Suunto Vertical first Anniversary : share to celebrate !

Brad_Olwin

@Todd-Danielczyk I have noticed when under tree cover or the sun blocked the backlight does not sufficiently light the display. There are discussions at Suunto to see if something can be done on this. Might help us both.

Todd Danielczyk

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the “subtle intel” regarding that. Yes I have seen the same and it took me a few weeks to get used to having the backlight set to low, but I have gotten used to it for the sake of battery life.

If the Suunto software engineers can do some tweaks we would get the best of both worlds, bright display in those types of conditions as well as the extended battery life. I would not complain one bit about that!

@Brad_Olwin I notied this as well and i am surprised nobody mentioned it before. Could be that my Vettical was defective (reason i return it). The display way just not making enough brigthness when in forest and therefore visibility was bad for me.

@Brad_Olwin I miss true adaptive mode for brightness like in smartphones where in most ocassions it works great. L

@freeheeler i want to be your son also. Any chance for adoption?

This will be a little trolling ij this post but i also do not want to open new topic.

I want to have maps, i also want to have smaller vertical. Should i rebuy 9pp and wait for smaller watch (price for 9pp is 400€) or just buy vertical steel or race for same price and wait for smaller vertical/race?
Or maybe just go full in and try vertical solar again. 🤯 to much overthinking

@Tami999 we do not know when this might come right? Might be end of year or later…

Tami999

@krakra Sadly no, even if its true. I got small wrist, and switched 9PP for Vertical, and after a week I get used to. Now 9PP is too small for me. Bigger screen is a game changer, especially for maps.

@krakra

We don’t know but the track record between fcc documents publication and release is around 1 month. I expect something in June.

@krakra Wait some days… something is coming and S9PP will be deprecated…

@jjpaz I am quite sure S9PP is getting another firmware update (at least)

If the rumors are true, buying a new S9PP will no longer make sense with current price ranges. That’s compatible with new software updates for the sold devices, that’s perfect. And I hope S9PP will be supported longer than previous S9P.

@freeheeler yeah, same here. But now we are happy with three kids

@Likarnik
I would embrace this as a gift, too

@jjpaz my comment was just to say that, while I do not know Suunto’s strategy nor I work there, I have seen the next testing firmware for S9PP, so I assume it will receive this update in the future.
