@Antoine-Lancrenon I believe once the V1 is sold out then that is it for production.

I can’t take it anymore with the HR sensor bug that randomly shuts off. It messes up all my sleep stats, which are crucial for me!!! I have sleep disorders and with Suunto I can’t monitor properly. I have to sleep with 2 watches…

Egika

I do have information, that Vertical 1 will be continued.

My Vertical 2 touchscreen goes wild in the shower. This morning it activated an alarm from my stored alarms. Did some reading here and found another victim and some older posts about disabling the touchscreen. So is there now any possibility to disable only touchscreen input and not the buttons when not doing a workout? It would be nice to have a toggle that you could switch like “Do not disturb” mode has. I did read the manual (I never read manuals, things should just work… ) and only found a way to disable touchscreen and buttons during workouts. Actually I think I could use the watch with only the buttons all the time.

I’m new to watches with touchscreens as my old one was Garmin Fenix 5x plus and my last Suunto was Ambit 2. Did not anticipate this kind of little things when getting a touchscreen watch

In other ways I really like this watch. Still getting used to the different metrics it has compared to my old watch. The battery life is impressive for a watch with an amoled screen!

@OpaJaa power saving mode in the control panel

@Brad_Olwin Thanks, did not think of that! But would still be nice to be able to only switch off the touchscreen. But this will do for now.

You can define one of the button shortcuts as “button lock”. I always do this in the shower.
It comes into effect immediately. DND needs some time until the watch goes to sleep

@Egika The only issue is that the touch screen still activates the backlight when it is manually locked but does prevent accidental swipes into menus etc.

@Egika tried that and it works quite nicely. Thanks!

Is there a way turn on/off the flash light during activity without pausing the activity? IMHO, having to pause the activity every time I turn on/off the light is very inconvenient.

Audaxjoe

@Highlands I have just checked this and it doesn’t seem to pause the activity.

On any screen except map hold bottom button for 3 seconds and the option come up. Scroll down and turn flash light on/off. Activity continues without pause.

Highlands

@Audaxjoe Thank you very much.

When can we expect a new FW version? My point is that on the original FW version 2.42.42, my watch works correctly - as far as the behavior of the middle button is concerned - but the GPS seems inaccurate compared to the newer version and I expect a correction of my problem with the middle button after waking up with a hand movement. Thanks.

I’d highly recommend an actual medical grade device (or at the very least an Oura ring) if you have legit sleep issues. A vertical is not that
