@maszop I feel silly defending a YouTuber on an Internet forum, but are you familiar with Chase the Summit? The guy has been doing in-depth reviews of sports watches for quite a few years now. I’m pretty sure it’s his full-time gig. While he might not be my first source for such content, I think his insights deserve at least a little respect.
And if we’re going off of video titles and thumbnails, then I think we can probably call most tech reviews “useless spam.”

@maszop something in V2 which is not pathetic or bad or bug-less or problematic or ready for war ?

(I like how “flashlight” made the URL.)

@gerasimos Why do mentions of bugs or not-so-good (in my subjective opinion) solutions hurts you so much?
It’s just a watch, not a religion.
It’s worth mentioning bugs because Suunto is very slow to fix them. -
Please let’s have only reviews here, not discussion about the watch itself. There is a separate topic for the latter.

@duffman19 I know these guys rely on the money they get from reviews, but who in the world needs a review where they are just looking at images from the internet. Pure garbage. He might as well do one of those Ai generated YouTube videos. At least it will be accurate and without Garmin compares.
If I have to hear “it does not have garmin pay and Spotify one more time…”
He is one of the biggest Garmin fanboys on Youtube. I trust his Garmin content, but everything else is iffy.
When he did his lab VO2 test I think Suunto was #1 or #2, but because that did not meet the narrative he wanted he glossed over it and barely mentioned it. Instead he focused on Coros and Garmin.
If you want honest unbiased reviews in the US on sports watches DC and Desfit are the ones to see. Beyond that…

P.S. I think his reviews are as honest as it can get.
