@v-sacre i wish for days when OHR will work perfectly 95% of time.
There is a lot of individual variablility for OHR. For me, I can do everything but fast intervals with S9PP and OHR is excellent, matches the belt.
The Vertical for me is not as good but I have seen others where it is perfect. Same with my wife on Apple Watch, it is poor for her. Depends on wrist size, watch size, skin color (tattoos) and bone structure likely. -
@DMytro needs both

@renton82 if you swim without stopping with the watch underwater for a while, yes. If you stop, there are issues currently, that Suunto is trying to fix with a hotfix release in the coming weeks.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos wondering if the audio feedback on SV reused some of the old audio feedback feature present since ages in Sportstracker app, which SA inherented.
Only HR zone change is new there I think. Currently in SA we can even select what metrics we want to hear from a defined set available. This is when tracking only with SA

@NickK Well, no āpre-orderā Suunto Vertical coming. Maybe a sign I should just keep my 9PP for now. Amazon early in the week said yes, will be delivered. Today they say āI am sorry as item is not available so we are unable to take any action you can cancel the order.ā
Advice: order directly from Suunto, or in hand from a retailer! Dont order from Amazon.
Glad for everyone who received one! Enjoy.
Ill go back to the S9PP forums and wait for the updates.

@mikekoski490 Sorry to hear that. Mine is on the truck to be delivered later today (supposedly). Iāll believe it when I have it.
Does REI have presence in Canada? They had stock as of yesterday, available for delivery within a week.

We have an MEC but they arenāt carrying it yet (letās not get started on the downfall of MECā¦)
Can likely cross the border to get to the REI

Hi,
Thanks for the advice! MEC is not so great anymore for sure. REI would take a few hours to get to the closest one in Washington State, but if anything goes wrong with the device itās a PITA to return or exchange.
Iāll stick with the 9PP for now, and see what the update holds.

Yeah I was going to say this earlier but didnāt want to hijack the SV thread with 9PP praise. 9PP is
still a greata fantastic watch. Now that a few days have gone by and my FOMO has fizzled out, Iām happy to stick with it for a lot longer until maybe a smaller size SV comes out in a year+ -
@mikekoski490 Suunto Canada has steel all in stock and titanium/solar within two weeks. Never had to deal with any Suunto returns

Ā«Ā maps are not necessarily needed as Suunto route tracking is really goodĀ Ā»
I said exactly the same couple of months ago, even in surveys and made suggestions how to improve navigation with little effortā¦ now that we have maps I honestly canāt imagine how I could have lived without them all these years
-
@mikekoski490
honestly sorry to hear about your bad luck!!
maybe your desired model is still available at Suunto directly and you can order it? what I know from several shops is that you canāt cancel an order, but you can always send it back, sometimes even free of chargeā¦ -
@freeheeler we had a hike today and now I think exactly the same. Routing was good in the past but has become even better with the maps feature.
-
Core Temp S+ not compatible with SV. Must be a mistake?
-
@lexterm77 Iāll report it and check

Iām going to say something wildly unpopular
I think itās about time for Suunto to reach out to past customers, ask what platform they moved to and what would it take to bring them back, really
Maybe next time things like structured workouts, Training Peaks workout import, training load reports and analysis, and yes, offline maps would take priority over a snorkeling mode and half baked social aspects of the Suunto app?
And yes, Iām keenly aware Suunto has a lot of telemetry data of features used, market research, and what not. And that some things, like Googleās stab in the back and pivot to Samsung and WearOS 3 effectively undercutting S7 couldnāt have been predicted, but stillā¦
I canāt help but wonder how would Vertical look like in the world with different set of priorities? Would we have multiple sensors per type? Emoji in text messages and no ghost notifications? Multiple S+ apps and a guide combined? Custom reminders? Track mode? Estimate of fuel sources used similar to Polarās FuelWise? Perhaps, a morning recovery summary similar to Garminās Training Readiness? A web based front end like COROS Training Hub? Watch ECG-based morning HRV measurement and tracking?

@NickK I used guide + app yesterday without issues

On production firmware? Because as of now, the docs say you can have multiple apps, but not an app + guide, even on Vertical. And Iād really prefer two apps (one ActiveLook glasses and the other whatever, say, Loop) and a guideā¦
-
@NickK yes, it works, but only with guides planned with TP or other third parties for now I believe. At the beginning of the activity the watch will tell you āyou have this planned today etc.ā, say yes, then scroll down and add an app.

I canāt clear my last notification on widget.
