        About the bugs, the Vertical has not received any kind of bug fixes in the whole year. It is not my intention to compare (at all), but that’s a fact.

          @dreamer_ as I said: As the watch is only 3 years old, it should get updates… 😉
          On the bright side: the Vertical is unaffected from the newly introduced crashes mid-activity… It only has the old ones…

            Sadly, those do not only fix bugs but introduce new ones. And the last one has been 4 months ago with no new beta in sight, yet…

            https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/fenix-7-series/f/announcements/441652/beta-version-27-15--check-for-updates-only

            Btw, It seems I can count 3 mayor betas in 2026 (splitted in 15 minor announced versions only this year). It is not the same release calendar/features as for the supported watches, but the bug fixes are there (even for Garmin). It is also more than nothing.

            I understand Suunto is focused in the new watches but it’s also a lot of time a watch like the Vertical is forgotten with the remaining bugs. And, when bugs, this can be a very bad image of the brand for the users that have the watch.

              Yeah, on paper it sounds good, but essentially each version had some serious issues for some people. Always the question of “Should I really upgrade beyond version …?” in the forums.

              Reminds me on Nokia and its N9, where they pushed a final update eliminating most of the bugs (over 1000 IIRC) before pulling the (support) plug. I also feel that is the right thing to do.

                    There’s a thread on reddit. It seems something was going to be announced today but it also happened the Fenix 9/Pro presentation.

                          I wonder which software the R3/R3S will run - 2.x.x or 3.x.x

                            @Highlands most likely 2.x

                              Yeah there is no way they tack on an extra 40g from the Run 1. Misprint or different watch.
