I may have found a related issue with my Suunto Vertical + Stryd setup. My setup: Suunto Vertical, firmware 2.50.28 Stryd paired as Foot POD GPS OFF Foot POD auto-calibration OFF I performed a controlled test on the same measured section of approximately 208–210 m. At easy pace, Suunto recorded: 206 m 211 m At faster pace, on exactly the same section: 348 m 289 m 281 m 290 m Stryd was also recording independently in its internal memory. The Stryd Offline Sync data looks normal and does not show the same distance inflation. I sent both the Stryd Offline FIT and the Suunto FIT to Stryd Support. After reviewing the activity, Stryd Support told me that Suunto was receiving Stryd data such as power/cadence, but was not using Stryd as the source for pace/distance. Since GPS was disabled, Stryd Support said that wrist movement was the source of pace/distance in the Suunto activity. I have already tried a soft reset and re-pairing Stryd, with no change. Suunto Support also has the logs, both FIT files and screenshots and is investigating the issue. This seems quite similar to the pairing/data-source behaviour discussed earlier in this thread. Has anyone with a Vertical + Stryd setup tested whether pace/distance really comes from Stryd when GPS is OFF? I would be very interested to know whether this is reproducible on other Vertical watches or specific to my setup.

I’d love a red light option for the flashlight (Race S screen flashlight) and automatic update of my min and max HR based on resting or sleeping heart rate.

@nomison maybe it is a bug or unexpected behavior. No matter what it is I do not expected will be updated. Our Vertical 1 is now out of date with bugs and potential improvements.

I’m experiencing severe battery drain. It’s happening only if I wear the watch. If the watch is static, there is no drain. The HR is turned off at all times.

@Elipsus no worries at all about the language — I saw a few posts in French on other threads so I didn’t immediately realize this particular forum/section is English-only. Sorry about that, happy to continue in English from here. Regarding the full discharge/recharge cycle: I actually already tried this exact process a week ago, based on advice I found in another forum thread. Unfortunately it didn’t change anything for me, the drain rate went right back to the same level afterward. I have been considering sending the watch in for service, but it’s no longer under warranty — which is honestly what frustrates me most about this. The watch is barely two years old, and this issue only appeared after a software update, not from any wear or misuse on my end. Has anyone had luck getting Suunto to acknowledge this as a software-side issue rather than treating it as a standard out-of-warranty repair?

Still working. Battery consumption was high, now usually as always approx. 4% per day. Upper button nearly unusable as it seems that no signal is sent to platina. A lot of power is needed to push button.

@isazi LOL! Damn you Jay!

I don’t want to start a new thread just for this, so I’ll try asking here. This year—that is, since the latest firmware update—I’ve noticed that when I swim outdoors, my watch doesn’t show the distance swum. I’ve tried both my custom sport mode and the preset one. When I save the activity, I can see the distance. But while I’m swimming, it still shows 0 m. Has anyone else had the same experience?

@maszop said: @Kaiphi Link both accounts and they’ll sync automatically. it is what I do and works ok

@Matúš ok. Thanks for the info. Then I do not understand why vertical 1 and 9 peak have not received a fix for it yet. 6 months have passed and the watch is some times useless to use. Makes me really sad and disappointed

@brechtvb Not, it’s not just you. I bit the bullet and bought a combi sensor about 18 months ago. For 25-30 EUR, this was a small price to pay to remedy my frustration In the real world it makes little difference: a full watch battery gets me 232 hours of riding with the pod, or 103 hours of riding with GPS in “OK” mode.

@Wesley-Terrence It was communicated that the Vertical 1 will get updates, just later. I guess we have to wait… https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15021/updates-for-v1/64

@isazi it’s definitely after going into “deep sleep”

@jjorgemoura I watch the first uptick in percentage. if it upticks, it will work for the rest. If battery is with 10%, the first uptick comes withing 30 secs.

@Girts-Gudrits said: what steps I can take to fix it? You could reboot the watch before starting the workout by holding the upper button for ~12 seconds and see if that has an effect on map loading.

@skobelev.np said: @tuxbuster hello! I have the same issue but in health see just workouts sync without any health Has it worked from the box for you? This is works fine for me: "I have a found a Workaround for me: i am Using „Health Sync“ to Sync Sleep and HRV to Apple Health. From Apple Health i am using HealthFit to Sync this HRV and Sleep to TrainingPeaks. " But currently I’m using my Garmin Fenix 8 more. It’s much easier and a no-brainer. I hope Suunto will fix this. If they do, I’ll come back to the V2 as my default watch.

@isazi Thanks a lot for your feedback! I also hope this will be fixed in next firmware update
