Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2

Please don't make it a smartwatch like some competitors, keep it a product for outdoor enthusiasts. I am with Suunto for reliability and simplicity in the mountains. Improve wrist HR, articulate the bezel on the vertical like the race, keep the Vertical 2 made in Finland.

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

Goodbye Suunto Vertical 2

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

Suunto as a sports watch brand - your experience

It's preference really, Coros and Suunto are so close to each other about how everything works. Training and sports are the main focus for both. Suunto just has much more experience and that shows in features. Just returned from Coros Apex 4 back to Vertical 2. And it wasn't cause Coros was bad, I j

I would like to compare ask opinion about sunto race 2, coros pace pro and Garmin 570. What is brand recommendation to buy? My objective to buy is to tracking my training and sleep with heart rate accuracy.

Yep. But how reliable is sleep tracking really? I think you have to measure brainwaves for a good read. No watch does that πŸ˜‹ As for the heart rate accuracy: Suunto is okay, especially Race 2 and Vertical 2. My readings are fine and useable. If one needs really accurate measurements: go for a heart r

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 β€” 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

Need help choosing a running/trail watch: Coros Apex 4, Suunto Vertical 2 / Race 2, or used Fenix 7 Pro

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

Vertical 2 for 400 euros or Venu 4 for 500 euros ?

I went from Epix 2 Pro to Vertical 2. So far not regretting it. I sometimes miss the body battery, Suunto resources is pure garbage. Also things are more automated in Garmin land. Heart rate zone detection, analysis of your health stats, etc. If always look at the resting heart rate and HRV, so I ca
