Vertical 2 or Fenix 8

I just replaced my fenix 7x with a vertical 2 and must say so far it's fine. I really miss Garmin Pay but on the other hand I wanted to quit paying with an American payment provider anyway. Sleep tracking is okay for me, somewhat different then Garmin but neither are perfectly accurate anyway. I use

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

advice on the right model

For general use, battery life, even at it's worst, is still measured in weeks on the Race and Vertical series. With the Race S having the worst battery life since it is the smallest model and the Vertical Solar having the best because the verticals have larger batteries in addition to the solar. The

Like the look of the Vertical 2 but is the software really that bad ?

I came from Apple Watch, briefly to Garmin, then got a Vertical (1 - steel solar) a year ago. I too thought it was a great looking watch which is why I bought it. I cant speak for everyone here bc the Suunto reddit group seems to be a place where people bitch about Suunto, so ALL YOUARE READING HERE

The Perfect Sports Watch

I get that. If the Vertical 2 was Coros', there was really no question. But that's why I went with Suunto. The hardware cannot change. The software and the app can change. The weight of the Vertical 2 isn't that much, by the way. I had the Polar Grit X, which was 64 g. The Suunto Vertical 2 is 74 g.

Garmin Fenix 8 vs Suunto Vertical 2

If you want a smart watch buy a garmin, if you want a sport watch consider suunto ;) Garmin watches are more customizable, provide more data, but I don’t think they are better. I would say that for someone interested in sport, how the body works, how training must be done suunto is really good. Tsb

Suunto Race 2 - how is your watch doing so far?

Well, I used the Race 2 for a month after coming from a Coros Pace 3. So: in terms of hardware, or hardware design, the improvement was massive — the Race 2 feels industrial, modern, robust, yet simple and elegant. It’s a 10–0 win over the Pace 3. The app: I really like the Coros app and its simplic

Switch from fenix 8

I’m using an Epix 2 and got the opportunity to use a Vertical 2 for a week. I loved the watch, it’s fast and easy to use. Just like it was said before, the lack of buttons gives way less ways to have shortcuts (which I use a lot). You would be likely to put the light on one meaning just another shor

Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2

I have the Race 2, had it for a little over a month now. I love it. It is my third Suunto I have purchased for myself. They are incredibly well built and to me the software is great. People talk about faulty software with glitches but I have never experienced any of that with any of my Suuntos, whic

Other than being beautiful, what does Suunto do better than others?

May I ask what models you are comparing? I found nothing in the suunto lineup that can compare to my enduro 1 for example or instinct 2X solar in battery life or durabillity. Amazing watches for sure but not even close in those departments. That said, I’m trying to decide on a vertical 2 or similar
