Switch from fenix 8

I used Garmin for 8 yrs, most of them re Instinct. My last device was Crossover Amoled. The physical hand broke so I sold it. I just bought Suunto Vertical 2 and here are my thougts. Vertical 2 screen is big and easy to read. The buid quality is superb. There are much less watch faces on Suunto and

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

Vertical 2 or Fenix 8

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

Pure beauty ☺️

I’ve been a die-hard Garmin user for the last 6–7 years, moving through the Forerunner series and most recently the Enduro 2. Yesterday, I officially made the jump and sold my Enduro 3. I’m still getting used to the Suunto Vertical 2, but I don’t regret the switch for a second. The UI is incredibly

My path to Suunto - my way to perfect sport watch

My sportwatch evolution has been quite a ride: Apple Watch > Fenix 7 > Tactix 7 > Vertix 2 > Fenix 7X Pro > Fenix 8 > Vertix 2S > Race 2 > Vertical 2. In my experience, Garmin has become increasingly overpriced. Their lineup is cluttered with lifestyle features I rarely touch, and even the OS on the

From Vertical 2 titanium to this beauty!

I just got mine as well...weird...I ordered it from Suunto.com and said it would ship on March 17...it delivered 48 hours later on March 12 without so much as a notification (California). Anyway...I completely agree with OP about the band...I've also had all the others and this one is just next leve

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

How's the heart rate accuracy now with Race 2 / Vertical 2?

I ditched my fenix for a vertical 2 and really only miss Garmin pay. The bells and whistles are 99% stuff I don't need, plus Garmin is making you subscribe to multiple subscriptions now if you want all the features. The fact that a new Garmin fenix Sapphire would set me back over €1000 also helped i

Deciding to bite the bullet on vertical 2

Keep in mind that REI 20% discount doesn't typically work on GPS watches and other electronics. That aside, Vertical 2 is a great watch if you want to run UTMB, but by the time you are ready to run it and have accumulated 20+ stones to have a good chance in the lottery there will likely be newer and

Garmin Fenix 8 vs Suunto Vertical 2

I owned the Fenix 8, and I just switched to the Vertical 2. Here’s my thoughts. Getting the watch you want depended on what my primary use case was. The Fenix 8 is more powerful, more feature rich, and provides more data, but I found a lot of drawbacks for me personally. I primarily use the watches
