It’s like asking a mother which her favourite child is 😉 I like both for different reasons. For adventure I prefer Suunto, for daily tracking I definitely prefer Garmin. Right now I’m really enjoying Suunto Race. It’s refreshing, new, different.. breath of fresh air. But I am new to Suunto and have used Garmin for about a decade so I’m sure when Garmin come out with an Enduro 3, Fenix 8, Epix Gen3 I’ll be pulled to the other side of the court again 👍🏽 Cheers for the comment 👊🏽🔥

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me verifying something. I bought a Vertical and discovered a bug that makes me wonder whether it's a software problem or maybe it's something with my watch. So when I choose navigation to a POI in mermaid or snorkeling mode, there are like 5 progress displays that I can scroll thru, activity and the last 2 are the map and a compass showing remaining distance, but for some reason when I go from a map view to compass my screen goes totally black instead of compass, nothing else, after pressing middle button one more time compass shows for a fraction of a sec, and then goes back to 1st display. Do you by any chance have the same issue with your Vertical or its only mine? (Watch has updated software to the newest one, resetting doesnt help either) I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

@ActiveIdeas

4 ай бұрын

Unfortunately there’s going to be absolutely no scenario in the near future where I’d use the mermaid or snorkelling mode … and especially not with navigation as I don’t have the balls to venture too far from the beach 🤭 Might be worth dropping this question on the website “Suunto community forum” where you might have more luck, plus access to software developers ❤️ Hope this helps 🔥

For the same price, definitely! The Epix pro 51mm is like a £1000 watch here in the UK. I’d love to test it but I can’t justify that price tag for that mediocre (amoled) battery life. The reason I’ve never tested an Epix on this channel is because when it comes down to what matters I personally prefer MIP screens with more battery life for my training/ultras 👍🏽 Hope this helps Adam 🌟

Hello, i do also like you 100 milers or more and want ro buy the Suunto Vertical or the Coros Vertix 2 because of battery life. Which model of the 2 has the best map and navigation skills in your honest opinion? Thanks for advice! You're reviews are great! 👌👌

@ActiveIdeas

2 ай бұрын

Hey Gino! The Suunto Vertical is a newer device and I think it shows 🔥 The weight and battery life ratio of the Titanium Solar Vertical is industry leading and the accuracy is unrivalled and hasn’t let me down yet! The app on Suunto is pretty impressive too, you can whip up a highly detailed GPX and have it sent to your watch in less than a minute. The Vertix 2 did extremely impress me with the battery life on the 268 mile spine race I ran for 5 and a half days, didn’t charge it once (didn’t track activity, only used maps when I needed to) and finished with 30% battery life on that watch 🤯 The comfort wasn’t great, it felt heavy, was awkward to fit around clothing and did make my wrist bleed. Another fantastic thing about Coros is their maps are already pre-downloaded. If you’re flying to obscure countries (i took like to Barbados for example) there’s a good chance you’ll get better detail on Coros. Suunto’s map do cover all of Europe, USA, all the big countries but I found some regions (like Barbados) were completely missing :) Good to bear in mind if you travel a lot. One more thing I’ll point out with Coros is that I’ve heard rumours of athletes being spotted with the Coros Vertix 3 and it seems like the release of Coros’ new watch is pretty much imminent at this point.. it’s a bad time to buy a Vertix 2. If you need a watch now, I’d suggest the Vertical for this reason or to wait ❤️ Hope this helps 👊🏽

Quality does seem very similar; both high quality.. Only thing I’ve seen, is a very small amount posts on forums of people apparently having dust stuck in the crown of the race but I haven’t experienced that myself at all so maybe that’s just a rare thing.. this past 5 weeks of testing the race have been a pleasure. Between the two I would choose the vertical simply for its battery life and the types of races I do.. but I definitely prefer the race due to its price, the screen, the weight and the crown actually is quite cool 👌🏽 Hope that helps 🔥

That’s a tough decision mate.. If you don’t need the battery life I’d probably sway you towards the Race as it is a pleasure to use and tbh compared to allllll of the competition on the market .. it is the best value for money 💰You’re getting a device that other companies are charging at least €300 more for similar features, amoled screen, titanium casing, sapphire bezels. The battery life on the race is still great, you’ll get 40 hours GPS without charging. And can charge the watch during activities if you do any multi-stage ultras. Also, I think if you get a vertical you should at least consider the solar one as the solar technology in this watch makes battery life absolutely crazy.. if you don’t need solar, arguably, you don’t need the vertical ❤️ Hope this helps 🔥

@ActiveIdeas

Ай бұрын

I had those prejudices too tbh! But honestly the build quality is fantastic. Arguably, some might find it better, for example I really like that they engraved Suunto on to the watches bezel (south of the watchface)and added Suunto engraved onto the side (west of the watchface). Little attentions to detail. I also lended the watch to co-host Abie who is abit more chaotic (she’s always doing something mad like hyrox or scrambling up a mountain on the weekend) with her watches and it survived that without a mark on the screen, bezel and crown still spins smoothly. One thing to consider though is the environmental impact, I have no idea what the impact is on the race whereas Vertical is abit more clear, probably the more ethical choice ❤️

Отличные часы👍Race с амолед экраном и плавной работой интерфейса выглядят потрясающе, но сейчас на вертикаль пришло обновление, тоже стали работать плавнее. Теперь дилемма, что же выбрать. Нравится и та модель и та👍

Это хорошая дилемма, ха-ха! Выбрать между этими двумя часами определенно сложно. Лично я рекомендую Вертикальный для гор и всего, что превышает 100 км.

Happens to all of us 🙈 I won’t lie.. I had an affair with the race for a couple of months. I - loved - every - second. But sheepishly getting back with the Vertical recently whilst Abie tests the Race was a reminder of why Suunto’s Solar and MIP is sooo powerful. Battery life worries just isn’t a thing with the Vertical and in every day life, for me, it’s been a blessing. There’s no denying though that the Race, at its price point is the best deal in the market today 🔥
