I came from a Fenix 8 and switched to a Suunto Vertical 2, and I loved the aesthetics, the watch faces, the interface, but as others have mentioned, it didn't detect how many times I woke up during the night, I couldn't see my oxygen levels at night, and some other metrics were missing. Now that I

It's simply what the market wants. People are accustomed to AMOLED displays - they're coming from Apple/Google watches and they appreciate the visual quality, even if it means sacrificing battery life during sports activities. Most users aren't familiar with MIP technology, and when they encounter s

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

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

I am happy to read this. I also bought the Suunto Vertical 2 after my Coros Vertix 2 broke. The software of Suunto was terrible, that means no button selection made sense. I returned the Vertical 2 to the shop just two days later. However, unfortunately, Coros support did not properly help me repair

I have a Suunto Race, and I had ditched it awhile ago, but recently put it back on to see if I wanted to get the Vertical 2. It’s been a week, and I just can't justify the Vertical 2. Too much about the race bugs me, but you're right, it really is a beautiful watch. Shame really.
