Suunto Vertical Solar Recommendations
-
I recently purchased a Suunto Vertical Solar after having had positive experiences with my choice of Suunto in the past. I have only had the watch about a week at this point, however there are a few complaints/recommendations I would make in relation to future updates/upgrades to the Vertical.
1 - First, what happened to choice of the red backlight? I work outdoor at nights and the red backlight to spare your night vision was a definite plus on my last model which I am really missing on the Vertical.
2 - What is the deal with the lack of ability to scale up the fonts for the typeface? I thought this was a both standard and required feature for accessibility, especially in the European market? Even a simple magnification button would go a long way to solving this issue.
3 - Lack of watch faces. There is not much to choose from in the way of watch faces which is a little disappointing. I like to customize the watch to my needs, and I find I can only do that to a certain degree with the current options. This would be something I would highly recommend adding in the future.
4 - I haven’t had the chance to use the GPS yet, but I am hoping that nothing had changed in relation to the ability to choose different map datums and position data formats.

@Medic1559 a little bit of research before the purchase could have saved you from a lot of surprises.

My guess is that you’re coming from a Suunto Traverse. As far as I know this was/is the only watch with a red backlight.The vertical doesn’t have one.

You can’t increase the font on the watch face. In activity recording you can create a custom sportmode and define less fields. This will result in bigger fonts
-
There is no store for watch faces. The ones in the watch are the only one
-
Coordinate format options are still the same
