@maszop so can a shortcut be added to the right side of the watch’s home screen? (we can add widgets to the left side)

@Alastair-Padgett said in Newbie ,happy to get any kind of help, advice or guidance : I hope you’re enjoying your new watch. Not sure what you mean with this statement: So with the intro in mind let me ask a few questions ,seemingly everyone is having issues with compatibility with MAC OSX ,and the two current software patches to allow updates and laptop based training work ? Can you explain how did you came to the conclusion that everyone has issues with MacOS compability? You should pair the watch with the either app on iOS or Android. I am also not aware of any laptop based training. I would also advise to read through the manual as a first step: https://ns.suunto.com/Manuals/Suunto_Vertical/Userguides//Suunto_Vertical_UserGuide_EN.pdf

@ElectronBadger My impression after a week: the strap is superb. I really like how breathable it is compared with the silicon strap. For washing the strap, I prefer detaching it from the watch. It takes a moment and is a bit more cumbersome than cleaning the silicon one. For heavy adventure/winter trekking I would take the silicon one, for everything else, especially running, the textile strap wins hands down. Both are great for different purposes.

@Egika hey, I didn’t try. The sensor is correctly calibrated to the wheel size. If it was a calibration issue, the speed would be consistently wrong, not inconsistently wrong, eg if I was going 25km/h, and the size was set too big, it would show 30km/h, instead of 25 25 25 7 5 3 7 12 25 25 25. Edit: it makes me think of the power meter issue reported on the main firmware update thread, with dropouts: if the Bluetooth connection to the sensor dropped, and the watch wasn’t receiving the correct revolution data form it, the speed would be incorrect.

@TyreseJ4 No SuuntiLink for newer watches.

hello I have been doing battery tests for a while. I did these tests again for the last fw. (2.43.12). I couldn’t prepare a detailed report because I couldn’t find the time. but I can say this in summary; The watch consumes 3% more in normal use (basic features like notifications, heart, etc. are on). In exercise mode, it consumes 5% more depending on which suunto plus application is used. When charging with the sun, if the charge is more than 90%, it charges from 95% to 100% in 1 hour with the sun. However, when the charge was below 90%, the charge increased by only 1% despite being under the sun for 3 hours. (These tests were done with a special mechanism, with high efficiency in the afternoon heat, by vibrating the watch every 2 minutes so that it wouldn’t go to sleep) If I find time, I will take the notes of the test with lots of visuals and videos, write the text and share it. For me suunto is still number one … (Translated to English by AI.)

@JARIKE I have a follow-up question to this topic. Is there a workaround if the user turns off the watch overnight? I shut off my watch daily and what I see is the cumulative total for the month.

This is happening automatically. Seems like climb guidance did not fully follow.

Need your help, isn’t responding, not charging phone ,like disable plug in ,plug off, this phone isn’t reply on overheat. Truly need help please, your effort also

@isazi ALMOST CONFIRM. My all data from the Suunto account is downloaded to the Intervals except BIKE trening. Why? I have used my Vertical to track my training. What could have gone wrong? I created a custom workout based on Road Cycling.

@Stefano-M64 and actually every current smartphone has this option I think.

@larrybbaker no

@Egika Understand everything. Thanks for help!!

@Artus-Diver Thanks for all the effort you are putting into this! Really hope that the issues are addressed as a result. My 1.5hr swim today got logged with a moving time of 2386 hours, 44 minutes and 25 seconds…

My Vertical used to charge something like 1.5h. 97 -> 99% takes some time than last percent 99-100% takes like 20 minutes… I dont mind if it would charge 2h considering its lasts 20-30 days, depends on daily usage. Ofc. with using best GPS its much, much lower.

@far-blue Boom! It was under Training setting, thank you for pointing me in the right direction! That was under 10 minutes from my initial question, great community! Out for a run now able to control my podcasts from my wrist.

@thanasis only if the activity has not been stopped in the meantime. The TO wants to go back the next day. But this has been discussed like years ago already.

I applied the last update. The watch restarted and the same issue occured. This time, I tried to change to power saving mode.I let it there for ~10 minutes, no battery drop at all. I enabled normal mode again and the consumption seems to be back to normal again. At least there seems to be a workaround.
