Garmin Epix 2 vs Suunto Race 2

Are you sure about Garmin discontinuing the support for Epix 2? In my understanding they do not offer the new features for ”F7 line-up” buy do bring any essential security updates and bug fixes. Anyhow, I do understand your frustration towards Garmin as I’ve spied the conversations and updates about

How do older runners deal with small watch letters...

It's much easier to read smaller print on an AMOLED screen, and they usually have higher resolution. I think the Suunto interface works better and is more visible on the Race and new Vertical. You can also reduce the amount of information on the data screens using custom sport profiles.

Optimizing my Vertical 2

You drop about 5% battery per day on the Vertical 2 and Race 2 when used in typical smartwatch mode. Give or take a few percentage points based on what settings you have, how often you use the watch, and battery differences between the two models. That battery drain works out pretty close to Suunto'

My path to Suunto - my way to perfect sport watch

My sportwatch evolution has been quite a ride: Apple Watch > Fenix 7 > Tactix 7 > Vertix 2 > Fenix 7X Pro > Fenix 8 > Vertix 2S > Race 2 > Vertical 2. In my experience, Garmin has become increasingly overpriced. Their lineup is cluttered with lifestyle features I rarely touch, and even the OS on the

Garmin ——-> Suunto

I love the simple and effective UI/UX of my Suunto Race 2. I hate how cumbersome and limited is to customize data pages (effectively you have to create a custom sport mode). But I wrote a pretty long list of what I like and dont like about the Race2. https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/s/Nb95PZSNLA

Race S vs Race 2 Software

From what I understand from Suunto strategy, they differentiate their products mainly through hardware differences vs. software. For us consumers that's great cuz they don't paywall or lock features to only more expensive watches. To be honest based on Chase The Summit's youtube review, the UI is li

What feature/gadget to expect in 2026

What I'd like to happen - A new marketing department that understands how to sell based on the products strengths, and realises that they also have a line of other products that they need to get out to reviewers such as headphones and hrm bands. A new support system that isn't confusing and let's yo

Race 2 vs FR970

Garmin probably has more features and I've used Garmin watches for ages for the fear of missing out but not being a pro athlete suunto covers more then enough of the basics for me. I prefer the look of the race 2 / vertical 2 over the recent Garmin watches and especially dislike what Garmin has done

My thoughts to the beautiful vertical 2… I am going to return

Used to one system. Give me a Garmin and I would be lost. Already the app is total confusing. Not judging here but yes change takes time. That said certainly everyone what one prefers ☺️ still happy with my suunto race (coming from an AW10), also guided me well through a 9h trail prep training last w

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
