Suunto Vertical is here
-
First impressions in disorder on this SV Solar that I wear since yesterday evening and with which I did my first trail training this morning (hills and threshold) with HR belt.
- This watch is very nice š¤©
- Very comfortable to wear all day
- The most striking fact is that yesterday at 16 the watch was 100% charged and today at 11:15 it is 92%ā¦ the battery consumption seems faster than on my S9Pā¦ normal? (And I spent some time in the sun yesterdayā¦)
- The readability is excellent especially compared to my S9Pā¦ I can now have 7 fields and see them well
- The GPS track is exceptional
- The power measurement is not very good and seems to not be taken into account very well on hills / descents. Especially when I used to use stryd.
- The HR measurement is good and gives a much better analysis of the nightās sleep. The average and minimum HR data is much more accurate.
- I confirm that there is lag when scrolling through the widgets
- Miss HRV measurement
- At the end of my activity I did not get a VO2 measurement and nothing appears in SA, normal?
- When you pause an activity, the information of the trip scrolls in carousel mode, great! Itās also possible to access the menu and modify certain things
- The menus are much better than on the S9P
- I encountered a bug when setting up the running specific cardio zones
- In summary, Iām very happy with this watch and the few bugs will probably be fixed in the next update. The only thing that worries me is the fast battery consumptionā¦ I didnāt expect thisā¦

@Frederick-Rochette VO2max appears only after a few sessions

@v-sacre I couldnāt remember, thanks

I got my vo2max after my first run.

I went on a E-MTB ride today with my Vertical Solar. I had the watch on my arm (not mounted on the bike), weather was partly sunny (mostly cloudy), a lot of tree cover (shadows). I followed a 70km route and had the map displayed most of the time.The watch was in performance mode (multi band) and connected to Verity Sense.
Before the workout I had 68%. 3h 45min later:
64%, so about 4% to 5% lost in 3.75 hours. As you can see on the image, the watch didnāt see enough sun to take full advantage of solar charging. This is impressive!
-
@wmichi Same experience here. 3hr windsurf session here in relative sunny conditions. 4% battery used with all options enabled except the display.

My first run with the Vertical
Suunto nailed it! The GPS presisjon es from another world
When backcountry skiing I did som lapsing today and was going up in the same tracks and you have to zoom pretty hard to see that there are three tracks in the zickzack pattern. At its best the there GPS tracks are within 0,5 meters. Amazing! Even when running down you can see a curved line, on the S9B this was just a straight line down the slope.

12h of exercices since initial full charging on thuesday, mostly with Maps activated (used a lot) and gps on performance mode, touchscreen activated during exercice.
Backlight to low, turn to raise on minimum.
No notifications, but sleep and hr tracking h24 activated.
Still 72% battery.
Sync with app used a lot, watch menus and widget used a lot.
Impossible to say how much solar helped, but i guess it has a Little.
The Vertical is a quite impressive tool !! -
Vertical vs 7? What is your opinion?
-
@Kamil-Kamil There is a separate thread on this topic. Please check the forum.

Hi ! Does someone experimented some kind of Ā«Ā auto-lockĀ Ā» during an exercice ?
Two times this morning the watch locked on while running, without using buttons to do it. And Iām 100% sur I didnāt pushed accidentally the buttons.
Couldnāt tell how long I had not touch the screen when it happened.
Not a big deal, almost a Ā«Ā good thingĀ Ā» -
@Tieutieu
what do you mean for ālockā ?
does screen turn off or are just the buttons locked? -

-
I canāt believe tracks on this thing?!

@Tieutieu
when you very quickly double tap the data screen you can lock the screen with a third tap on exactly the dedicated field in the āpop-upā lock screen -

Love the watch, got the maps sorted (which was user error rather than anything on Suuntoās side)
The only negative I can find is the charger, the magnets just seem to be very weak and with any slight knock or movement the watch just falls off it. Completely the opposite compared to the S9B where you almost have to physically pull the watch off!
-
@MiniForklift my understanding is there are sensitive components inside that would be affected with a strong magnet. Hence, the change in charger starting with S9PP.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. Itās only a pain if itās not charging whilst stationary, for example Iāll quite often charge it while Iām driving. But not too much of a big deal I guess as you hardly have to charge the thing
-
@Brad_Olwin Iām a bit confused about the chargerā¦ I got one with my S9PP and now one with the SVā¦ they both look like they are the same, and they are both with a very weak magnetic force. I remember I read or hear somewhere in a SV review, perhaps DC Rainmaker?, that the Charger of SV is better than the charger of S9PPā¦ but you said there was a change with S9PPā¦
