      I received my SV2 yesterday and I must say it’s magnificent, especially the screen.
      First night with it and the sleep analysis seems OK.
      As for the optical heart rate monitor, it seems much more reliable and accurate (not to say perfect :-)) for everyday use, as I haven’t had the opportunity to test it while running yet…
      Otherwise, the buttons seem less well adjusted than on the SV1, especially the middle one, which is less firm and moves a little, but maybe that will settle down over time. This gives the impression of a watch that is not as well made as the SV1, which feels really sturdy in comparison.
      I also regret that it is not possible to duplicate the sports modes from the SV1 to the SV2, as well as all the settings.

        @Frederick-Rochette Indeed sports mode should be stored in suunto app and transferred from one device to the other.

        Other point I noticed also is that the vibration of the alarm is a bit less strong than on SV1. But still enough to wake me up.

          Not sure if this will easily work. Different models (and different firmware versions) have different data available to be used in sport modes. Yes, this could be done with additional checks, warnings or empty fields, etc.
          Just wanted to say that it is not a no-brainer. And evaluating how many times how many users are affected by this, maybe this feature is not so high on the priority list, as other things…

            @Frederick-Rochette That’s how Coros does it. When you get a new watch you can either set it up as a new one, or restore previous settings stored from previous watches. It’s all saved automatically in the app, you don’t have to do anything, just press a button to restore.

              @OutdoorMan garmin also did it this way both allow to easily migrate or restore a watch and it is really convenient even if it is not a feature that you use often

                Does the Vertical 2 have Custom battery mode?
                The Race series didn’t have it, only the Vertical, and the Vertical 2 is kind of like a Race on steroids, so I don’t know what it’s like.

                  It may be interesting as well when doing hard reset in order to restore all user parameters and sports mode !

                      @v.sacre It’s a shame. It’s about the touchscreen settings.
                      Without Custom battery mode (or more specifically, touchscreen), you won’t be able to access some features.

                      So, despite the name, the Vertical 2 is a bit of a remake of the Race. Just like the Race S.

                        As long as FW is the same than SR, SR2 and SRs, I wasn’t excepting any change about custom battery modes on SV2, for now.
                        Maybe new hardware and future FW will someday introduce that (and if so I would likely bet that It will not be possible to access such custom modes on SR and SRs).

                          I am amazed that in my country (CZ), the Suunto Vertical Ti with solar is sold for more money than the new titanium V2. 😄

                              @Tieutieu If so, the watch interface also needs to be fixed/changed. You could call this another bug.
                              Without the touch option during an activity, it’s impossible to change some things on the screen, such as the displayed remaining elevation gain/loss.

                                A bug per definition is something that is not working as designed.
                                In this case it is working as designed - it just changed (as will every other AMOLED device before). You can like or dislike the change (I understand, you dislike it), but you cannot call it a bug.

                                  @maszop not a bug to me ; all amoled models so far, since they’ve been launched, have no custom battery modes unlike MIps models. It’s a choice (understable when you thing about AOD extra battery consumption and considering that SR and SRs were the first real amoled watches - i put S7 aside).

                                    @Tieutieu If something in the interface stopped working due to a change in screen technology, it’s clearly a bug.
                                    I don’t know why this forum is so allergic to the word “bug” – maybe that’s why there are constant problems with Suunto software?
                                    This is often visible among software testers, when it should be quite the opposite.

                                      it was a deliberate change.
                                      Also in Vertical 2 there are not the little white dots around the bezel anymore that were there in Vertical 1. The missing dots are also not a hardware bug.

                                        @Egika Are you serious? These are completely different things. I’m talking about the lack of access to a specific function. Someone once designed a watch interface that required touch, which needs to be fixed because now there is no access to it.

                                          @maszop yes, I am serious.
                                          This function has gone.
                                          The same as the dots have gone.

                                          Someone decided to remove it.
                                          This was a deliberate decision.
                                          As I wrote: you can be unhappy with this change.
                                          But you cannot call it a bug.

                                          This is my only point. Thanks for listening.

                                            @Egika So how do I check how many meters remain to descend?
                                            Since Suunto decided to remove Custom battery mode should I consider this another basic watch feature (checking remaining ascent/descent) removed?
