I’ve just switched from a Garmin Forerunner 265 to the Suunto Vertical 2. I really like the Vertical, and the Suunto ecosystem is much more intuitive and informative!

The only thing that annoys me is that the watch never disconnects from Bluetooth, even when I put it in flight mode. I still receive notifications, and it keeps syncing with my phone all the time. How do you completely disconnect it from the phone? I’ve tried restarting the watch. Any suggestions?

apparently there are two “flight modes”.
one you access from the control panel -> does not stop BT
and one you access from setting -> communication -> stops BT

Thanks! It is working now

@Egika Oh ! that explains a lot ! Is it planned for future bugfixes ?

Jan Suchánek

@Elipsus It´s intended design by Suunto as I read somewhere… I can´t understand that.

Egika

@Elipsus don’t know if this will change. At least this is pretty unintuitive.
reported it to Suunto

Elipsus

@Jan-Suchánek that sounds a lot like a bug that was “feature-ed” to avoid making changes (I know what I’m talking about, i’m a product engineer ^^)

after a week of reflexion, and since my solar harvest V1 is not working anymore (hardware issue, only the solar charging is out) and I am adove the 2 years warranty, i was thinking to upgrade.

As a “normal” user of the v1, it makes not really sence to upgrade to the v2. i dont care about the oled, i care about battery much more as a hicker and ultra runner.
I am an outdoor man and do use the torch of my v1 (with. the screen) it is pretty poor in comparison with the dedicated led of the V2, this is thenonly point really where i want to upgrade.
may be the improved accuracy of the HR? but i am happy with wath I got with v1, true with issues.

I think Ill stick with the V1 until the v3 is out… what about you v1 owners, why are you upgrading really here?

*we loose the mip
*we loose a significant battery longevity on different conditions
*no configurable battery management
*no solar

I much prefer the V2 screen for every day use.

The watch faces come to life. And the face in reality looks a lot bigger for my ageing eyes as there is no solar bevel.
Battery life is still excellent.

The upgrade is minimal but for me worth it. But I totally understand skipping a generation of watches. It is the logical thing to do!

One area I don’t like on the V2 is the bike performance when on the handlebars. V1 is better.

Owe yes, the torch is great

If I choose Athletics watchface with Display settings (brightness low, AOD off, raise to wake - full wake mode) and I lock the watch (bottom button) after some time watch cannot be unlocked. Top button reset helps. If I choose raise to wake - Display only there is no issue.

@Egika Is this a bug or an intentionally designed feature?
P.S. Edited. I read other comments, so I got my answer.

Sometimes my Vertical 2 turns off the HR sensor until I take it off and put it back on my wrist. This creates problems reading parameters, especially sleep tracking.
I did a factory reset but it didn’t solve the issue.
The firmware is updated to the latest version.
Has this happened to you too?
