Suunto Vertical is here

Just got mine, Black NON solar. Coming from S9PP looks gigantic at first, but not uncomfortable as one might think. Let’s see if I can get used to it and how it goes during training …

@fluca Congtrats on your new watch. Can’t wait to read your impressions. For me, the experience of real users is way more important than any review on YouTube.

[Umer Javed]

@fluca When you have time, would love to see comparison photos of both on your wrist. Thanks!

[JonnyKarate]

@fluca very nice!
I really wish the titanium model came in full black. I originally wanted the stainless steel all black model, but I couldn’t get past the dead space of the black ring on the face. at least on the titanium it provides a use for solar charging, but it just seemed like the plain black bezel part on the stainless was a bit of wasted space. i will admit i prefer the all black look instead of the two-tone titanium.

@Umer-Javed Yeah, I was really impressed when I saw the pic of your wrist with the ambit and the 9pp.

Has anybody experience with the microfiber strap using with the SV? I used one with my S9PP… I liked the soft feeling in daily using, but I also noticed that it was a bit loose… how does it work with the heavier SV?
I just wanted to test it, but my wife likes it so much with her new/ my old S9PP… she don‘t want to give it back to me… 🥲

@SuperFlo75 I am using the microfibre strap at home since it’s super comfortable. Also for sports sometimes, but I prefer a silicone strap for that. Not because the microfibre one is loose, but because silicone manages sweat better (for me). If you’re worried about inaccurate HR with the strap, I’d recommend a chest strap - I’m always using that.

@tomasbartko I really was worried about the heart rate accuracy with the microfiber strip because it feels soft and loose. I will see… the new silicone strips (athletic 2) are more comfortable than the strips of the S9PP (urban)…

@JonnyKarate I have the full black one. Maybe it eases your mind, that the black space actually has a super important use.
It is where the GPS antenna is located - without it the watch would not have its stellar GNSS performance!

@Umer-Javed My Suunto Peak and Suunto Vertical.

[JonnyKarate]

@Egika that’s good to know! I ended up getting the Titanium black one though. Either way, it’s a fantastic watch!

@isazi 1hr is much improved. still wish the x axis was distance not time. way more intuitive and useful IMO than time. the elevation graph will show a plateau if you stop at the top of a peak for a while. then later when you analyze your data it won’t resemble that whatsoever in the real elevation profile.

[Mff73]

sorry if already asked.
In the SV manual there is

But do someone notice that if you still long press (little longer) the upper button, when on 500m zoom, then the map is changed from outdoor to dark, then if you do it again from dark to map off, and the again to high contrast and again to map outdoor

[Egika]

@Mff73 yes, the super long press changes map style

[v.sacre]

@Mff73 Indeed and you don’t even need to be at 500m zoom.

indeed, but super long press then will do both zoomout+map change

[mikeorbreak]

Here it is…

[JonnyKarate]

@mikeorbreak nice! If only the forest green band was back in stock in the US…

[mlatej]

What is a square? It is not visible in all copies. Is this normal? 

[JonnyKarate]

@mlatej I have it in mine. I believe it’s part of the solar panel.
