Vertical as an every day watch
-
@Egika watch now has .48 and works as designed. Backlight will not go on when moving my hand.

@nassoscal The Fall detection is cool, but then you have to carry your phone all the time. If not: Useless feature. The only watch with a real useful fall detection is the Apple Watch.

Have now bought the normal Vertical All Black. On the first glance when I tried it in the shop I was really unsure about the size. But then I took it with me and tried it several times during the day.
It is really a thing of getting used to it. And now after two days I think it is good.
The first bike ride using maps was really nice. I think the maps implementation is spot on.
Really satisfied with my decision. -
@harry08 In my opinion the comfort is very good and at least better than the S9B. What I like are the smaller buttons. With the S9B I had the issue that especially when wearing gloves I “used” the buttons without wanting it. Seems like this won’t be an issue with the Vertical. I have to test it som moore

@lessthanmore onboard music really smashed the battery (both on my Garmin and my Suunto 7), so not having this feature is not a big deal for me. I only listen to music/podcasts when training and even then, its always via my phone. For me manufacturers make a big deal of having music storage and it’s a false economy. I don’t feel it’s the big ticket item many people make it out to be (Chasethesummit, DC Rainmaker etc). I’d much sooner have a long battery life.
Besides, my phone will store far more songs/podcasts etc

@Jeffrey-Tillack I do agree and most of the time I have my phone with me.
However, I use(d) it from time to time and especially in summer on short runs it’s nice to run without a phone in a pocket.
And I always listen to music when running.
But you’re right, I tend to value even the possibilities higher than the actual value or usage of it. -
@lessthanmore Have you looked at something like this?
It’s a tiny dongle the size of the iPod Shuffle of old that can play Spotify and Amazon Music. Their spec says it should last up to 4-5 hours with Bluetooth, though in my experience it never lasted more than 2-3 hours. Still, enough for most long runs, not to mention regular runs.
Best of all – it works with any watch that you use
