Battery drain

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Kramble this thread is about battery drain and yes there are efforts to correct that.

60 days without ohr + BT + other tracking stuff is possible afaik and from my experiences this summer.

It even charges from the sun for me.

I think there is a mix of what we are discussing about here:

Unusual battery drain
Battery expectations with different combinations of settings

Afaik from fieldtesting on the next release there is no drain reported. However I cannot know if today you had the vibra motor buzzing > 300 times because of modern life notifications that also power up the watch and screen and if that reduced your estimate compared to 1.5y ago that you were getting 100 notifications . I hope you get my point

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos hi dimitrios, if I may, I, like I think the other users who write in this forum, are not inexperienced users, otherwise we would not be writing on this and other threads. Before writing here, I waited 2 months, I did 3 hard resets, I tried to change settings, I tried to contact (without success) the support and only at the end I looked for a thread that talked about battery problems related to the 9PP, which was not present, and I opened a new topic, which was blocked by your moderator Sartoric, to whom I wrote yesterday but who has not yet responded. Furthermore, I am a senior IT developer and obviously I sent the watch logs via app, so as to provide as much information as possible to my colleagues who work for Suunto.
Reading your observation on the number of notifications and vibration that an inexperienced user could have set, is particularly annoying because it seems like a joke.
For every user who writes in this forum about these problems, there are 5-10 others who do not write and who keep the problem without complaining. I think we need more respect.

@t-Dox I hear you but also no need to create a new thread I think. We do have many battery drain topics atm so lets keep this here.

What do you mean with the above?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos hi, thanks for the reply. back to us, yes but this thread is about the suunto vertical. A user who accesses this forum, like me at the beginning, is led to think that it talks about battery problems only of the suunto vertical, which is not exact.

Regarding my sentence that you quoted, I think I was clear enough. I understand your observation, as I think everyone in this forum, we are not stupid. I repeat that before opening a thread, we did tests, we waited months, we changed the configurations and we also turned off the notifications probably! if we come to report a battery life problem, it is because after all these tests, we have found that the problem is there. otherwise we would not be here wasting time writing in this forum. I have recommended my watch (9PP) to several friends, I have talked to them and they all have the same problem with the battery but I am the only one who wants to get informed and write about these problems on the internet. Those writing here are just a small (perhaps nerdier) portion of your customers.

I understand your point, but believe me it’s not an expectation but a real change after the summer update nothing to do with my notifications which didn’t increase suddenly in July 2024.

My guess of simple user is that the new watchface manager created a little battery drain which is noticeable on long term by users like me and @SuperFlo75 with the same habit of use every month.
Hope Suunto and you could fix it.

By the way , nice for the 60 days.
