Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion

@Tieutieu Thanks, I’ve tried that.

@JonasLarsson Hi Jonas, now that you mention it, since I started using the SV2, the nightly records have increased by about 3 beats… I must also say that they have been or possibly altered by an increase in my physical activity and sleeping away from home…still too early in my case to determine.

Hi! Interesting to see if you calm down

Just tried fast walking/slow running to 7th floor. Started with 96bpm, ended with 98bpm.
To be honest, Fenix 7Pro wasn’t good too, but HR starts rising from 4th floor.
Tomorrow I’ll try bike commute to work and will see, if I have to continue using chest strap for this activity.

You can make a guess how many percent of Suunto users have never configured a single custom sport mode.

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%.

Yes - it is more than 80% of users who only use the built in sport modes.

Jan Suchánek

@Egika Maybe I misunderstood it. If it refers only to creating a new activity profile, then I get it. But if it also includes modifying predefined profiles/data fields, that percentage seems really high to me — and it just shows that the vast majority of people use the watch as a fashion accessory :-).

After a few days with this wonderful watch I cannot understand why they decided to change menu after swipe from top to bottom where now are only sports categories
In my opinion previously (I compare V2 to S9B) was much better
Now I have too much options in bottom menu

Egika

@Jan-Suchánek the number is referring to the users who are not customising data fields. Just using the “basic” predefined ones".

Jan Suchánek

@Egika Wow! So for Garmin it must be 95%. Now I understand why nothing ever happens at Garmin with reported bugs. There’s no reason to fix anything when the vast majority barely use the watches, and therefore don’t have any problems…

martintrail

@Egika That’s crazy number. It’s unimaginable what a bubble we’re in here on this forum.

Egika

@martintrail yes we are!

@isazi i had a better OHR with a non-suunto strap, a stiffer strap is required in my opinion.

@JonasLarsson Hey, for me it is the opposite !
Since SV2, my minimal night HR has dropped by several beats.

So how is the flashlight? Does it shine brightly enough? Can anyone write a comparison with, say, the Enduro3? I’ve read mixed reviews about how bright it is, so I’d like to hear the opinion of someone who owns a V2. Thanks!

@martintrail its very bright 🤩 it brings light in the darkness ️ love it

JonasLarsson

@v.sacre Hey, what can I say, it’s weird. Several beats makes a difference.

@Jan-Suchánek or some sport people do not change what is not broken. I mainly use watch for running/hiking sometimes cycling/skiing, haven’t changed any fields for quite some time. For running I mostly need pace, time and distance and HR for trail running/hiking - the same + maps. It is all there, all the other numbers are just unescessary. I like to analyse stuff when it is uloaded to the app afterwards.
Just wanted to say, that people are different and have different needs, that does not mean that folks use watch as a fashion item only

Have You seen Garmin flashlights? I can´t compare it side by side, but with Fenix 7Pro I can´t look into the light and here with V2 I have no problem to look in the light and it also it seems weaker to me. But no problem with using.

martintrail

@Jan-Suchánek That’s exactly what I mean. I had Enduro3 on test for a few months and the flashlight was really good. So I’m interested to know how V2 compares objectively. If it’s enough or if it’s really weak.

Tieutieu

About flashlight, please tell me that it’s only an “emergency use” ! ? Considering probably huge impact on battery life , I would consider the flashlight only as a security if my flashlight would be out of charge (or for a late run when I would had forgotten it).
Reading your thoughts I have the impression that you might consider it a your main flashlight sometimes !?
