Any converts from Suunto here?

So, the OHR is definitely better across all Polar devices, at least prior to Race 2 and Vertical 2. Did a run with a series of strides yesterday: Race connected to H10 on one hand, V3 on the other using its OHR. V3 matched Race beat-for-beat, and that's pretty much has been my experience over the ye

Switch from fenix 8

Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2

Please don't make it a smartwatch like some competitors, keep it a product for outdoor enthusiasts. I am with Suunto for reliability and simplicity in the mountains. Improve wrist HR, articulate the bezel on the vertical like the race, keep the Vertical 2 made in Finland.

Vertical 2 or Fenix 8

I just replaced my fenix 7x with a vertical 2 and must say so far it's fine. I really miss Garmin Pay but on the other hand I wanted to quit paying with an American payment provider anyway. Sleep tracking is okay for me, somewhat different then Garmin but neither are perfectly accurate anyway. I use

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

My path to Suunto - my way to perfect sport watch

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 would like to compare ask opinion about sunto race 2, coros pace pro and Garmin 570. What is brand recommendation to buy? My objective to buy is to tracking my training and sleep with heart rate accuracy.

Yep. But how reliable is sleep tracking really? I think you have to measure brainwaves for a good read. No watch does that 😋 As for the heart rate accuracy: Suunto is okay, especially Race 2 and Vertical 2. My readings are fine and useable. If one needs really accurate measurements: go for a heart r

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

Suunto Race 2 - how is your watch doing so far?

Well, I used the Race 2 for a month after coming from a Coros Pace 3. So: in terms of hardware, or hardware design, the improvement was massive — the Race 2 feels industrial, modern, robust, yet simple and elegant. It’s a 10–0 win over the Pace 3. The app: I really like the Coros app and its simplic
