Anyone ditch Amazfit for Garmin, Coros, or Suunto regret it, and actually switch back?
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

Optimizing my Vertical 2
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'

advice on the right model
For general use, battery life, even at it's worst, is still measured in weeks on the Race and Vertical series. With the Race S having the worst battery life since it is the smallest model and the Vertical Solar having the best because the verticals have larger batteries in addition to the solar. The

Like the look of the Vertical 2 but is the software really that bad ?
I came from Apple Watch, briefly to Garmin, then got a Vertical (1 - steel solar) a year ago. I too thought it was a great looking watch which is why I bought it. I cant speak for everyone here bc the Suunto reddit group seems to be a place where people bitch about Suunto, so ALL YOUARE READING HERE

Garmin instinct 3 vs suunto vertical 2
The Suunto interface , on the watch, is very easy to use , very fast, more intuitive ...better UX in general. The GPS accuracy is top notch even on my Vertical solar, I expect it to be at least as good on the vertical 2. On the vertical 2 you have the latest sensor Suunto can offer right now and fro

Help Me Decide: Suunto Vertical 2 or Coros Apex 4
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

Garmin Fenix 8 vs Suunto Vertical 2
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

Goodbye Suunto Vertical 2
Dont even try with "smartwatches" for sport activties, they are very bad at it, not to mention the battery. Had samsung watch 7, pure garbage GPS acuracy, HR sometimes good sometimes bad. But the battery , damn was that awfull, 2 days maximum. If you want an accurate HR you need to use a belt anyway

Thinking about ditching Garmin for Suunto would that be a mistake?
9PP with many issues last weeks, but the rest are okay. Vertical user here, coming from Garmin fenix 7s. I miss some features like offline maps in my phone (explore app), but I'm happy with suunto, they are adding new features, slowly but yes. Map use in the watch is amazing, far away from garmin ex
