Move to Polar?
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

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

Data privacy
Yeah, I did. When they implemented this, I had to agree; if not, Suunto would cancel the account and all the data. I declined, canceled my account, and sold my vertical solar and bought a Coros. Fast forward 9 months or so. I missed Suunto, sold my Coros, and bought a Vertical 2.I really don't like

Looking at the Suunto Vertical specs... "Depth meter for freedive 10 m"?
The depth in Suunto Vertical is measured by the baro sensor, which in Vertical is not calibrated enough for underwater measurement below 10 meters. Real scuba watches have better sensors.

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

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 techs specs
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

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

Thoughts after 130km ultra-marathon testing Vertical 2:
You're crazy, doing a review after running 80 miles! 😱🤪 Anyway Suunto has a confusing line of watches with a lot of overlap: Run, Race S, Race 2 and Vertical 2. If they had made the Vertical 2 with an improved MIPS display instead, things would be so much simpler and you'd get a watch with 90 hours

Vertical 2 - Nice watch but..
My feelings with the Race 2 and Suunto in general (I own a Solar Vertical also) I sent back the Race 2 for pretty much the same reasons as you stated but I’ll also list a couple of issues I can’t stand anymore. Sleep tracking is garbage on the Race 2 the watch picked up multiple 7 hour sleeps and re
