I had a watch face that was “accidentally published,” but it got deleted with a firmware update. :)))

Hi! Any idea if and when Suunto Vertical 2 will have full GPS TimeSync including adjusting Timezones ?

If I were Suunto product manager, this would be a feature very low on my priority list.
There is automatic time sync from the app plus it can be adjusted manually.
You then count the number of instances were both would not be suitable and end up with a too low benefit for the whole user base compared to the cost (of development and of other features of watches being delayed)

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Only 2 developers? Amazing. You can’t stop updating V1’s and keep selling it. Think it’s time to move to another brand, that’s not professional on a leading company…

@Alejandro-Pérez-Beneyto who has said they stopped updating the V1? Have I missed something?

isazi

@SamppaP no one, the official statement from Suunto is that Vertical, Race, and Race S are still supported and will get updates in the future.

@isazi I know, just tired of everyone complaining about V1 not supported It’s really clear from Suunto that 9pp will not receive updates.

Have you received any Q1 or Q2?

There you go

@thailon the only information I can share is that Vertical, Race, and Race S are not included in this Q2 update as Suunto is still assessing the scope and timing of next update. Further communication from Suunto will come when a decision is taken.

As far as I’m concerned, I think Race S is already complete as it is and, to be honest, I really couldn’t think of anything else I could ask for. Bug fixes are, ofc, always welcome

@egika I use suunto Race S

the sensor connection does not work well, agreed here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15082/race-2.53.42-unreliable-connection-to-suunto-bike-sensor/4

Thanks for update. Maps looks amazing, tide app is welcomed too but i will probably get possibility to test it somewhere next year, please share some screenshots how it looks like. Thanks.

I see only this:

Since i live 800km from sea, should be displaying some info like data not available for your location instead of “updating”, is this bug?

Btw i already synced multiple times. No change.

Yes, after your explanation, I tried it now in the unedited sports mode that says “basic”. It appears like this. Is this a feature or a bug? Thanks for the information.

It should also be a feature in the customized modes accordng to Joaquin’s video
