Thoughts after 130km ultra-marathon testing Vertical 2:

You're crazy, doing a review after running 80 miles! 😱🤪 Anyway Suunto has a confusing line of watches with a lot of overlap: Run, Race S, Race 2 and Vertical 2. If they had made the Vertical 2 with an improved MIPS display instead, things would be so much simpler and you'd get a watch with 90 hours

Suunto Race S vs Coros Pace Pro

Influencers are terrible at showing the ecosystem, so it's a great question. I typed this up to someone's similar question in r/Coros, so I'll re-post here. Suunto pros: Suunto industrial design, UI design, screen quality, and build quality is ridiculously good. Native support for pace, power, and H

Coros v suunto

Suunto pros: - Suunto industrial design, UI design, screen quality, and build quality is ridiculously good.- Native support for pace, power, and HR zones. (Coros is cagey about power.) But I'd hedge this by saying Coros HR/Pace zones and fitness estimates are better. Suunto is a bit of a chore to ma

Should I sell my 9 peak pro?

MIP technology is far superior to the "shiny new amoled" in many ways (very high luminosity scenarios like glacier climbing, and gigantic battery life always on) but i understand the dull colors are not for everyone and the images on their website are a bit misleading, but its NOT a problem of being

Race S vs Apple Watch/Ultra

Switched from Apple Watch Ultra to Suunto Race S. Regret it. Everything that just works on Apple Watch - you don’t even realize how good it is until you lose it. Suunto keeps surprising you, but not in a good way. More like “oh wow, it actually did what it was supposed to” kind of surprise. Integrat

Suunto Race battery in Year 2 — how’s yours holding up?

It's actually closer to, 2 years and 5 months. The watch was released in October of 2023. I've had a Race since the start and have used it in a range of different weather and temperature conditions in everyday and backcountry environments. I'm currently using the Race 2, but I'm letting a friend bor

Debating between Epix pro and Vertical 2

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like Race S tbh, what I like most about Suunto is the lag free GPS/navigation (the only reason for holding onto Suunto) which is really useful while hiking and to get real time pace while running. Also, I love their calendar. But from software side Suunto is so mu

Update 2.50.26.28055

I have Suunto Race S and update 2.50.28 - and the watch battery consumption is gone mad. I literally loose 1% an HOUR!?!? Now that is not normal? Anyone else experiencing weird battery consumptions with recent updates? I have this like for a week or so.

Race S vs Apple Watch/Ultra

Hi! I’ve never owned an AWU, but I currently have a Series 10 and used an SE (1st gen) for several years to track my health. Over the past four months, I’ve been exploring watches with better battery life and tested the Garmin 945, Epix Gen 2, and the Suunto Race S (I actually had two units). All of

[Question] Am I wrong for thinking fitness watches offer way more value for the money than traditional watches?

I have a Suunto Race S (I use Suunto since the beginning of the S9) , I use it maybe 6 or 7 times a week during my various exercices, but it so frustrating sometime compared to an automatic watch. You have to recharge it The 'move to wake up' isn't working 100% off the time. Always on make the batte
