Vertical

I think Suunto made a real misstep with the Vertical 2 in giving it the same screen as the Race 2. The original Race and Vertical had distinct and separate identities and niches. But the Vertical 2 and Race 2 lack that clear separation in my opinion. Turning the Vertical 2 into a large Race S with w

The depth in Suunto Vertical is measured by the baro sensor, which in Vertical is not calibrated enough for underwater measurement below 10 meters. Real scuba watches have better sensors.

I’m using a race 2 (very similar to the vertical 2) side by side atm. The grit x2 pro is built MILES better than the suunto. I bought the suunto titanium and it’s literally just a little titanium ring on top of a plastic watch. The upgrade felt like a waste. The polar has a great finish that takes b

It's simply what the market wants. People are accustomed to AMOLED displays - they're coming from Apple/Google watches and they appreciate the visual quality, even if it means sacrificing battery life during sports activities. Most users aren't familiar with MIP technology, and when they encounter s

Yeah, I did. When they implemented this, I had to agree; if not, Suunto would cancel the account and all the data. I declined, canceled my account, and sold my vertical solar and bought a Coros. Fast forward 9 months or so. I missed Suunto, sold my Coros, and bought a Vertical 2.I really don't like

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

Thanks for this! I have had the exact same experience, but instead of help, most on this forum will defend Suunto and tell you “this has never happened to me in ‘X’ years.” People in my running group have purchased Suunto watches because of my recommendations. I feel terrible when they complain to m

For sure -- Not arguing that the Race 2 isn't a better watch. It's also almost 2x the price of the direct competition from Amazfit (Balance 2). It'll be interesting to see if Suunto can continue to flush out some of the missing features like lacking music on everything but their base model Run. I kn

Do not go there, Suunto has almost as many bugs as Amazfit. Hardware is great, but software is 10 years behind. I mostly use Apple WU3, but I have tried Garmin (FR965, Venu 2, Venu 3, Venu 4), Coros (Pace 3, Pace 4), Suunto (Vertical 2, Run) and Amazfit (Balance, Balance 2, Helio Strap, Helio Ring).
