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

Suunto Vertical 1 – A Few Questions About the Future + Questions About the Vertical 2 and a Comparison with the Coros Nomad / the New Vertix 2026

I'll just tackle a couple of these. I don't think anyone knows what's in store for new watches or software. I used to have a Vertical 1, and now own a Vertical 2. There is nothing I miss on the V1. I have my watch set to raise to wake, and I do a lot of trail running. I have no issues at all with th

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

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'

Switch from fenix 8

I used Garmin for 8 yrs, most of them re Instinct. My last device was Crossover Amoled. The physical hand broke so I sold it. I just bought Suunto Vertical 2 and here are my thougts. Vertical 2 screen is big and easy to read. The buid quality is superb. There are much less watch faces on Suunto and

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.

Suunto as a sports watch brand - your experience

I would beg to differ having used Garmin, Coros and currently using Vertical 2. Suunto is much deeper in analysis than Coros. Coros does nothing for trail or ultrarunning. Not even Climbpro or trail VO2 Max. Coros will only let you make one run and one trail run profile. On Suunto you can make endle

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

Race 2 vs FR970

Garmin probably has more features and I've used Garmin watches for ages for the fear of missing out but not being a pro athlete suunto covers more then enough of the basics for me. I prefer the look of the race 2 / vertical 2 over the recent Garmin watches and especially dislike what Garmin has done
