Vertical 2

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

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'

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

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.

Dont even try with "smartwatches" for sport activties, they are very bad at it, not to mention the battery. Had samsung watch 7, pure garbage GPS acuracy, HR sometimes good sometimes bad. But the battery , damn was that awfull, 2 days maximum. If you want an accurate HR you need to use a belt anyway

Look at Suunto Vertical 2, Amoled screen and 65 hours in full multiband GPS mode during activity. Apex 4 and and even Vertix 2s don’t come near that number with there MIP screens ind multiband mode.

Peak 5 is a very old watch. If you look at the more recent Suunto watches even the most basic Race S easily handles a 100k and even a 100 miler. It lasts 30 hours in the most accurate GPS mode with dual-band GPS, navigation, and maps. And Suunto Race 2 and Vertical 2 provide 55/65 hours in the most

The Suunto interface , on the watch, is very easy to use , very fast, more intuitive ...better UX in general. The GPS accuracy is top notch even on my Vertical solar, I expect it to be at least as good on the vertical 2. On the vertical 2 you have the latest sensor Suunto can offer right now and fro
