What do you expect from the next update?
-
@Audaxjoe Hope it will come back.
Yes, i have used POI alot, but want to use the touchscreen sometimes. -
Is it possible to change the alarm distance during navigation after leaving the route from 100m to shorter.
If I’m walking in the mountains and I get off the trail, that 100m is a big loss of power. It might be worth setting this distance to 10-20m or introducing options for manual input, depending on individual needs or choice of sport. For cycling, 100m will be short, but for trekking it is already a considerable distance. -
When I have the dial set to 4 parameters during activity, the current time displayed is very faint. It could be enlarged.
-
@neverhood not possible for either. I think the fonts available restrict the size of the time.

Suggests adding pressure measurement.

Check the Weather Insights Suunto+. Is has pressure with trend:

I don’t know what will bring the next update, but it’s probably “close”…
A new steel solar version of the Vertical is here !:

@Fenr1r This one is already available, minus the compass info. I assume the lack of pixel density on the SV prevents this added feature.

@Frederick-Rochette this is more idle curiousity but since I don’t think it’s currently on the vertical, a heatmap layer that can be toggled on top of the map.
Don’t expect it, but would be oh so useful. I run in enough places where there are classic race routes that you’d never know exist on OSM.

And with heatmaps

I assume the different display technology prevents the compass to be shown in Vertical all the time.
The full display in Race is not always on. So the additional power needed to power the magnetometer does not make a difference.
Vertical display is always on. A constantly powered magnetometer would eat the battery in small time.t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal, Race S All Black, Race S Titanium Canary

@Egika Ah, yes, that too! Good point. Just like the second hand disappears after a minute. Anything to save battery!
-
I wouldn’t have thought the compass N indicator needs to be seen all the time to include that face. It only needs to appear when the watch is roused by button press. And then vanish like those seconds on other faces.
The Vertical’s compass widget (& thus magnetometer) appears to keep going for some time (always?) after the screen dims or powers back up very quickly after the screen is fully woken and scrolled.
Unless the problem does lie with the pixels.
-
@Fenr1r
Maybe the main “issue” is that that face need to be reworked to be used on SV (compass and seconds disappearing) as it wasn’t designed for AOD -
@sartoric
Yup. Exactly the reworking I’d appreciate if viable. “Expect” would probably be overstating it. -
In the main watch face of SV at the bottom, I would like to choose with tap the altimeter curve (actual view) or barometric pressure curve. It would be best.

As an runner with less than perfect close-in eyesight who does not want to or cannot wear glasses when running (and I can’t be the only person like this) I need the ability to set up a single data field screen that shows data (for example, time of day, lap duration) in large characters. The Vertical is a great watch (display, feel, ease of use, battery life) but having a minimum of 3 data fields per screen is, to me, a weakness that could be easily fixed.
(I had originally written the following but see now that I can set a timer before a run and the timer will be available during the run, although it requires a button press to re-start it.) Also: the ability to set a reminder ‘alarm’ (through vibration) that repeats every, say, 20 or 30 minutes, during an endurance run.
Thanks.

Legibility of the display is really, really important!

In fact, at that point, where I have become accustomed to functioning with certain bugs and feature limitations, I only ask of the developers:
MUCH LARGER TEXTS SIZE!!! please
