Suunto Vertical: Bug Collection

@helgonet12 Or you are just so fit that you hardly use resources to do that work!!!

@helgonet12 What do your Resources drop too? I have gone back through the last week (on the App) and I got as low as 14% some days (after high intensity training - I’m also probably not as fit as you…), then I only recover to 60% or so overnight.

It your Resources aren’t dropping so much then maybe you are not getting good 24/7 HR readings from the watch? I get pretty good 24/7 results, and wear a strap for ‘real’ training (i.e anything other than casual walking or biking), which may explain my realistic Resource levels. I can’t say they are accurate to +/- 5% or anything, but overall the Resource level aligns with how I feel, in broad terms.

@Swaddy61 it drops between 25 to 50 the last week. Mostly 25 which is also strange

Swaddy61

@helgonet12 Hmmm… I don’t know what else to suggest!

@Swaddy61 thanks for trying. Let’s wait and see what the next update will bring.

@Swaddy61 the HR readings are quite good compared to others. So it can’t be it. I have also tried different resting HR but with same results.
The HRV results are also good. Does any one else have this problem or are your recourses work?

I got lost with the previous discussion on this, but maybe changing your RHR would help?

@wakarimasen thanks for the answer but I have tried this but with same result.

I noticed that after circuit training with backlight always on, the backligth stays on and to shut it off I have to either soft reset or today I hactivated the flashlight and it worked.

I don’t know if it is a bug and it has been reported before. But when pressing and holding the lower button you use the short cut and it goes to control panel. Which is correct. But it doesn’t show battery, alarm (if you have one active) and day , date and month. You need to press up to see this info. I use this short cut a lot since you cannot have date on the watch face. ( I know you can press the screen and change) but use the shortcut goes faster thang change it on the watch face because you need to first press the button to “wake” up the watch and the change it on the watch face and I often need to press multiple times before it reacts. Not always but often. And since the watch faces probably will not change ( according to a forum admin/ field tester in another tread) it would be nice if this gets fixed.

I think I found another possible bug yesterday.
During my run with custom mode I realized that the option to turn off wrist hr during activity does not work.
I tried twice.

I recently added an unsecured wifi network to my vertical (so now there are two networks set up, one secure (my home network), and the other the new unsecure one). I hooked it up to the charger, thinking it would download maps. However the watch would beep, then display a message about the map download being paused, and then to connect to a charger and wlan network). It would then start downloading, beep, and then the whole process would start over. It was similar behavior to the charger connection not being secure). So I tried cleaning the connections, with no change. I tried restarting, no change. I then removed the unsecure network, and everything was normal. But I can’t download maps, when I thought I’d be able to. The network seems solid, since I’ve been using it with my phone and tablet.

@DrSilverthorn there may be characters in SSID that prevent adding a viable connection. I cannot remember what some of them were.

Todd Danielczyk

@DrSilverthorn the work around for unsecured WIFi is to use your phone as a Hotspot and connect your phone to the unsecured WiFi.

I did exactly this in a hotel recently and got map updates.

DrSilverthorn

@Brad_Olwin No usual characters in the SSID.

@Todd-Danielczyk Thanks, will give this a try at next charge.

Hello everyone,
I must be cursed! I received my second vertical yesterday at the end of the day. As soon as I started it, I got a message “the device recovered from an error”. It’s off to a good start! The first I got an error code 2.25.63…

This does not give me confidence for the future.

I still performed a soft reset then the latest update. The watch does not seem to be malfunctioning at the moment (apart the OHR values -> between 95 and 120 at rest, the counting of steps and the TSS, TCL data delayed with the application.

And it continues !!!
I don’t understand how a brand like Suunto can leave a watch on the market with so many bugs! As much as the construction of the product is impeccable, the software contains multiple bugs and malfunctions! In 2 days, I suffered 2 crashes while running. The step counter tells me more than 10,000 steps in a day where I spend 6 hours sitting at the office. Example of this afternoon where the watch counts 3467 while I vacuum. (with a cardio at 125 please) At this value, I am at 5:00 per km in running.
This software is really a big piece of shit! My wife’s Forerunner 255 does much better!
The chat does not respond. No support! Before it’s too late I think my Suunto adventure ends here! I will take advantage of the 14 days to return this watch and get a refund.
