    @Andrea-Paissan I don’t know. But I think it’s bad because they are using their own algorithms and there is simply a lot more work needed to make it usable for most users. Wasn’t the 9PP the first watch where Suunto started to use their own algorithms for the OHR sensor?

    Either way, I would never rely on the findings of other users about the OHR of a watch. Especially for intervals. There are too many parameters of the watch user (skin tone, hair,…) at play. Even if it’s bad for Fit Gear Hunter, it might work well for others.

    As long as it’s accurate out of workouts and especially during the night, I am good with it. For everything else: H10 or Verity Sense.

        I don’t really get why he says that the SR is “much better” than the SV, pointing news features that will arrive (most of them) also on SV.
        Except the amoled and rotative crown, there is not much differences.

            @Tieutieu Based on DC table about features contained for both models, Vertical won’t have:

            • running estimate and HR run threshold
            • sleep stages and naps

            But I really don’t know on what assumption DC made this table…

              Except a “marketing” decision, I also don’t know what hardware limitation would avoid to have this on the SV.

              One thing I noticed is that the possibility to have - not yet obviously - heatmaps on SR. On that point I would understand that screen resolution of the SV could limit it.

                I think Ray really likes his AMOLED screens, so the Race wins on that alone. I’m still a fan of the MIP because I find light-emitting watch screens distracting when I’m not using them for sport.

                    We get the end of “When will be the november update?!” and that’s priceless.
                    Of course, it will soon be replaced by “when is the next update” but for a few hours, we’ll have peace.

                        @Patrick-Löffler-0 sounds like the zoom out limit will get increased from 500m to 2km.

                          I remember Polar (or was it Coros) once put Ray’s verdict about one of their newest watches on their homepage… Perhaps Suunto should do this too? “… This watch is awesome…!” 😅

                                    @v-sacre I don’t really get why sleep stages won’t be on SV. I cannot imagine it’s a HW limitation.

                                      But you’re right, that’s probably just marketing to differentiate the products. On the other hand, I could be wrong. Who knows.
