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

Nylon so much better fit.
It would look a lot better if Suunto would decide to go for a 26mm band on these watches. The 22 mm looks too small and makes the watch look too large, especially on the vertical

Suunto Vertical Causing Cuts
This is indeed an issue for some of us. I have thin wrists and a large ulna bone bump (perhaps like you) and the Vertical's lugs really do dig in. Others might suggest moving it farther up the wrist, but that's impossible as it simply slides back down no matter how tightly it is strapped (and too ti

Vertical 2
I have a Fenix 8 and a vertical 2 and here is what i think. Sleep tracking on the Suunto doesn't work for me. Sitting around and watch tv in the evening is considered sleeping with Suunto. Therefore a lot of metrics are not right since i sleep much longer on the watch than i really do. For hiking i

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

Other than being beautiful, what does Suunto do better than others?
I had a vertical 1 solar to try for a bit but ended up selling it for no loss. Back then (about 1.5 years ago) the software was slow and quite annoying to use. Battery life was still abysmal compared to my enduro. I heard a lot of suunto models got a new firmware update about a month ago. Maybe it’s

Best watch for Ironman training?
I currently own a Garmin 255 and a Suunto Race S. Before that, I had a Garmin 735, which I used for my two Ironman triathlons. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think a high-end watch is necessary to prepare for and compete in an Ironman. First of all, many people want to record the en

What You Dont Like About Suunto 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.
