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

Pure beauty ☺️

I’ve been a die-hard Garmin user for the last 6–7 years, moving through the Forerunner series and most recently the Enduro 2. Yesterday, I officially made the jump and sold my Enduro 3. I’m still getting used to the Suunto Vertical 2, but I don’t regret the switch for a second. The UI is incredibly

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

From Vertical 2 titanium to this beauty!

I just got mine as well...weird...I ordered it from Suunto.com and said it would ship on March 17...it delivered 48 hours later on March 12 without so much as a notification (California). Anyway...I completely agree with OP about the band...I've also had all the others and this one is just next leve

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

Garmin Fenix 8 vs Suunto Vertical 2

If you want a smart watch buy a garmin, if you want a sport watch consider suunto ;) Garmin watches are more customizable, provide more data, but I don’t think they are better. I would say that for someone interested in sport, how the body works, how training must be done suunto is really good. Tsb

How's the heart rate accuracy now with Race 2 / Vertical 2?

I ditched my fenix for a vertical 2 and really only miss Garmin pay. The bells and whistles are 99% stuff I don't need, plus Garmin is making you subscribe to multiple subscriptions now if you want all the features. The fact that a new Garmin fenix Sapphire would set me back over €1000 also helped i
