What do you expect from the next update?
-
@jjorgemoura what? What did you do ?
-
@jjorgemoura whhhhhhaaaaaatttttt?
-
@Sportsfreund what did he? What?
-
@jjorgemoura I think he expects a update with all the bugs fixed? Not āone bug fixed, but 3 new bugsā as we usually get?
-
@Tami999 itās strange that the Vertical is so far off from my phone, Galaxy 7 watch and Garmin. All those three show 500-1000 steps difference.
My Vertical was before I sold it always several thousands steps from everything else. -
@Iggge just out of curiosity - did you sell because of that?

@rooldaa He sold it because he would rather have his personal data transmitted to the NSA than to the CCP. Just kidding.

@Mountain No you arenāt š¤
-
@Mountain @cosme-costa that would be the same for me.
-
@cosme-costa I said I was joking because I didnāt want the Garmin cult fanboys to come and hassle me. I am scared
-
@Mountain But it must be admitted in all fairness that despite the complexity of Garminās software and the number of models on the market, its errors do not look as bad as in the case of the very primitive Suunto software, where very serious problems appear with every update.
Itās a bit like comparing the software of an Android smartphone with some Nokia 3310. Sad but true.

@maszop Iām sorry, but I completely disagree with this statement. I donāt want to wear my watch at night. I donāt want to wear it 24/7. I also donāt want to measure every aspect of my existence just so Garmin can spit out tons of graphs to tell me whether Iām doing well or if Iām sick. I really donāt appreciate this intrusion into my privacy. I donāt track my sleep, I donāt track HRV, I donāt care about it at all, and my Suunto is an incredible, precise tool that leaves me alone, allowing me to use it guilt-free, just for the pleasure of being in nature with metrics of unparalleled accuracy. Add to that the latest ZoneSense algorithm, which is now my main tool when I train, and Garmin becomes obsolete. Now, I respect everyoneās opinion, but in my case, I appreciate every day the work done by the Suunto teams to improve the technology that supports me in the sports I love.
-
@Mountain yeah, but you didnāt understand above post. We donāt need all that stuff, but if you get 10 bugs out of 50 features it looks bad compare to 10 bugs out of 500 features regardless of usability of those features.

How bad Suuntoās errors look or which are the serious errors? I mean, Iām still recording all my runs, rides and strength sessions, with all the accuracy and metrics. I still can use maps and follow routes.
That you canāt track your sleep is bad (solved with a soft reset from time to time) but that you canāt start a GPS activity and then you enter in a boot loop, what it is? An do not sell that Garmin solved it quickly because the if they didnāt solve it quickly the watch becomes a brick.

@Likarnik Which are these 450 features that āthe otherā have over Suunto? And hey, I have had Garmin and now I have Coros (both bike computers) so I can compare or check.
Anyway, as others say, to many un-useful features in my opinion, that lot of times stops us from advancing or enjoy our hobbies.
-
@Likarnik Not tracking everything makes my watch almost bug-free. Besides, bugs are part of tech products, Garmin included, with pages of forums detailing unresolved bugs that remain on watches, which become obsolete every two years to push people to overconsume. Anyway, Iāll stop here as Iāve made my point: not a huge fan of Garmin, to say the least.
-
@Mountain Thatās right, Iāve been using Suunto for many years for this reason (Ambit/Traverse times) and I donāt regret it, but objectively speaking, Suunto has much simpler software and there are plenty of serious bugs during updates.
-
@cosme-costa The last few updates - inability to sync with phone, battery drain, no WiFi connection, OHR turning off, to name a few - each of them could be called a serious bug.
-
Iām a new, happy owner of the Suunto Vertical (used Suunto 9 Peak Pro and Garmin Forerunner 255 before). The two most important things Iād like to see are:
-
An āexercise onlyā mode for the raise-to-wake feature (my Suunto 9 Peak Pro had this, but it was removed
). -
Perfectly centered hour and minute text when the watch is inactive on most of the watch faces. The watch faces are very good, but some of them look ābrokenā when seconds disappear.
Watch: Suunto Vertical Steel Solar
