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

Truthfully I see the T-Rex Ultra 2 at least on par with the Vertical 2. It offers more features on the smartwatch side of things, certainly. I mean, sure, I get that you can get Amazfit's full feature set for much cheaper, too. But isn't that more of an argument against the Suunto model? For a highe

Habe die Race 2 getestet und sie leider für die 970 zurückgegeben. War ein Fehler. Habe mir jetzt doch die Vertical 2 geholt und werde die 970 verkaufen. Ja, bei Suunto sind es 70% weniger Daten und Funktionen. Doch irgendwie hat man von den Daten auch nichts. Die 970 ist gefühlt die von der Optik u

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

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

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

It looks like a bugfixes only. Where are the newer features that came with the Fenix 8 update? Suunto is adding the new features to all watches, including older ones. 9 Peak Pro, Vertical, Race, Race S, Race 2, and Vertical 2.

Thanks. I have T Rex 3 and Fenix 7 and am wondering about Suunto race 2 or Vertical 2. But from what I saw researching Suunto watches, I would not get anything with it function-wise, just better looking watch. Your experience confirms that as well. Thanks for sharing.

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

The MSRP for Vertical 2 is 600 EUR for the standard version or 700 EUR for the titanium version. This is Garmin Forerunner 970 territory with all its bells and whistles. You've paid that money and haven't even gotten contactless payment. Small thing, I know, but it suddenly becomes a very useful fea
