to be on the wishlist of updates.

I only use custom modes for trail running and running. Vo2 calculation works
To avoid vo2 calculation for hiking, so far you only have two options :- disable HR/OHR when using a walk/hike mode
- using another sport mode where there is no vo2 calculation and change the type of sport after recording, in SA

@Jonathan-C because, as we’ve recently learned, Suunto has no resources to focus on such subtleties when it’s busy racing its competitors

Racing! Must be with 16’40/km
