What do you expect from the next update?

@Sportsfreund what did he? What?
-
@jjorgemoura I think he expects a update with all the bugs fixed? Not ‚one bug fixed, but 3 new bugs‘ as we usually get?
-
@Tami999 it’s 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 aren’t 🤭
-
@Mountain @cosme-costa that would be the same for me.
-
@cosme-costa I said I was joking because I didn’t 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 Garmin’s 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.
It’s a bit like comparing the software of an Android smartphone with some Nokia 3310. Sad but true.

@maszop I’m sorry, but I completely disagree with this statement. I don’t want to wear my watch at night. I don’t want to wear it 24/7. I also don’t want to measure every aspect of my existence just so Garmin can spit out tons of graphs to tell me whether I’m doing well or if I’m sick. I really don’t appreciate this intrusion into my privacy. I don’t track my sleep, I don’t track HRV, I don’t 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 everyone’s 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 didn’t understand above post. We don’t 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 Suunto’s errors look or which are the serious errors? I mean, I’m 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 can’t track your sleep is bad (solved with a soft reset from time to time) but that you can’t 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 didn’t solve it quickly the watch becomes a brick.

@Likarnik Which are these 450 features that “the other” 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, I’ll stop here as I’ve made my point: not a huge fan of Garmin, to say the least.
-
@Mountain That’s right, I’ve been using Suunto for many years for this reason (Ambit/Traverse times) and I don’t 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.
-
I’m a new, happy owner of the Suunto Vertical (used Suunto 9 Peak Pro and Garmin Forerunner 255 before). The two most important things I’d like to see are:
-
An “exercise only” 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 “broken” when seconds disappear.
Watch: Suunto Vertical Steel Solar

In new update want sync weather via WiFi - it is very sad see every morning empty weather info and open app just for gathering this data
Will be great, if also trainings will sync though WiFi, not only BLE connection. -
@Kosta I suspect that the active WiFi module is much more power-consuming and that is why Bluetooth is always used.
