It’s still my favorite and I have not decided to go for a SV2 (will wait for a further generation)

The UTMB in Chamonix comes in August perhaps we can see more new products from suunto there

@Brad_Olwin Hi, does your solar harvest work as before? Mine just keep on minimum even when exposed to direct sunlight at noon for some minutes… I don’t want any big features updates also for Vertical 1 but I would appreciate that exclusive features from V1 were not deprecated just because V2 doesn’t have it, and right now this is my feelings regarding solar harvest. That stop working as before after the last update (launch at the same time as V2).
Cheers.

@plopes73 nothing happened to solar, still works on Vertical 1 as before, there is not CONSPIRACY to disable features on your watch

@plopes73 I have read somewhere, I do not remember where, that there is a bug in the widget that do not shows the real solar harvesting, but it works correctly. This bug has not been adressed yet, could be this?

@cosme.costa
there is a refresh bug in the history widget, but the real time view shows the current state correctly
Mine goes from idle to maximum… depending on the sun ofc
in these days, almost always at maximum

@cosme.costa Could be, I’ve not notice differences in battery, but then again, solar harvesting do not charges battery, only helps a bit. However my widget only show idle and minimum (a very small colored dot in the middle of the scale). Also the 15min bars are always on minimum, on these clear days they were at least half way after some runs. Hope that is true, only a bug in widget Cheers

@isazi On mine, the wiget doesn’t work as before and as far as I read, in the last firmware update solar harvesting was not in scope, but in my watch it’s not the same, at least what’s visible on the widget. I have never had an issue with any update, not even some reported issues with battery and all that That’s why I found this strange ;). Cheers

@sartoric On my watch not even the live widget (on the watch face) shows more than minimum, just idle and minimum, even on direct sunlight. Maybe I need to do a hard reset (the one with 60 seconds on the charger), soft resets didn’t work. Thank you for sharing that info. Cheers.

@plopes73 unfortunately you would not be the first to have some hardware issues with the solar harvesting module. If your watch is still under warranty, contact support to have it checked and possibly repaired.

@plopes73 do you using screen protector?

@plopes73 this happened to my watch, I sent it in. They checked the solar module, agreed it wasn’t working, and they replaced the watch. Unfortunately the original was made in Finland and the replacement watch made in China. Oh well, it works now.

So maybe this turns from unfortunately into fortunately
