    Customers have mixed opinions about the value for money of the watch. Some say it's worth considering and delivers quite a bit, especially for runners and hikers. Others find it underwhelming, making it difficult to justify the investment in such a basic product. They mention blood oxygen levels are 10-15% lower than pulse oximeters, customer support is not reliable, and there is nothing really smart about this watch.

    "...It lasted maybe a week or 5 days. Really good watch but the face was a bit to crowded and I'm older and eyes just can't see that small..." Read more

    Customers have mixed opinions about the functionality of the wearable computer. Some find it well-implemented and easier to operate than previous models. Others feel the overall user experience is underwhelming, with laggy performance and a lack of intuitive menus and navigation. The instructions are not as good as expected, and there is a lot of button pressing to access the right information in sports modes.

    "...It take a bit to understand the menu's and how to navigate them...." Read more

    "...Route management and creation through the app is also implemented very well...." Read more

    "...LACK OF IMPORTANT INFO IN SPORTS MODES, A LOT OF BUTTON PRESSING TO GET TO RIGHT INFO, IN MERMAID AND SNORKELING MODE WITH NAVIGATION, SCREEN..." Read more

    6 customers mention "Laggy performance"0 positive6 negative

    Customers are unhappy with the watch's performance. They say it takes a long time to find their heart rate when exercising compared to a chest strap. The watch also has issues like screen blackouts and lack of customization.

    "...For a watch of this price it is extremely laggy and the manipulation of the watch is not intuitive at all...." Read more

    4 customers mention "Customization"0 positive4 negative

    Customers are unhappy with the lack of customization. They mention that there is no wrist payment, no adjusting font sizes for older eyes, and the watch needs to be snug, to the point of discomfort. The interface is outdated and lacks important sports information.

    "...The watch needed to be quite snug - to the point of discomfort, which was exacerbated by the hard angular nature of the watch..." Read more

    "...LAGGY, SLUGGISH, OUTDATED INTERFACE, COMPLETE LACK OF CUSTOMIZATION, LACK OF IMPORTANT INFO IN SPORTS MODES, A LOT OF BUTTON PRESSING TO GET TO..." Read more

    3 out of 5 stars
    Improving watch for adventure
    I really wanted to like this watch but I'm too pragmatic to keep it.The reason I am sending it back is due to the performance of the heart rate monitor, it's not even close. The watch reports wild fluctuations in HR anywhere from 80-120 while I'm at rest. I compared to my trusty polar HR strap for reference. To be fair all optical wrist monitors are the same, it's a joke, the tech doesn't work. In my opinion they should have gone without it and reduced the size of the watch case and improved battery life. Don't expect to train seriously with only the wrist HR monitor, you need a chest strap....Basically all reviews online comment on the laggy performance of the UI but not many bring up the quality of the screen. Some even praise Suunto for "upgrading" the screen over the 9 Peak, but honestly it looks like it was lifted from an early 2000s flip phone, its not great, especially for the price. I understand they are going for battery life but a little more resolution would go a long way.The build quality is nice but it doesn't make up for the poor functionality imo.If you are a serious endurance athlete its probably a competitive alternative to Garmin for tracking workouts, assuming you are using a HR strap...Its just easier to use a HR strap connected to your phone than faff about with cumbersome interface on this watch

      Color: Solar/BlackStyle: Titanium SolarVerified Purchase
      I just sold my Garmin Delta Solar with Ballistics, so my compair will be against that. The good bad and ugly, I've owned about 5 different Suunto's in the past and for me I like the simplicity of them. The Vertical is a step above those now. A touch screen and for me it's not a big seller, more of a oh I forgot it has that. It take a bit to understand the menu's and how to navigate them. A bit of grrrr with trying how to back out of a few of the interfaces, but thats about it. Some people have complained about being laggy, I haven't notice any of that quite yet, but I did also get a update when first configured. It's very very light, almost don't know I'm wearing it, and being such a large face thats a plus. Battery lifes seems pretty good, I wore it two days and used about 5% a day, I turned off Notifcations, but when enabled worked just prefect. On thing I did notice is the weather alert, that was always something I liked about the Suunto. I enabled storm warning, but yesterday we had a storm roll in the late afternoon and I did not get a storm warning, so that has my attention to see if it happens again. I haven't used much of the other apps yet but will test the gps in the next few days to make sure that's working correctly. I do like they include actual maps that you can download to your watch now and in color. I wish they allowed users to modify the watch faces, there are things that I want and others I don't. They have a bunch to choose from but just not what I wanted.

      For context I just sold a Garmin Tactix Delta with Ballistics. I really liked that one, but battery didn't quite meetup to what was promised, even with the solar and I didn't really have alot of battery draining process running. It lasted maybe a week or 5 days. Really good watch but the face was a bit to crowded and I'm older and eyes just can't see that small anymore.

      I still think these are way over prices for a basiclly a smart watch, but will probably come down at some point in the future. Bottem line, I think it's worth the purchase and if you are out and about there are tons of apps for those hobbies.

      Biggest disappointment beside not being able to configure the watch face is the wonky charger, it's about 1ft and wire thin, one tug and it's probably going to break.

      This is my third watch from this manufacturer. The battery life on this new device is amazing. The operation of the watch is much easier than my past models. I haven't noticed a great amount of change for the solar function. However, I can get almost 2 weeks of battery life in between charges. Big fan!!!!

      Color: Solar/ForestStyle: Titanium SolarVerified Purchase
      This would be a really nice watch for anyone that uses route guidance extensively, but doesn't care about wrist based heart rate or maybe 24/7 wear. First the pros:
      * Truly awesome implementation of route guidance that is very visible. Route management and creation through the app is also implemented very well. This is the best implementation I've seen across Garmin, Polar and Coros. It captures essential information, doesn't try to put too much on the screen and has a very responsive compass. Note however that these maps are not routable - they mostly provide context when navigating.
      * Great design - this is a nice looking watch that isn't as big as some, but has a nice presence on the wrist.
      * Battery life - I found the battery life to be comparable to, if not better than the Garmin Gen 1 Enduro. Solar also seems to make a difference in battery life as well.
      * Features tend to be pared down relative to Garmin, but I felt they had a good grasp of what was essential on the watch, so they didn't overcomplicate things.
      Cons:
      * There are some strange inconsistencies in the UI - for instance the placement of interval settings. I had trouble finding this reliably for some reason.
      * There are sharp angles where the watch meets the wrist, and it isn't always comfortable -- especially at night, or when the band was tightened down. People with more flesh on their arms probably won't have an issue.
      * The heart rate readings (for me) were way off. There was a very specific placement on my wrist that would help, but it is not where I'd normally wear it. The watch needed to be quite snug - to the point of discomfort, which was exacerbated by the hard angular nature of the watch (see previous point).
      * Related to the above - Suunto only allows pairing one bluetooth heart rate sensor (I have three). It would be one thing if the OHR on the wrist worked well, but for me it did not. I typically use at least two external HR sensors - my chest strap causes bad chaffing in the very warm weather, and so I will wear a polar OH1 on my arm instead.
      * Sleep tracking didn't work for me, but then again I've never found a watch that was able to measure this for me.

      So for some people (ultrarunners come to mind), this is a watch worthy of consideration. Suunto really has produced a nice product. I think where they need to work is on the optical heart rate sensor, which is a generation or two behind both Polar and Garmin. If they fixed that, they would have a real winner, IMO.

      Edit: Suunto updated the firmware for the heart rate sensor in the latest quarterly update for the watch (7/2024), and now the sensor works much better.

      Nice style and great performance. Has all the features I need. I have owned 5 generations of Suunto watches over the past 30 Years and must say Suunto has outdone themselves with this one. It has everything!

      El diseñoe me encantó. Los materiales de primer nivel , La presicion del GPS es una maravilla y los mapas están geniales.
      Lo ocupo para entrenamientos de montaña y competencias de ultra distancia.
      Garantía que en la montaña nunca perderás la señal del GPS como si me a pasado con Garmin.
      De manera personal lo único que no me agrada es el cargador magnético 🧲 , cuesta trabajo colocarlo. Una vez que se logra colocar bien el cargador a el reloj la recarga de la batería es muy rápida.

      El cargador del suunto 9 estaba genial !
