💡About the Suunto Vertical
The Suunto Vertical 2, available October 2025, replaces the MIP display of its predecessor with a vivid 1.5" AMOLED LTPO screen — a first for the Vertical line — while adding a built-in LED flashlight, an upgraded optical heart rate sensor, AI Coach, and 65 hours of dual-band GPS. Available in steel ($599) and titanium ($699) with 100m water resistance.
- AMOLED display — first for the Vertical line
The Vertical 2 replaces the MIP screen with a bright 1.5" AMOLED LTPO — delivering vivid colour maps and improved night readability while still providing 65 hours of dual-band GPS.
- Built-in LED flashlight
An integrated LED flashlight is new to the Vertical 2, adding practical trail and camp utility without a separate device — especially useful for early morning and night runs.
- Full offline maps, 65h GPS, AI Coach
Global topographic maps with dual-band GPS, 20-day smartwatch battery, and an AI Coach that personalises training load and recovery recommendations directly on the watch.
🎯Who is this for?
Mountain runners, alpinists, and expedition athletes who want full offline maps, long GPS battery, and a bright AMOLED display in a rugged adventure watch. Suunto loyalists who need the brand's navigation precision and now want a readable colour display in the field.
❓FAQs
What is new in the Suunto Vertical 2 vs the original Vertical?
The Vertical 2 replaces the MIP display with a 1.5" AMOLED LTPO screen (a first for this line), adds a built-in LED flashlight, upgrades the optical heart rate sensor for better accuracy, and introduces AI Coach training recommendations. GPS battery improved to 65h (from 60h) and smartwatch battery is 20 days.
Is Suunto Vertical 2 better than COROS Vertix 2S?
COROS Vertix 2S has much longer GPS battery (140h vs 65h). Suunto Vertical 2 now has an AMOLED display (vs Vertix 2S's monochrome MIP), a built-in flashlight, and AI Coach. For pure expedition endurance, COROS. For better display quality and Suunto's navigation ecosystem, Suunto Vertical 2.
Does Suunto Vertical 2 have full maps?
Yes — full offline topographic maps for 100+ countries with dual-band multi-constellation GPS for navigation in any terrain, no cellular signal required.
Does Suunto Vertical 2 have a solar charging option?
No — unlike the original Vertical's Titanium Solar edition, the Vertical 2 does not include a solar charging variant. The AMOLED display replaced the solar-compatible MIP panel.
How does Suunto Vertical 2 compare to Garmin Fenix 8?
Both have AMOLED displays, full maps, and multi-band GPS. Garmin Fenix 8 has deeper training analytics, more sport modes, and a speaker. Suunto Vertical 2 has longer GPS battery (65h vs 48h solar) and a built-in flashlight. Choose Garmin for analytics depth; Suunto for GPS endurance and the integrated flashlight.
