Vertical

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'

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

I switched from the Apple Watch Ultra to a proper sports watch as well, so maybe my experience helps. I had the Apple Watch Ultra a few times and kept selling it again.

bassically any race or vertical model will be upgrade here soo it comes down to if you want MIP screen on vertical 1 or you want better HR sensor and AMOLED of Vertical 2, if you want a rotate button then its Race 1 or 2, main difference is in better HR sensor with race 2. bassically the rest is abo

Suunto Vertical Solar. Best looking gps watch imo

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

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
