Suunto has introduced the Vertical 2 watch.
The new model features a redesigned optical heart rate sensor, a larger and brighter AMOLED display for clarity in all conditions, an upgraded processor for faster and smoother operation, and a built-in LED flashlight.
The Suunto Vertical 2 is the new generation of Suunto’s ultimate outdoor technology, offering endurance and performance in one. The completely redesigned optical heart rate sensor enables more accurate wrist-based measurements, supporting training, recovery, and health tracking in all conditions. A new processor and expanded memory make the interface faster, smoother, and ready for future updates. The battery life of the Vertical 2 delivers up to 65 hours of GPS tracking in its most accurate dual-band mode and up to 20 days of smartwatch use.
Vertical 2 has free detailed offline maps, available on the watch and in the Suunto app, including contour lines, paths, and terrain features for precise route planning and guidance. In addition, Suunto’s Climb Guidance feature helps users prepare for and navigate hilly or mountainous terrain by providing real-time elevation profiles, colour-coded route sections, and advance notifications of climbs and descents. It enhances both route planning and on-trail navigation by offering detailed insights into gradient, distance, and elevation changes.
Quick Start Navigation enables route changes on the move without interrupting activity tracking.
The new 1.5″ AMOLED display with 466×466 resolution is visible in direct sunlight, ensuring maps and metrics remain clear in any environment. The design, available in steel or titanium, is built for durability. Three side buttons ensure easy operation in all weather, even when wearing gloves.
A practical addition for outdoor use, the integrated LED flashlight in the bezel offers adjustable brightness, a red-light mode for night vision, and safety functions such as SOS, breathing and alert.
With 115 sport modes, advanced training analytics, weather alerts, altitude data, and sunrise and sunset times, Vertical 2 adapts to a wide range of sports and environments. The watch has seamless integration with the Suunto app and over 300 partner services expand its capabilities further. The watch is also constantly improved with regular software updates, and additional features and functionalities available through the SuuntoPlus Store.
The Suunto Vertical 2 is available in four stainless steel variants: all black, pine green, arctic gray, canyon, and two titanium variants in titanium black and titanium sage.
The Suunto Vertical 2 will be available from October 15, at suunto.com, amazon and select partners across the US with the Vertical 2 Stainless Steel at $599 and the Vertical 2 Titanium retailing for $699.
