Anyone know what this line is under the crystal?

[SuperFlo75]

@General_Witt Did you Countach Suunto Support? What did they say?

[General_Witt]

@SuperFlo75 I was in the amazon return period, so I directly sent it back to amazon.

@freeheeler Here’s another look at it if you’re curious. You have to look at the watch without the strap and sideways to notice it.

I was wondering what those two metal contacts are for? They don’t seem to be related to charging.

@Jonathan-C
Service connector afair

[Egika]

@Jonathan-C service pins for a wired data access

[Lechamoix]

@Egika Weren’t they the contacts for the depth gauge?

[freeheeler]

@Lechamoix
someone who pretended to know for sure spread this rumour, but it was wrong

[tuxella]

@Lechamoix that’s what I had read too, but it was explained in this thread: https://forum.suunto.com/post/116774 (see previous messages in this thread by @isazi and @Egika )

[Lechamoix]

@freeheeler ok thank you

[freeheeler]

@tuxella
there was another thread about it, too… I didn’t recall it was you
anyway, there was a 3rd source, too, saying it was a depth sensor

[tuxella]

@freeheeler I’m curious about this third source if you remember or can find it

[Egika]

@tuxella why? since it is misleading information, I suggest not to look too hard for this one.
Otherwise it will continue to live on…

[tuxella]

@Egika just out of curiosity. Sorry if this came out as strange

[Jonathan C]

Good to have such an active community to get our questions answered in no time and extend the discussion!

@tuxella
I don’t repost it here to reduce the chance for spreading false information again.
don’t take it personal

Thank You. Just received Refurbished Solar Vertical and noticed this line. I thought thats a part of solar system but wasnt sure. Except that watch looks great like new.

@Tami999

Greetings,

So to confirm? This line is not a defect in the photovoltaic panel?

I unboxed a new Suunto X Mammut Vertical and noticed the line.

[Tieutieu]

@L-C you don’t need to worry, we all have it. Connexion to solar panel.

[Todd Danielczyk]

@L-C yes it is supposed to be there. All of us solar owners have it/see it and is part of the sandwich of photovoltaic.

Congratulations on your Suunto X; haven’t seen one in person yet!

@General_Witt just checked my Vertical and it hasn’t got the bar. If I could work out how to upload a photo…
