I haven’t read through this whole thread but I’m not a fan of AMOLED, hence why I’ve not upgraded my original Vertical. IMO there’s absolutely nothing wrong with MIP and hopefully we will always have an alternative to the eye-burner that is AMOLED

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yeah, @sky-runner always provides valuable input. The problem is no time to read all feedback

@Nikolai-Simonov I have intense jungle training this weekend; I’ll be testing both Vertical 2 and the update.

@gkaempfer Same here

@maszop Thanks. And weirdly it has now synced correctly some 20+ hours after finishing the activity. That’s what usually happens an hour or two after I’ve grumbled about it on here. I’m inclined to suspect some sort of Bluetooth issue but whether it’s the phone or the watch I can’t say. It’s annoying.

@cpinky said in Hiking Sport Mode Screen: @maszop I do like the idea of the app since that can be enabled/disabled mid hike as opposed to always taking up a data field That’s a good solution too. I don’t like messing around with settings during an activity. Time is money

@larrybbaker I’m sure someone else said about Scotland being a really long download too I had the phone & watch on charge Race S Samsung S25 Ultra Android Suunto beta app

Everything is there, it’s just they’re now completely impossible to see unless you are in the perfect light conditions, leaning backwards and squinting. But on a serious note, I don’t know what’s happened but it’s currently not a usable watchface which is a bummer as it’s my favourite

I’m probably buying the Spark to use with the Vertical 2 Ti. Since both products are already in the market, with these headsets, I think Suunto has a very good oportunity to go a lot further. The combo of the heatsets when paired with the watch, could be used to improve several things: I.E: Voice notes while in activity Ability of making phone calls without taking the phone of the backpack when you are in a trail run. I.E, click button and say something like: call sister. Improve the pedometer features (no other brand has a product in the market which such a nice feature). I.E: When the GPS signal is lost because you are running indoor or in a treadmill. I think there are many more use cases that would make an instant buy probably for many people.

@Egika Thank you.

@aiv4r no worries. I think the current way is not bad at all. It just need to be consistent. Having a 5km run as PB for 5k - great, Having a 10.xkm run as PB for 10k instead of the 9.95km race I did last time - accepted Having a 20.4km run as PB for the half marathon - what? And nothing I can do to decline that half marathon PB and go back to the one before… support hasn’t been that helpful with that, yet…

The glitch is slightly more extended. I have to repeating alarms. One for mo, tu, we, th on 6:30 and one on fr on 7:00 (thank you Suunto developers for more fine grained alarm settings!!) This morning (tuesday), while I was dismissing morning report, I noticed morning report showed the alarm for 7:00. Have to say, I rather have Suunto working on an option to disable morning report all together than fix this bug. There is no info on morning report that I need to know first thing in the morning and now it is annoying to dismiss this useless screen every day.

The watch and phone are connected via Bluetooth, and I’m receiving notifications, but the app shows no connection. I turned Bluetooth off and on on the phone, but it didn’t fix the problem. What else can I do? [image: 1776097483350-a11.jpg]

Received the Spark today after a weekend order. Paired & updated quickly and have supreme sound. Haven’t tried them in action (on the bike trainer or out for a run) but are quickly becoming my favorites in spite of owning multiple sets of Sonics. [image: 1776298642069-sonic.png]

@Egika this is likely only the “everyone has their time offset” type though, as happened in 2020, right? Suunto has no prior history of issuing bug fixing only updates after FW updates are done. If they do, I will absolutely make an effort to catalogue the myriad little bugs. But I can’t believe that to be true based on previous evidence.

@Tieutieu Not for me. I’m still seeing 20% drain per day.

@Brad_Olwin It will be great for Suunto Coach AI !

@Manuel-Extreme off wrist detection is not contact based, but somehow optical. From here on I have no more ideas, sorry.
