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 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

My feelings with the Race 2 and Suunto in general (I own a Solar Vertical also) I sent back the Race 2 for pretty much the same reasons as you stated but I’ll also list a couple of issues I can’t stand anymore. Sleep tracking is garbage on the Race 2 the watch picked up multiple 7 hour sleeps and re

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

After the update, my Suunto Vertical 2 still seems to be off. At the start of my runs, my heart rate shows around 88–90 bpm when it should be higher. I usually have to stop briefly and start running again before it corrects itself, almost like the sensor needs time to catch up. I also run with an Ap

I’m only hesitant because I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the HR sensor on the Vertical 2, but I did read that Suunto pushed updates recently that supposedly improved it. Do you feel as though that's true?

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

Yeah I get that a chest strap would fix it, and I don’t mind using one. The main reason I made the post though is to bring attention to it. If enough people point out that the wrist HR on the Vertical 2 is off at the start, maybe Suunto can look into it and improve it with another update. I’m not ex

El GPS de Suunto es muy preciso y a la par de otros fabricantes en condiciones óptimas; cuando le metes en problemas, pierde la fiabilidad mucho antes. Tema diferente es, que desde la propia marca y sus "expertos" (españoles), aquí nos han vendido la película del mejor GPS de la historia y se aleja
