@GiPFELKiND I think it is good to know that this is the Suunto community forum, not the offical Suunto communication platform. Some Suunto employees are active on this forum, but they can only help us within certain limits because of their contacts. Just be glad they want to help the best they can.

@zhang965 I received a new exchange watch from Suunto a week ago after sending in my first vertical due to multiple crashes (6 pieces since May) and 4 complete resets. Everything has been fine for a week until today. Just plugged in for the first time to charge, the watch just wanted to turn off, the screen is black. Took the watch off the charger (thought the watch is in standby mode, like when not moved). So take the watch from the charging cable and continue to black. Only pressing the top right button for 12 seconds starts the clock. WHAT IS LOS SUUNTO??? I could really cry. New watch, 1 week old… and now this again?
Will this be the next watch I have to send in for repairs a second time?Hope you paid the watch with cashback service
Hello, that’s typical again, as soon as you report a problem that has occurred, the ORIGINAL post is closed… Shouldn’t anyone say anything about it or what?!
unbelievable! It seems that no one here has any idea where some of the problems are coming from, or know for sure that something big in the software shit is up. So that nobody communicates about it now and thus no new posts are added, the post slides down from the top and further down where nobody reads it anymore! This makes me really angry! I find clarification about the problems that some users have must be brought to the point, not covered up as is done here by closing posts!If your post is about this issue why not post here and centralize the info? Seems ok to me. Nobody told you to not post here.
Regarding clarification…tell me one brand that clarifies things? On garmin forums there are also big issues and you have zero info apart from “engineers are looking on it”.
Not saying I like it, but that is the way it is…If I was on you side I would also be angry, but unfortunately I believe it is like that in most brands (see the issues of sensors dropping, battery estimate and others on the Edge 1040…).
If you are not happy try to get your money back, life’s too short to be annoyed by a electronic device. -
Hello, that’s typical again,Dude, let’s make this crystal clear.
You are spamming the forum with the same message, and you spam in chat too and that’s useless.I understand you’re angry, but WE can’t solve your issue, write to SUUNTO SUPPORT please.
That said, as @André-Faria wrote, no one is muting anyone here, in fact the message wasn’t deleted it was just closed to avoid duplicates, since you’ve already posted and got some replies here (a thread for the same issue) and in another thread too.

Not sure if it’s the same issue, just charged the watch today and coming back after a few hours, it was like turned off. Long press on the top button did restart it. I don’t like this kind of jokes
Not sure if related either but 5 minutes before charging it, I quickly cleaned the watch under tap water and dried it of course. -
@darxmurf That may have been a simple reboot. How low on battery was the watch when you started charging?
I have several charging cables; one of them is very picky and vibration of the watch from a notification can stop the charging, stop map downloading, etc. I noticed this when my maps would stop downloading, I turned of notifications on the watch until map downloading was finished.
This is one of about 3 or 4 of the same type of charging cable. -
@Brad_Olwin the battery was around 40%, after resetting it it was a 99%. I don’t have notifications enabled or anything making the watch vibrating, it’s probably something else. But it’s working as normal now.
But still, waiting for a new firmware

@darxmurf exactly this happened to me more times, but at least the watch charged. on the other hand at least twice I put watch to charge, I was sure it start charging but when I come back it was on the same level. not good, as I need to quickly recharge before activity

Make sure your contacts are clean and free of residue from skin, grease, shampoo, etc.
Plus I found the magnets of the charger are not super strong, so it helps to put charger and watch on a flat surface.
Then watch for the charging screen to appear. -

I am not sure if it’s the same problem, or something similar, but I have put the watch on the charger and returned to pick it up after a while to learn that the watch is turned off (blank black screen) and I couldn’t turn it on at first. After fiddling with the watch for a few minutes and pushing various buttons it eventually turned on. I have checked the battery level after that and it’s charged to 99%. …

@darxmurf This is not possible, there are components inside the watch that are affected by magnetic fields. The magnets were changed with the introduction of the S9PP to prevent damage of internal components. I have one charger that requires rotating the charger to get the watch to charge, none of my other chargers are this problematic. If you are having the same issue as me, perhaps contact support and ask for a refund.
Personally, I would rather have the magnets than a port, where I think failure rates and ingress of water, dirt, etc are greater.

After bugs with crashing activites, now this happend to me also.
I noticed the watch wasnt changing time so i tried to push buttons, but everything was stuck, nothing was happening.
I pressed upper button for 12 seconds to do a reset, watch turned itself off, but it didnt powerup.
I tried pressing all kind of button combinations, but watch seems dead.Guess I am gonna have to send the watch to Suunto.
Oh yeah, and 30min before i noticed the watch wasnt working i cleaned it up under tap water (normal, drinkable water, whicj I hope watch should be able to handle).
I am actually really dissapointed with the watch, I bought it because it doesnt have all bells and whistles like Garmin, I thought great, less bugs, but I guess I was wrong. Even basic fuctions have major bugs and watch is pretty expensive and its been like 3 months from last update

I hope suunto is not a member of the “patch Tuesday” club
-
@markeczzz give it a day or two off the charger and then see if you can get it to boot up. Same symptoms happened to me and the battery seemed to die at which point it booted back up once on charger.
Worth a shot.

@e6321 I had this problem with my daughter’s Honor Band 5. I googled for help and came across with a suggestion to put the watch in a freezer for an hour. A few electrons probably rearranged in sub-zero temperatures and HB5 started charging again!
-
@BrunoH those black magic stuffs
I do that at work with dead hard disks, sometimes when you cool them down, the mechanical parts move a bit and you can potentially make them work again for a few minutes.About the watch, I would say the cold temperature will slow down the battery leading the watch to think it’s almost empty.

Hi all! I have been using Suunto Vertical since June, today was the first time since then I was in the water when the watch was submerged. I used snorkeling mode. After this, the watch began to reboot cyclically. But I could still see the main screen. After trying to reboot with the top button, it got worse, the watch stopped showing the main screen and just constantly rebooted. After connecting the charger and trying to reset with the top button, the watch simply turned off and was silent! After about 10 minutes, the clock began to reboot again. What should my actions be? Wait for the battery to drain (it can take forever in this mode)? Should I send the watch under warranty (I live quite far from official services and this can take almost forever)? Is there any solution to this problem?

@Sergei-Ladeishchikov first action: reach out for Suunto tech support. They can be contacted through the app

Has anyone had problem with pool swimming or the watch can crash only after openwater swimming or snorkeling?

@Florent-Perrier
Hello everyone;
I had the same problem with my Suunto Vertical.
I used snorkeling mode. First, the watch began to reboot non-stop. Then black screen. All reset, rebooting, charging attempts failed…
This is my second unit, first one had a dead pixel on it’s screen.
I’m very disappointed with Vertical all around and now this…
I love Suunto brand, my old dive computers still working flawlessly. I just switched from Garmin with very high expectations. All I have is laggy screen, missing very basic software functionality, terrible watch faces, nearly no customization options and now in the middle of the sea a dead watch.
I am really sorry about Suunto brand.
