@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.

@JonasLarsson here you are, SV2 in Titanium Sage version:

@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).

@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.

@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.

@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:

Known as said, but if you “just” push one button (the one you want ), and back to home screen on the watch, it is no more busy for the app, and it will sync
