@Ultrawalker you get a free Sonic headphones if you buy the Titanium solar on the offical site. Maybe this will convince you.
-
@Ultrawalker I live in the Netherlands and the amount of sunlight isn’t really that much. You need direct sunlight to really benefit from it so hikes in summer can be ok, but if you go into the woods the solar panel is almost useless.
The only time I really benefit from it is during windsurfing on a sunny day.
-
@Ultrawalker I believe both have 32gb of internal storage so they should be able to handle the same level of maps/tracking. I would say either would fit your needs quite well, I went with Solar as titanium is more bio compatible with me (some nickel and stainless alloys bother me a bit).
-
@Ultrawalker As a user of Titanum + Solar, i think better option for new Vertical would be non-solar titanum instead of stainless + solar. But its just my opinion and I have my solar since like 4 months, so also in my country i havent used solar so much. Sunny days just started here, but remember its only my opinion.

Hello everyone…
I wonder that, is tracking my sleep possible, without tracking HR all day…
I mean, I dont want HR sensors operate all day… they just can be active, while I am sleeping.
I activated sleep tracking, but deactivated all day hr tracking. I just think vertical gonna activate the hr sensor when started to track my sleep. But no… following morning it says “no sleep tracking”.
So am I have to activate it every single night before go to sleep?
-
@Sezer-Yiğit how do you think it knows when you are sleepig? HR is main source of sleep detection
-
@Matija-S what @Sezer-Yiğit wonders, is that if daily HR tracking and sleep HR are independant.
@Sezer-Yiğit they are not. So for now you’ve undersdoot : you must activate HR tracking before going to sleep.
But my question is : why do you want daily HR off ? if for battery consumption, just understand that it has a very low impact on battery life, so I where you I would let HR tracking on.
-
@Tieutieu thank you for the answer.
I wanted to turn off daily hearth tracking for two reason… without sleep tracking, daily tracking is just give me an information with “sources” widget and it has no much meaning for me.
So, thats why I dont want to use battery for this. I did not know that the daily hearth rate tracking has a minor efect on the battery. Because there is a warning in the User guide that said using hr tracker results as more battery consumption.
-
@Sezer-Yiğit I have HR turned off, also sleep tracking turned off, and don’t really notice much difference on battery usage to when I had these recording.
I just don’t like wearing my watch in bed
️ -
@Sezer-Yiğit It does uses a little extra battery, but battery life of SV is so crazy that you should not really see the difference.
As I said, pay more attention to backlight settings
(for me : backlight low, turn to raise low, standby off, main backlight off. With those settings and HR tracking H24 with HRV tracking, no SPO2, I’m around 4 to 5% of battery used a day, with no exercice)Suunto’s devices at home :
Vertical titanium solar
Suunto Race S
S9pp titanium sand
Suunto Wing
S9B titanium Ambassador edition, A3P, X6 -
@Sezer-Yiğit Why are you worried about the battery consumption? I have all the tracking turned on and go at two to three weeks between charging with 13-18h of GPS tracking per week.

With those settings and HR tracking H24 with HRV tracking, no SPO2, I’m around 4 to 5% of battery used a day, with no exercice)@Tieutieu I recently changed my settings and went from charging every 10-12 days (about 8-10% daily battery discharge) with backlight medium, raise to wake high, standby off, main backlight off with 24/7 tracking of HR/SPO2
to now 23 days (4.3% daily battery discharge) by adjusting the backlight to low.
backlight settings can significantly reduce or increase battery consumption compared to any of the other settings. (thanks again @Brad_Olwin for helping me with that)

In fact I am not worried. Just if I dont need, why am I have to use it? At the end, it has a negative effect whole battery life, I thought… and I just wonder is it possible to do it just as I said… but you are right to ask this, when it is about vertical’s battery life

Do you have any idea about completely dark screen (without in sports mode) in daily use, about battery consumption?
-
@Sezer-Yiğit I would estimate it closely to what Suunto specifications are at 30 days with 24/7 HR tracking. Based on how I have mine set up and getting 23 days, completely dark (raise to wake off) should be able to get another 7 days’ worth of battery and HR on. I haven’t been utilizing the solar portion since I have been testing the backlight discharging.
The time only at 60 days seems true, but I would just wear a dedicated watch at that point if that is what I was interested in.

Hello !
I currently own the first version of the Apple Watch.
I run on average 10-12hrs a week. My coach and I use Final Surge as a platform for obtaining my workouts and results.
I have two questions. The first is, given my usage pattern… Basic watch for most of the time and 10-12hrs of outdoor running. As a ballpark figure, how many days do you think I can go without needing to charge ? With my Apple Watch Ultra, I can go a day and a half… often less as I stream podcasts and music via LTE. I wouldn’t obviously be doing this with the Suunto.
Final question is, is there a way to at least upload my runs to FinalSurge ? My coach doesn’t use the workout builder functionality… just just types in the workout as text… I then program that into my watch. But, I do want to at least be able to upload my run to FinalSurge.
Thanks !

@shampoo Hi, so from my experience, I am charging probably once every two weeks with almost everyday GPS usage (1-2 hours) and two activities longer than 5 hours. I have everything on, using maps etc.
You can load your activities into Final Surge via Strava connection (that’s how I do it) -
@Zdeněk-Hruška Thanks !

I do very similar, about 15 hours on average. With all notifications on, HR tracking sleep etc I normally charge once a week. The battery is never near empty.

@Audaxjoe Thanks
What I like about the Apple Watch Ultra is that I don’t have to bring a phone. If my wife needs to call me, I am available… Back around Christmas, I got injured with IT Band syndrome 10km’s away from home and I was able to call a cab and pay for it with my watch… So I have to decide if this convenience is worth it when compared to the battery life. It"s not so much that I have to charge it often, it’s that I have to always plan ahead if I have enough better for the run… If I stream music during say a 1h45 minute run, I can go through 70% battery… So I basically have to be sure I have that much… I would just like to not have to think about it so much.
Are you all bringing your phones with you ? Cash ? Or you’ll just figure it out when/if you get injured on a run ?
