Well, the biggest flaws are not fixing bugs for years and removing features that worked well.

@jmolenaar2 said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: During the activity swipe to this screen and there would be a button to turn the flashlight on or off. Even some gesture to brightness could be there. Tap to turn on and off. Swipe up or down for brightness. Cannot rely on touch. That is no go for an outdoor watch. That would be useless in a rain or even when wearing a long sleeve shirt when the sleeve covers the watch. When I wear a long sleeve shirt I pretty much cannot leave my watch on the map screen because my shirt sleeve starts panning the map all the time. The best solution I can think of is double tap on the lap button. Implementation of the double tap can be a bit tricky because the first tap would have to be ignored and not trigger a lap, but it could be done. Another possible solution is combination of two buttons where the second button is pressed before the first button is released. Garmin does actually have that for some of the button shortcuts and that works reasonably well, but buttons should be on the opposing sides of the case for that to be usable.

@Nikolai-Simonov said in Live location S+ app: Hey all! I want to share some news regarding development. You might have noticed that the S+ app was recently updated. We’ve introduced bi-directional communication, which unlocks two major features: geoposition-based laps and sending messages directly to the watch. Here are the details: Geo Laps: You can now place a checkpoint and set a “LAP” action for it. When you reach that endpoint, a lap will automatically trigger on your watch. Messages: Your watch can now receive messages! There are currently two use cases: From a Checkpoint: You can send a message via a checkpoint—just check if the watch icon is active, and the message will be sent to your wrist. Message from Live view: People watching your activity live can send messages right from the browser. For now, this is a hidden feature. they need to manually add ?messenger=true to the end of the URL. so it would lok like beta.athletica.one/live/@username?messenger=true All these features should work on the current Live.τ app, but for the best experience, I recommend joining the TestFlight tester group. Here’s a video example of how messages work: https://drive.proton.me/urls/PWRAQW3VE0#jI2tOqIIdfr8 I’ve also prepared an app update. It’s currently in review, but I hope it will be publicly available next week. One of the major improvements is better session restoration logic. In situations where the watch or phone disconnects, the next version will check for any unfinished activities. You’ll be asked if you want to continue the session or start a new one. If the disconnect happens in the background, we will automatically resume the session for you. More info coming in the next post when it hits the stores! P.S. We are also working on live streaming capabilities! This will allow you to stream your location to YouTube, Instagram, or Twitch whatever via RTMP. Let me know in the comments if this sounds interesting to you. Very good job !

@SamuelP said in Suunto HR Chest Strap stopped work.: Same here. Haven’t had any single problem since I bought my ambit 3 peak + belt and sensor in 2014. Since the Q3 update I have had constant problems with my V1 and Suunto belt. I even bought a brand new belt + sensor because I thought the sensor was the problem but still getting random connection problems during activity. 65€ poorer and still having issues Thank You so much for info! Iam getting sure, its not my Suunto Chest Strap problem but software. “At least” Watch HRV itself getting better.

@maszop, thanks for the response. Would be nice to have the option to enable touch screen capability for media control.

@OutdoorMan Thanks!

@Argonaut330 said in Suunto wristband: @Brad_Olwin thanks…Will have to look for second hand now ;] I was looking for some time but with no effect. You need to ask ambassadors

@jjpaz yeah, I expected that it’s needs to be connected/synced also with the phone in order to display data, so imho works as designed. But I might be wrong.

@peegee I concur…it seems to think I fell asleep at the moment I laid in bed, and woke maybe 30mins to an hour after I did. On Saturday it had me waking at 9:14. I’d been RUNNING for 15mins by that time…something the watch knew! This morning my wake time is a minute before I started running…a little better, except I’m pretty sure I wasn’t asleep for the previous 50mins of breakfast etc and a 15-20minute drive!

First dive with Suunto Nautic Vs Scubapro luna 2.0 AI Suunto Nautic Bühlmann ZHL 16C GF Gradient factor 40/85 Dive time - 48 minutes Max depth - 23.1 Water Temp - 13min 15max CNS 10% OTU 29% Luna 2.0AI Bühlmann ZHL 16C GF Gradient factor 40/85 Dive time 48minutes Max depth - 23.28m Water Temp - 14min 14.4Max CNS 13% OTU 43% it was nice to compare this 2 dive computers, the Luna gave me 2 more minutes of NDL using the same Gradient factor. The suunto should review their way to manually change gas with less steps, and built a dedicated diving app for the Nautic and Nautical S. The Nautic Maps are in their beta, and need a big upgrade to compete with Garmin Tides are not available (nautic or app) PDI not working (Nautic) Turn by Turn Navigate to POI not working (Nautic) or if just using the compass is very limited My biggest critic at the moment in the Suunto Nautic, is not having dedicated app for diving and not able to share with SSI app The Nautic wins in : Screen visibility built/robust Ascend settings Less app dependent Compass Gases configuration and options small torch Diving planner Weather app Tide (soon ?? ) The Luna Wins in: Dedicated diving app gas change, press & confirm Alternative algorithm ZHL 16D+MB [image: 1768763024172-img_9634.jpg] [image: 1768763031902-img_9635.jpg] [image: 1768763040158-img_9636.jpg]

@herlas but always different between watch an app. And I can do what I want I never get to red vo2max.

Tested two more days, after sof-resseting watch. Behavior is still there. Update: when watch shows Autolap info (and screens turns on), after 8 seconds screen is turned off ok, althoug it was on previously for several minutes. So it seems that, in every autolap, screen power off is forced and then the loop starts again. Between laps you can go with screen on (doesn’t go off) until Autolaps appears in screen.

@raisedbywolves sorry this is not true as I have carried this as per @spree today 18 Jan 2026. Regards John

@Александр-Галюк точно такая же проблема появилась и у меня. Хотя две недели назад карты скачались без проблем.

@Lederbergrunner Danke für die Info, mich stört es das es leer ist und die Meldung ist ich müsste einen Outdoor lauf mindestens haben. Ansonsten neu neugierde.

@Kaiphi said in Alpine skiing downhill: Today it worked for me without any problems. No reset before or anything else Same for me yesterday. It seems the issue has been solved with the latest update.

@S.Pichi said in Wing 2 not connecting to Samsung 23 Ultra: i have the same problem , cannot pair my wing2 with samsung23 ultra. Im now trying to connect my aqua to s24 ultra. Connects then disconects and and it does this all the time. My vert 2 is fine and has a green dot to say its ok in the app Headphones always have a orange dot in the app. I hit he icon and it takes me to pair section. it then connects and then the dot goes green . Then back to orange the back to psir and it has disconnected. This is a vicious loop. I think it needs to go back. Its like 1 hour old.

said in Serious problems with navigation with GPX routes: @maszop Several months have passed, and of course, nothing has changed. The problems remain. It’s still impossible to change the route during ascent or descent. And there are still serious problems with breadcrumb display. [image: Photo-2025-08-11-11-17-01-AM.png] The problem persists. Another software update, and such a serious bug has been ignored.
