Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion

[Jugger]

@danyel Here’s few pictures from green straps. Sage is a bit more turquoise. Hard to get right color balance from phone camera. Hope this helps.

@thanasis different users, different needs.
You can make a guess how many percent of Suunto users have never configured a single custom sport mode.

[v.sacre]

@Egika I guess majority of this forum users are sufficiently geek to customize sport mode. And indeed we (the forum) do not represent the majority of Suunto users.

A new bug :
On my Home Trainer activity, my maximum heart rate was 166 bpm, but in the daily heart rate tracking it shows 129 bpm.

@Egika @OutdoorMan, I was also thinking that the race 2 strap is too stiff. However, after two weeks, I changed my mind. It somehow became more comfortable after the first few days of constant wearing.

[isazi]

@Tomas5 I could not wear it at first, it was so stiff I could not easily lock the pin with one hand. After a while it’s fine. Also V2 strap gets softer after some use

[Brad_Olwin]

@Frederick-Rochette The daily excludes exercise AFAIK. This is to get a better idea of your avg HR when not exercising so I do not think this is a bug.

[OutdoorMan]

@Brad_Olwin are you sure? My max HR during an activity was today 156, the daily graph shows 143 during the same timeframe. There is no way I would have such a high HR outside of an activity. Especially if the time is matching as well, I think @Frederick-Rochette is right.

[OutdoorMan]

@isazi @Tomas5 well, I don’t like it design wise as well, to be honest. If silicone, then the ones with SUUNTO written on them were extremely comfortable. Just my opinion of course.

[v.sacre]

Daily HR does include exercice IMO.
But I think it is a 10min average.
That’s maybe what it reduces max HR

Do You have numbers? I’m curious about that. My guess is 40% because I think, that Suunto buy more sporty people which customize the watch. Garmin could be opposite IMHO, there I’ll guess 60%.

[danyel]

@Jugger Thanks! Just placed an order for Sage Green

[Frederick Rochette]

@Brad_Olwin Why not include the activity in the daily heart rate? I find that strange. It could be identified with a specific colour or icon representing the type of activity.

[Frederick Rochette]

@v.sacre That could be a good explanation.

[Frederick Rochette]

A swimming activity with 50m intervals/recovery. Heart rate monitoring seems really consistent.
Swimming stroke detection (front crawl or breaststroke) also works

[SirMcKey]

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

i´d like to ask a question: In the manuals there is a difference between the race 2 and the vertical 2, concerning the battery-management during activities: the vertical 2 has a custom battery-management, the race 2 hasn´t it. Did anybody tried that? Could I activate the touchscreen on the mapscreen in the vertical 2? that would be very nice!

thanks a lot for your time and have a splendid weekend!

[Brad_Olwin]

@SirMcKey The Vertical 2 does not have Custom battery mode, that is a wrong copy-paste from the Vertical 1 manual.

[SirMcKey]

@Brad_Olwin Thanks a lot for the quick response!

[Kurt68]

The reserve algorithm should also be revised. It doesn’t look particularly realistic ‍️

[OutdoorMan]

@Kurt68 it will change a bit after a while and become more realistic.
