Return colour to 'Vertical' WatchFace

Kaiphi

At first I thought the answer was quite simple, but then I tested it myself on my vertical. No matter what color I choose, it will not be displayed. It remains white

@gerstlauer they are applied only in the graph not the other text , that’s true

… . I think @Brad_Olwin is telling you the same

gerstlauer

@thanasis If it’s still applied to the solar panel, then fair enough, but I don’t have a solar panel, and that’s not how the watch face was, hence why I’m just asking if it could be returned to that. Take a look at Suunto’s Vertical promo images, it’s that same as when I first received my Race S.

@gerstlauer I agree with you that it’s lost from the other elements . This is indeed something I also miss but happened like 3 versions back .

But the graph (you can set other graphs not just solar as I am showing to you I have the altitude one ) can have a a color

far-blue

Some of the complications are available in both white and coloured versions. Possibly you can swap out the complications for their coloured versions?

Brad_Olwin

@gerstlauer some have changed and lost color. Others now have color and rings that fill with color. I guess choose the complications you want. Your OP stated color was lost and that is not completely true, some complications have indeed lost color. I do not know the reasons behind the change.

I saw this picture of the vertical watchface on suuntos webpage.
How come the altitude graph is so wide? Is it only on the race model, i dont have it on my vertical watch. Looks really nice

Jugger

@SamuelP I can’t find that watchface in SA. Updates are coming? It’s still installed on my Vertical but was it integrated with firmware?

SuperFlo75

@Jugger I think this is the original SV watchface and it’s integrated in the watch?

SuperFlo75

@SamuelP I think this watchface should be on every SV? The baro graph is one of the possibilities to choose in the complications…

@SuperFlo75 If I am not wrong, I guess the point of @SamuelP is about the width of the graph.
On the photo he posted we can see the altitude graph starts from the very left border of the screen.
The widget on the Vertical seems truncated on the left part:

SamuelP

@sebchastang yeah, thats what i mean, the graph is wider. Maybe there is a watchface update coming soon

Or maybe amoled is not MIP?

@sebchastang hey… This Watchface was by release the watch. After some Firmware Updates they change the Watchface… Little graphs for Elevation and Barometer. I love the old one so muche, cause much more colors. I dont know what suunto was thinking by “downgrade” this Watchface. WE cannot bring the first original Watchface Back. Or has someone the FIRST Firmware from vertical 2 years ago?

@GiPFELKiND I assume the move to customizable complications involved a standardization of size and shape of complications.

Egika

You are all correct in a way.
This is the so called Verical signature watch face. Built into Suunto Vertical and available to other watches via S+ watch faces.

Back in the time when the complications were changed by tapping on them, they had color. With the change to more customization in complications, the color was changed.
Things change in life - It is a skill, to be able to adapt

The marketing picture for the PWRUP strap does not reflect the reality of the watch face - I guess this is just what is is: as marketing mock up. There is no change to the current version of this watch face on the horizon.

GiPFELKiND

@Egika do you have the FIRST Firmware for us where you could change the compilations by tapping? For freaks like me?

Egika

@GiPFELKiND I strongly recommend not to roll back firmwares. There are countless hidden improvements and fixes, which you would lose.
At the same time compatibility with app may break.

@Egika it’s not just the Vertical “signature” watch face, others are missing colour too - for me it happened with the latest FW update. Please see the attached photos - definitely no orange accent on the seconds hand in the Simplicity analog watch face on Vertical. I have the same issue on Race S but not on Ocean.

borgelkranz

@Freezer Same here. That was my favourite watch face. Now it feels broken.
