Vertical

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’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.

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.

For sure -- Not arguing that the Race 2 isn't a better watch. It's also almost 2x the price of the direct competition from Amazfit (Balance 2). It'll be interesting to see if Suunto can continue to flush out some of the missing features like lacking music on everything but their base model Run. I kn

I have had many watches and I had a similar impression when I bought the T-Rex Ultra 2. Considering the prices of watches like the Suunto Race S (or the Race 2 with the several 10% discounts), Coros Nomad/Pace Pro or the Garmin FR965 (which is a fantastic watch yet), I think Amazfit should stick bet

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

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.

The gap is incredibly close though and with the Vertical 2 data above over 2 days gps time. I am not an AMOLED diehard, I use a Nomad myself but having owned a 51mm Garmin Epix since 2023 no one is really needing to worry about battery life with Vertix size watches, regardless of display type from e

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
