Confused about which watch to buy

I was a garmin user (forerunner 255, 965). Now I have suunto run. I have had it since the beginning of October. I have almost a thousand kilometers run with suunto run. I left garmin because of the crazy prices and because I no longer follow and am not interested in a lot of the data provided by gar

From Race a Race 2

It's smaller and more compact, yet at the same time has a slightly bigger screen. It's design language is closer to that of the Race S, and many are finding the case design and lug set up to be more comfortable. Newer and better sensor suite if you care about that kind of thing too. But right now it

So all of these are great, but which one to choose?(Suunto Race S, Polar avant m3or coros Pace pro)

I have, and use daily, a Suunto Race 2. I have had the Coros Apex 2 Pro and Coros Pace 2. Essentially, from my experience, Coros and Suunto are on the same level. People complain of all sorts of issues with Suunto, but I have yet to encounter any. The optical heart rate monitor works great, GPS work

Upgrade from Suunto 9 Peak to....?

The Race, Race S, and Vertical would be great choices if you want could affordable options. Of the three I would focus the most on the Race and Race S. The S is a smaller version of the Race, It's not as durable and doesn't have as good of a battery life but it has updated sensors. The Race 2 draws

New potential Suunto owner

The Vertical has the best battery life, both with it's regular iteration and of course with the solar models. It's the watch that put Suunto back on the map. But it's the oldest of the flagship watches and it's starting to show its age in a few areas. The Race was built directly off of the feedback

I bought Suunto Race S & Coros Pace Pro

I came from Garmin and have been using Race S for about 6 months now, I’ve been very satisfied and feel it’s an upgrade. The watch and software are solid, I don’t really have any complaints. Optical HR is suprisingly accurate, I do use HR belt nowadays but was completely satisfied with the OHR of th

Vertical 2 compass calibration issue

Do you spend a lot of time around computer equipment, laptops especially, or other electronics in close proximity to the watch? Anything magnetic? Do you frequently turn the watch off and on? Because I would say about maybe 75% of the "my compasses doesn't work" questions I get, both with digital an

I need your opinion on the Suunto 9 Peak Pro in 2026

I just asked this last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/s/U0w5O0CfPH. At the end of the day, it is an older watch. Yes the case and sapphire is beautiful and the price is very enticing. The sensors are older and at some point I won't be surprised when support for it abruptly stops. I am decidin
