Why is Suunto not as popular than the other sport watch brands?

Software. Before the 9 Peak Pro, Suunto's desktop software, mobile app, and watch firmware have all been very sub-par. Garmin's Connect platform is mature, offers deep data analysis, has a developer platform allowing 3rd-party developers to build apps for Garmin watches, and robust social features.

Vertical 2 - Nice watch but..

My feelings with the Race 2 and Suunto in general (I own a Solar Vertical also) I sent back the Race 2 for pretty much the same reasons as you stated but I’ll also list a couple of issues I can’t stand anymore. Sleep tracking is garbage on the Race 2 the watch picked up multiple 7 hour sleeps and re

Data privacy

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

Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2

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

Like the look of the Vertical 2 but is the software really that bad ?

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

Froze mid run

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

Tried Pace Pro--returned...keeping AWU3 for now

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).

u/arrizaba: I have a suunto vertical and just switched to fairphone 6 e/os... Watch pairs ok, but I need to reconnect it more often than with my iphone. I am still unable to get the fairphone to recognize suunto sonic headphones. Polar heart monitor also needs to be reconnected with every use. What

Exactly. That is why I sold Vertical 2. There was response by support something like it would consume too much battery while using, etc.. I understand they advertise Vertical 2 having best battery in class... but I mean, if you want longer battery during activity you do not turn on music, if you wan

PSA: Suunto pace and distance might not be sourced from Stryd

My first indoor run was 1k off the treadmill (7k treadmill 6k watch/stryd)... my next possibility is that my treadmill is way off. This is common on 99.99% of treadmills out there. Some will be closer, like only 2-3% disagreement, others much worse like 15%. The thing to recognize about motorized tr
