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

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

Until a few months ago, I was using the Garmin Enduro 3. The VO2 max value it showed was 50. Currently, on the Suunto Vertical 2, it is 44.4. I haven’t changed anything in my training, and I haven’t been ill. I’ve also noticed that increasing the VO2 max values here is significantly more difficult.

Pour moi, le principal défaut de la Vertical 2, c’est clairement l’application. Il est aujourd’hui impossible d’analyser correctement ses données de course, même sur tablette : l’app n’est tout simplement pas optimisée pour une analyse avancée. Un exemple très simple : avec la fonction Climb, la mon

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

Ciao. Grazie del commento. Non ho capito… Allo stato attuale, quando vado in bici e uso Edge 530, dopo la sincronizzazione mi ritrovo l’attività anche nella cronologia del Fenix 8. Ovviamente non mi interessa avere l’attività nella cronologia di Vertical 2 ma se non si sincronizzano il carico di all
