@sky-runner Yeah, I agree. I told Suunto support 3 times about my Vertical 2 restarting randomly and sent them logs, but they only sent generic answers. I like the watch, but I can’t trust it, if I have to worry about it restarting during workout.

@shakra2005 Ja, das geht - jeder Bluetooth Herzfrequenz Sensor funktioniert, also auch z.b. die von Polar und Coros. Deren Oberarmsensoren sind sehr beliebt. Zu Zonesense gibt es eine lange Diskussion. Für mich funktioniert es nicht für andere schon. Deine anaerobe Schwelle kannst Du auch durch Tests abschätzen und dann die Herzfrequenz Zonen danach einstellen

This is a working feature on the Run, though it wasn’t a feature at launch but has since been implemented. Works perfect.

@isazi Yeah, let’s hope they implement it as soon as possible.

@Migsey The DM5 still exists, it shouldn’t be a big deal to bring a new version with Nautic / cloud support. Then we could see the same dives in both applications. Suunto app for eyecandy and overview, DM5 for details

@withManish I get to about 4 days easily. With AOD and notifications enabled. And about an hour of GPS tracking per day…

@Ze-Stuart Thanks - that’s getting somewhere for my particular question which is which reference port is used. But my watch still just says ‘Scotland’ - tide data is published for a place called Mallaig just up the road but most tidal planning here is based on times plus or minus tides at Ullapool or Oban. So Mallaig isn’t regarded as a reference port in practice although the information is useful locally. So is the data here for Mallaig, Oban Ullapool or somewhere else? To make this truly useful the watch needs to show the actual port used - required info can then be extrapolated from that based on various constants. I’d just like Suunto to sort this and make this nice addition properly useful.

Wow, Dark Mode looks great! Now I can check my Runs in the Night without getting blind

@squirrel Thank you for your advice - but didnt work! BUT: I solved the problem by spending more the 30 hours in try and error - in the end I loaded the watch with the loading cable plugged in by the laptop. Whether it still looped, after pushing randomly all the buttons while doing other daily things, the watch started with like 6% of battery. After having 40% (40% are required for complete reset) I reset the watch. The reset went good but the endless scroll glitch (upper button) was still there. I was disappointed. Multiple times I changed the personal settings - endless scroll. After like 5 minutes endless scroll stopped! I put in all settings and connections - watch started working. Stable since yesterday 11 p.m. Suunto Support wanted me to by a new watch with 30% discount on enlisted price! I wouldnt have bought a new suunto since support was not really helpful nor customer oriented. If Suunto is reading this: PLZ fix this issue, this bug is hell. I will edit in a week or when the watch is going to “issue” again.

I‘ve been using ZoneSense since release, I will add another data point: Training: it‘s super useful in staying aerobic without worrying about whether my HR zones are set correctly, and it adapts to my form on the day. So 80% of my training runs use a ZS Zone 1 target, with an alarm on my watch if I stray into Z2 for too long. I do not use it for any speed work in training. Racing short: without a clear ZS target zone (e.g. „you can hold ZS 2.8 for 45 mins“), I don’t see much use to ZS for half-marathon and shorter races. Or any race event under 90 mins. So I stick to pace (track and road races) or power (trail) targets. Racing long: this is more interesting. For example in a marathon or trail race > 120 mins (not a hard threshold, this is subjective), I know I cannot spend any significant amount of time ine the red zone or I‘ll blow up later on. ZS becomes super useful again, especially paired with a pace or power target. I would follow my target pace/power but use ZS red zone as an alarm telling me to slow down and manage my effort better. Since ZS was added as a target, I no longer use the Suuntoplus app.

@hhouter Yes, this was my personal experience. I usually wear watches on left hand and with my scuba configuration, POD is on the right side. First dive in a pool with left/right configuration resulted in multiple disconnects. After changing to right/right configuration, I did not notice any distinct disconnects (either in pool or outdoors). Worked great for like 10-15 dives, until POD suddenly did not wake up at all (probably not related to weak POD/watch connection, still trying to get it working again). ps. since left is usually reserved for physical pressure gauge, we don’t have any other option, but to put POD to the right side and depending on how low you put your tank, POD needs to penetrate neck or even spine area in cross pattern configuration. pps. max distance for POD/Watch is 1,5m (by manual documents for connecting without obstacles), POD distance is like ~50cm to neck area, so it’s 1/3 of max theoretical distance, so the only option is to eliminate as much resistance for signal as possible.

@Steven-Hambleton Well, I guess a sync back to the watch after a trim could be implemented to keep the values in sync. But at the moment everything is better than having a run in your stats with a 30min car drive afterwards or whatever.

@athinakap30 With every new software update, the battery gets worse; no matter what setting you use, the juice doesn’t last as long as they are claiming. The last battery issue was addressed in firmware version “2.48.16”, and later firmware versions have been pathetic for battery performance, and Suunto engineers have ignored it royally (busy developing more bugs ) I have been suffering from this issue for a very long time; resets, factory resets, and firmware rollbacks have not worked. Every time I do that, I spend more time reconfiguring whatch.

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?

I don’t know about the Vertical 2, but the charger on my Race s is quite tricky to get aligned right. You always have to turn the charger a bit to get it right and the watch starts charging. When the watch is on you at least get instant feedback, but when it’s of, it’s more of a problem. You could try to rotate the charging puck a bit and see if it starts charging.
