Optimizing my Vertical 2

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'

Any converts from Suunto here?

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

Open to being converted…

I adore my Suunto's, they are the only smartwatches that I genuinely like, all the others I've tried have led to me going back to analog. And they can take pretty good beating, I'm not nor have I ever been active duty military or sworn law enforcement, but I'm an outdoor pro, a working dog handler,

Is the 9PP still worth it today?

I love it and think it's a steal at the current prices, but also realize I might be in the minority. I wore a Vertical 1 for a long time, but picked up a titanium 9PP last year when they went on sale and it's now my preferred everyday watch. It does everything the SV1 does minus maps and is so much

advice on the right model

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

Suunto vs Garmin

Hey there, Good call leaning towards Suunto. It's a fantastic choice if you want to avoid the feature-overload and app clutter of other brands and get a watch that's durable and easy to use. For your main activities – mountain biking and hiking – the choice between the two Suuntos you're looking at

Why T-Rex line even exists?

You could ask the same of any of the high end watches - Coros Vertix, Polar Grit X, Suunto Vertical etc. Generally speaking, build quality is what tends to set them apart, along with higher battery life. For the T-Rex 3 Pro, you do get more battery, titanium and a more rugged build and the LED light

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

Suunto Vertical vs Garmin Fenix 8 - real information no fanboying

I have a vertical, never owned a garmin, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m a practical guy and I don’t impressed by bells and whistles…. I run and do outdoors stuff, that’s what this watch is about and it does everything I want. I love the MIPS display, because it is kind of always on, easier on batter
