Why is Suunto not as popular than the other sport watch brands?

I recently got a Solar versio of the vertical 1 and for me the reasons were (in no order). MIP display (yeah... I know the newer Suunto moved to amoled...) Solar charging for insane battery life (only possible with mip displays) Used to the Suunto ecosystem coming from a Suunto 9 baro Suunto is not

Anyone ditch Amazfit for Garmin, Coros, or Suunto regret it, and actually switch back?

Lifelong runner and Garmin user since the original Forerunner 201, with numerous devices from a few brands along the way and now with a Balance 2. I have little reason to consider another brand at this point. Amazfit has fixed or added most of the important things for me as a runner. Sure Garmin has

Switch from Suunto race 2 to Coros Pace 4 Jakob INGEBRIGTSEN edition?

I've had Suunto Race 2, Suunto Vertical 2, and Coros Apex 4 - unfortunately have not tried Coros' Amoled screens yet. Pace 4 will be MUCH lighter. The Coros app is the most polished of any I've tried (Garmin, Amazfit, Suunto, Coros). You will get better health metrics (more reliable sleep tracking,

Is Suunto still a bit of a lost cause in your opinion(s)?

Suunto watches never were a lost cause in my opinion. Well, they had a known problem with one of their gps modules, but my Suunto Vertical Solar is running and running and running like a charm.

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

Any converts from Suunto here?

So, the OHR is definitely better across all Polar devices, at least prior to Race 2 and Vertical 2. Did a run with a series of strides yesterday: Race connected to H10 on one hand, V3 on the other using its OHR. V3 matched Race beat-for-beat, and that's pretty much has been my experience over the ye

Can someone give a definitive ranking of the flagship watches.

Race 2 and Vertical 2 are basically the same watch. Your choice should depend on whether you want the watch to have a bit more battery life (Vertical 2) or be more thin and lightweight (Race 2). Also, whether you want a scrolling crown (Race 2) or flashlight (Vertical 2). First gen Vertical 1 is the

Suunto Vertical 1 – A Few Questions About the Future + Questions About the Vertical 2 and a Comparison with the Coros Nomad / the New Vertix 2026

I'll just tackle a couple of these. I don't think anyone knows what's in store for new watches or software. I used to have a Vertical 1, and now own a Vertical 2. There is nothing I miss on the V1. I have my watch set to raise to wake, and I do a lot of trail running. I have no issues at all with th

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'
