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

I have a Fenix 8 and a vertical 2 and here is what i think. Sleep tracking on the Suunto doesn't work for me. Sitting around and watch tv in the evening is considered sleeping with Suunto. Therefore a lot of metrics are not right since i sleep much longer on the watch than i really do. For hiking i

Habe die Race 2 getestet und sie leider für die 970 zurückgegeben. War ein Fehler. Habe mir jetzt doch die Vertical 2 geholt und werde die 970 verkaufen. Ja, bei Suunto sind es 70% weniger Daten und Funktionen. Doch irgendwie hat man von den Daten auch nichts. Die 970 ist gefühlt die von der Optik u

How long have you spent with the Garmin? The more used to Garmin you are, the more frustrating you'll find the Suunto software. Garmin may not look the prettiest but the functionality and completeness of the software is far ahead of Suunto. For running it might not matter as much since you're not lo

I really liked the Suunto Race 2 but the data discrepancies between the watch and the app were glaring and frustrating. Suunto seems to spend all their time making gorgeous watches with no time invested in the software or data integrity. They also never engage the community or seem to have any beta

I had a vertical 1 solar to try for a bit but ended up selling it for no loss. Back then (about 1.5 years ago) the software was slow and quite annoying to use. Battery life was still abysmal compared to my enduro. I heard a lot of suunto models got a new firmware update about a month ago. Maybe it’s

Suunto AI is completely useless. Doesn't give anything meaningful. Even for complete beginners I find it hard to follow because it's training advice is too light or full of errors. Garmin Daily suggested workout was very good even for advanced users. And I could insert a race in the calendar and it

I had a Suunto Ambit3 Peak which I have now upgraded to the Apex 4 42mm. I also asked the same question a few months back. I picked the Apex 4 because: Map navigation is better than the Suunto because the Suunto maps don't have trail names on them, Coros does. Suunto maps only allow trails visible u
