Suunto - Vertical 2
About this product
Ultimate adventure watch for outdoor expeditions and training — improved
Designed for adventure
For adventurers who demand the best when testing their limits — far from the trailhead and cell service.
The Suunto Vertical 2 improves upon the original with a brighter, larger LTPO AMOLED screen, a redesigned optical heart rate sensor coupled with a flat-lay backpanel for a better fit, and a built-in LED flashlight that provides safety and convenience after dark; all stacked on top of the weeks-on-end battery life, advanced navigation tools, and tough design that the Vertical family is known for. From planning and training to execution, Suunto Vertical 2 is made to explore new frontiers.

Built to endure
When you're in the thick of it, you need equipment you can trust without hesitation. The Suunto Vertical 2 shrugs off scrapes and scratches during rocky ascents, and forges confidently in downpours thanks to water resistance down to 100m. Easily navigate in low and bright light with the larger, brighter AMOLED display, while the interface is easily operable — without removing your gloves — at the push of a button. This is your adventure watch to get out there, no matter the weather or environment.
Battery for your longest missions
For multi-day expeditions or self-supported adventure racing, you need a battery that can go the distance. Suunto Vertical 2 delivers up to 65 hours of training time in the most accurate GPS mode and up to 20 days of daily smartwatch use. This extended battery life is designed to keep you going further, longer.
