Vertical

Lifelong runner and Garmin user since the original Forerunner 201, with numerous devices from a few brands along the way and now with a Balance 2. I have little reason to consider another brand at this point. Amazfit has fixed or added most of the important things for me as a runner. Sure Garmin has

Please stop making excuses for anti-consumer behaviour. It's absurd that a device would stop receiving updates after three years. This is not fast fashion, I bought a watch to wear for 10-15 years, like I did my Ambit 2. Anything else is a disappointment, and when I bought my Vertical, I was hoping

I adore my Suunto's, they are the only smartwatches that I genuinely like, all the others I've tried have led to me going back to analog. And they can take pretty good beating, I'm not nor have I ever been active duty military or sworn law enforcement, but I'm an outdoor pro, a working dog handler,

My sportwatch evolution has been quite a ride: Apple Watch > Fenix 7 > Tactix 7 > Vertix 2 > Fenix 7X Pro > Fenix 8 > Vertix 2S > Race 2 > Vertical 2. In my experience, Garmin has become increasingly overpriced. Their lineup is cluttered with lifestyle features I rarely touch, and even the OS on the

I’ve had the Grit X2 for two weeks now. Honestly, I’m delighted with it. I’ve tried Garmin (Instinct 2X Solar, 6X), Suunto (Vertical 2), and Coros (Nomad). Polar’s recovery metrics are on another level. It does everything, and it does it well. Having more metrics doesn’t necessarily make you better

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.

Good question, normally i would tell you on Garmin vs Suunto. Take the Suunto Vertical 2 its cheaper and step by step the watch is getting closer to the Garmin features.... But in your case (longterm Garmin user) maybe it is better to stay in the Garmin environment. Because there is datas which are

I have the Vertical 2 and the Coros Nomad. Both of them are great watches for sports tracking. If you are not going to wear it everyday, just for sports activities I would go for the Coros because it's cheaper and offers the same or maybe slightly more metrics and customisation. Suunto build quality

I owned the Fenix 8, and I just switched to the Vertical 2. Here’s my thoughts. Getting the watch you want depended on what my primary use case was. The Fenix 8 is more powerful, more feature rich, and provides more data, but I found a lot of drawbacks for me personally. I primarily use the watches

Garmin probably has more features and I've used Garmin watches for ages for the fear of missing out but not being a pro athlete suunto covers more then enough of the basics for me. I prefer the look of the race 2 / vertical 2 over the recent Garmin watches and especially dislike what Garmin has done
