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

Vertical 2 Limited Edition
Looks like you have to purchase the watch to get the watch face: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/14599/each-suunto-vertical-2-limited-edition Not cool, in my opinion, but maybe they'll make it available to all sometime later.

Vertical 2 or Fenix 8
I switched from the Fenix 8 to the Suunto Vertical 2. I'm not a competitive athlete, but I do run and use an exercise bike a few times a week. Ultimately, I'm not really the target audience for either watch, and both offer far more features for sports than I'll ever need. After three months, I went

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

Can‘t find favourite watchface for Vertical 2
Here’s the reaction from Suunto itself. Disappointing at least to say so…. “Thank you very much for your message and for your support of the Suunto Vertical 2 Anniversary Edition. Regarding your question about the availability of the Outback Adventure watch face, we understand your expectations—espe

Suunto Run first run, strange issue?
My biggest issue with the Run is it runs on a completely different operating system to every other Suunto watch which means it doesn’t get the same updates the other watches do and I believe this has a detrimental effect on the watch. It was supposed to be the new OS for both Race 2 and Vertical 2 b

Suunto Vertical a disappointment
I got a vertical solar one year ago and after all the “let downs” I only used it to read the time now. I had many multi day hikes lost, inaccurate readings, buggy interface, not showing notifications, bad sleep tracker, bad step tracker, bad all trackers to be honest. And it is not even comfortable

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

Ocean 2
I think the issue is less with the Ocean itself and more with a lack of meaningful firmware updates. Since its release nearly 2 years, it received exactly three, one of which was more of a hot fix. The last update it got was in September 2025 to bring it to feature parity with Vertical/Race at aroun

Still worth getting the vertical 2 over the Fenix 8
It looks like a bugfixes only. Where are the newer features that came with the Fenix 8 update? Suunto is adding the new features to all watches, including older ones. 9 Peak Pro, Vertical, Race, Race S, Race 2, and Vertical 2.
