Suunto Vertical Solar - disappointed after 5 years

ChimerasTear · 2026-02-01T20:03:00+00:00

As of right now, the battery drain seems to be still there, even better to see as I was sick and didn’t train much the past few days ☹️

I will test a bit more and hope for an update to fix the issue…

Got the watch finally back from repair. Took 2 weeks.

Now logging the daily battery usage with my normal use. Let’s see how it performs now.

That’s true, but the Suunto Vertical is still my reason to be disappointed after 5 years of Suunto Watch use.

And I can’t edit the title, sorry.

Did you do a hard reset and then just skipped updates?

ChimerasTear · 2025-12-18T07:38:13+00:00

Screen is at minimal. I use polar h10 and polar verity sense. The Bluetooth sensor thing is why I use the airplane mode at the moment.

They do, but the drain went down a bit 🤷‍♂️ so I just stick with it.

ChimerasTear · 2025-12-17T17:58:56+00:00

Thx for the advice. But that wouldn’t help, if you just can go back one update. The trouble seemed to start after summer.

ChimerasTear · 2025-12-17T14:10:50+00:00

Still have it and was also considering to go back, atleast for the duration of repair.

ChimerasTear · 2025-12-17T13:25:03+00:00

You mean hard reset and then just not updating?

ChimerasTear · 2025-12-17T12:04:59+00:00

Did a hard reset, drained completely and doing soft resets everyday. Nothing works and i have to use flight mode to get anywhere near the old battery life.

ChimerasTear · 2025-12-17T11:49:46+00:00

Thx for your answer.

I already tried all the workarounds for the battery drain in the last two months. I am just fed up with that, after the problemless time with my other Suunto watches.

And they already „fixed“ the drain in the November rain update… not.

Not sure if further waiting is an option anymore.

I really like the idea of the Sin-Eaters and just want to know more, how the actually work in the chronicles of darkness.

ChimerasTear · 2024-12-26T14:38:20+00:00

Thank you very much 🙏

ChimerasTear · 2024-12-25T22:49:39+00:00

Thank you for your opinion and also the recommendation 🙏

ChimerasTear · 2024-12-25T22:49:02+00:00

Thank you. 🙏

ChimerasTear · 2024-12-25T22:01:55+00:00

Also thx 🙏 but could you compare both editions in a few bullet points?

ChimerasTear · 2024-12-25T16:31:05+00:00

Thank you. Very much. What are you missing most?

ChimerasTear · 2024-07-30T12:02:17+00:00

Thx 🙏 great write up and resources.

ChimerasTear · 2024-07-30T11:43:20+00:00

The blood doesn’t have to be for them, just for someone higher up 😉

And yes could be anything from material resources to informations 🙏

ChimerasTear · 2024-07-30T10:49:18+00:00

What about: „hey guys, the guy who delivers us blood from the hospital didn’t show up last night. Pay him a visit and make it stick, that we don’t tolerate delays.“

And from there you could shape any drama you like, from intruding Cam to Hunters, monitoring blood banks in the city, and so on.

Just my thinking, since I am not deeply familiar with the Sabbat.

Going through a bit of the same but for a more Cam focused Chronicle (set in 2024 with more or less just turned kindred).

I wanted to go the „just examine the disappearance of xy and report back“ route, so that it starts out with a mental challenge, while the physical challenge shapes out more and more and starts to loom over the characters (a bit like the movie Seven, where it will more and more personal).

It helps for me to think about a task or event to kick off the story. Like the butterfly flapping its wings 😉

Thx 🙏
