Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion

@isazi After every 2 weeks in training plan there is no more sync. But there is a special thread to this I think.

@Sportsfreund yeah but that’s not a watch issue, it seems to be an app issue. The training plans are still in beta

@sebchastang said in Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion:

As advertised on SV2 pictures, elevation is displayed on the contour line.

I don’t see elevation displayed in the map screenshots in DC Rainmaker review.

Also, speaking about the above map screenshot, it is disappointing to see that the map continues to render trails as dark green on green background. That may look good on a computer screen when the image is enlarged, but in reality the contrast between dark green and green is poor and trails are difficult to see, especially when switching to a higher (200m) zoom level. Also, have you noticed how easy it is to confuse trails with that dotted circle that goes around the screen.

Is vertical 2 band fitting vertical 1? This would be my vertical upgrade.

@sorinus all Suunto straps since 9P (or earlier, I don’t remember) are 22mm, so yes!

Being over 50 and having difficulty seeing what is displayed on my Solar SV1, I was eagerly awaiting this SV2 with AMOLED screen, which I ordered immediately yesterday.
However, I must admit that I am disappointed by the design and weight, which are identical to the previous model, the lack of new features, and the battery life, which has not improved compared to the SV1. Not very exciting.
As for the screen, it looks great and meets my needs.
I hope SUUNTO has some nice surprises in store for us in the next update.
As for charging the watch and downloading maps, is it faster than with the SV1?

@Frederick-Rochette Why not the Race2? Its lighter and cheaper…

Frederick Rochette

@VoiGAS I don’t like the crown…

Jan Suchánek

@sky-runner That dotted circle is absolutely odd feature to me. What is the purpose of this? Make mess on screen??

danyel

Nice watch, but I will stick to my V1 Vertical

Does anyone have a photo comparison of the Forest Green vs Sage Green straps?

@tas2581

Thanks!

@Highlands I don’t think this is the end of the MIP. I personally like its “combat” configuration regardless of the solar capacity.

Highlands

@Danny-poleg Hopefully, you are right. But taking into account that there’s only one company that still makes MIP displays, I’m not very optimistic. Personally, I like both MIP and amoled and wish watches are made with both types of technology.

Jan Suchánek

There is no custom battery mode according to reviews, but Suunto says it has it:

OutdoorMan

@Jan-Suchánek Same as R2, and I think R1 as well. What is a pity is that I cannot enable touchscreen during an activity (only map screen works). I never understood why it got disabled.

isazi

@sorinus yes, they are all compatible.

Jan Suchánek

@OutdoorMan No, only Vertical 2. Just checked that now. They have copied that from V1 imho.

OutdoorMan

@Jan-Suchánek with same as R1 and R2 I ment that none of them has customer mode. Agree on copy & paste.
