@maszop No custom battery 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).

maszop

@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.

maszop

@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.

Egika

@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.

maszop

@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?

There is a bug because the app says it cannot synchronise because the watch is busy, when this is not the case…

maszop

@Frederick-Rochette Maybe force close the Suunto App?

Frederick Rochette

@maszop That’s what I do… I have to reset the watch every time I want to synchronize it… not very convenient…

After over 5 years with S9B it’s time to change a watch!!

thank you. Known.
As a workaround it also helps to enable and disable flight mode in the connection settings.

Okay. Do I have to do that on the iPhone?
Also, is it normal that the middle button doesn’t seem to fit perfectly like on the SV1?

Egika

@Frederick-Rochette in the watch…

What do you mean with the button?
Mine looks like this:
