      @jjorgemoura same here. the solution I found was to cut and stripped the wires so as to connect to vertical and attach them via electrical tape …

      but I started decommission the watch lately since I am quite annoyed by the (quite many) nuances I am facing

        • Stays at 99%: the same for me, but restart & charge fix it, for me, at least
        • thinking about some 3D printed holder, high enough for strap to hang untight, something like on the picture but adapted

        @thanasis could you share a photo of you solution please?

          Assuming that your watch is currently paired with the app, if you’re worried that it may not be charging, you can always click the watch icon on the app to see what percentage it’s at, even when on the charger.

          Bonus (at least for Android users), you get a notification when the watch reaches 100% charge! So you don’t even have to come and check on it.

                I use the Vertical with a lot of pleasure since release, and charging works well for me.
                Yes, there is exactly one position wher it works and the magnets in the charger are to weak to hold the watch in the correct position, but all in all: I got used to it, I know how to handle it. And no: it is not the greatest solution / build for a charger.

                using a Suunto Vertical & Suunto Wings; mostly running (AKA stomping around) and cycling through the northern german "wilderness", and wherever else I have the chance to do so

                  Have had my V1 since release day. No issues with charging at all - my method is to gently lower the watch towards the charger and let the charger snap up and into place when it gets close enough. Has always worked for me.

                      @thailon I made one for my race. Haven’t tried it, but could fit for Vertical as well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7108194
