@brave_dave I’m one of the new ones, so maybe I’m one of the problems for the negativity on this forum. If so here is my honest apology.
I’m happy with my Vertical 2. I think it’ll last the next 5, maybe 6 years and that’s what I was going for. I think a watch shouldn’t cost more than €100,- per year
It was quite a jump to pay €630,- for a watch. For me that’s not cheap. I was a bit sceptical with the tilted screens and the battery drain. It felt like taking a risk.
On both issues I was affected. The screen tilt was not big enough to send it back and (maybe) get one back with more problems. The battery drain seems to be over, while I don’t use the H10 anymore since it seems to be causing it.
Maybe what sounded negative on the forum was a honest attempt to make the watch work for me and match my expectations. It does now! The only ‘scare’ I have right now is that Suunto will release a new watch in the next 2 or 3 years that will match my wishes on the navigation, without upgrading older models. But the Vertical 2 does the job OK. I think this is not Suunto’s style and I’ll get updates in the future.
If this was negative as well, here are some positives: ++++++
