Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion

SirMcKey

@tomahawk5000 Yes, in the good old times it worked that way. Is it another copy/paste mistake in the description of the new Vertical 2?

@SirMcKey Suunto removed Custom Battery Mode (and therefore the option to enable touch), leaving the interface that requires touch.
But I was assured here that this isn’t a bug.
Typical Suunto logic

@SirMcKey
The new climb guidance screen is already showing you this remaining descent data, but only currently if you have at least one waypoint in your route.
Without waypoint, yes, there is a hole for now.

It will probably be aligned as well for any other routes without waypoints in the future.

SirMcKey

@Mff73 Thanks a lot! That´s what I´am looking for.

@v.sacre thanks to posting foto of your watch! Sage looking more blue than green, but maybe it’s the lighting conditions that matters.
By the way, I prefer watch faces with analog visors. Do you have any pictures of analog watch faces?
Many thanks!

First run with V2 and I got this error, never happened with Race. I was switching the saved route in that position. Also my zones are messed up, forgot to set them again.

@Kurt68 Thanks a lot

@Kurt68 Is that the titanium version with the green strap? I ordered mine yesterday

Display looks fantastic. As a fan of the MIPs display it will be interesting to see what it is like in use, particularly on a bike

Have you had much chance to use the V2 yet?

Audaxjoe

@Jan-Suchánek I had that just once in 2 years with the V1. Hopefully just a blip where satellite has been lost.

I remember having one similar with Garmin years ago when it put me in the USA! I’m in the UK…

@Jan-Suchánek Garmin Fenix 8 is slightly brighter, tested right now …

Kurt68

@Audaxjoe Yes, it’s the Titan version. I’ve been running for 4 hours now and am satisfied so far. The GPS looks very good. The display is very easy to read. However, I can’t comment on how it performs for cyclists because I’m not a cyclist

Antoine Lancrenon

I am also somehow little bit disappointed by the vertical 2.
too very similar with the race 2.

What the V2 should have been for me:

mip display
bigger screen
same new led flash light
same new charger
same new chipset for future proof new features
same new heartrate sensor
the best part: better solar charging with bestial autonomy creating new leed in the market from far, like the V1 in his time. creating a really autonomous watch for hiker (7 days in the mountains etc. ultra runner for extra long distances etc. I know V1 is more than enough, but somwhow, even more is even better no?
same new charger with magnetic (v1 is a pain this is true)

what else?

Thanks for the info! I had feeling, that the flashlight is a lot weaker than on F7Pro which I used to have. But it’s useable. For running at night isn’t any watch flashlight suitable IMHO.
But what seems strange to me, that there is only small difference between 4 intensity modes. That was much better on F7Pro. But it could be changed in future FW.

How is your minimal heart rate compared to before? After three nights with V1 and V2 i see that V2 is always 2-3 beats higher.

Tieutieu

@JonasLarsson considering they are not medical devices both, and that ohr sensor are different…and that 2/3 bpm in not significative (I understand you worn both watches to compare ?), I would not give any conclusion

JonasLarsson

@Tieutieu I think 3 bpm is significant but I can be wrong. Curious if other have the same problem.

Manuel Extreme

I always buy the new top outdoor watch from Suunto as soon as it’s released because I’m a long-time fan of the brand. I do it to see whether they’ve finally fixed the old software issues and to check if I can finally recommend my athletes to use Suunto instead of Garmin.
But unfortunately, I keep finding the same problems:
1. It’s impossible to change data fields on the watch screens directly, without stopping the activity.
2. The activity data screens are limited.
3. HRV data, sleep data, and resting HR are not exported to TrainingPeaks.
4. “Feeling” and workout RPE data are not exported to TrainingPeaks either.
5. It has now also become impossible to add a customized energy consumption strategy.

You can live with points 1 and 2 — it’s been like that since the Ambit 3 Peak and I don’t think Suunto will ever invest in decent software — but points 3 and 4 are essential for a professional product suitable for coaching.
I simply cannot recommend a sports watch that doesn’t natively export these key data to TrainingPeaks.

Compared to Polar as well, it’s clear that Suunto has once again missed the train of high-quality sports watches.

Tieutieu

@JonasLarsson maybe try to switch watches during next nights (I guess you wear them one at each wrist ?) ?
