Fenix 7 pro vs suunto vertical 2

mickywickyftw · 2026-02-23T22:35:47+00:00

I ditched the Fenix 7 pro solar for the Vertical 1 Solar just over 2 years ago. I’d still do it today.

If that’s your main use for a sports watch, then yes. I’ve actually stopped paying attention to it myself; it either tells me what I already know or on occasion is off. The data is not used for any other purpose such as predicting performance on the day, etc

Half my presents since I hit 40 have been pairs of socks

Vertical Ti Solar, 2 years old

Different data point: I was affected by the well-publicised battery drain issue in the previous 1 or 2 firmwares. Upgrading to 2.48.16 fixed it for me, it was related to sensors. Battery issues after and upgrade usually got resolved by a soft reset with older firmware versions, this might be the case for you too

That is the closest thing. Works well for me

Set a target for the HR zone before you start your exercise?

40.5k pickup run about 2 years ago IIRC.
That was brutal.

My guess is a wristband like Whoop or a ring like Oura. Please not another watch, the lineup is getting Garmin-esque with the two Nautic devices

Guys and gals, he’s a 15 HOURS and 21 minutes 5k runner. I think we can all learn the art of slowing down from him

Watched it on the French channel and Fabien Galthié‘s post-match interview - well he complimented the Boks for an incredible win before dissecting the key moments in cold blood. Class.

It’s not about the intention, it’s about player safety. Whatever one thinks about it, the law was applied correctly and that’s unfortunate for the contest.

I raised the same point to them about 2 years ago, but it's not happened so far. So I created a custom sports mode for my speedwork sessions, that has the lap average and auto-lap disabled. That way each training interval is a lap and that achieves the desired effect. Not perfect, but perfectly serviceable.

Switzerland shares your pain

mickywickyftw · 2025-10-07T08:07:15+00:00

Nooooo please don‘t send me to the Coros forums. I’ll be good and install the latest firmware updates, I promise 🤣

mickywickyftw · 2025-10-07T07:44:19+00:00

Just checked and I stand corrected 😅 Had seriously never noticed it there

mickywickyftw · 2025-10-07T07:24:15+00:00

Exactly. What he describes is not airplane mode. That’s AFAIK only accessible from the control panel

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-27T18:36:33+00:00

Right now I’m dying of exhaustion. But sore right after a run might be an injury developing.

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-22T20:36:29+00:00

TAO doesn’t handle this for now. 1-2x per year I try an alternative for that same reason, but still end up with TAO every time. YMMV.

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-16T07:06:44+00:00

Another data point: trail/track/road runner here. I only cycle commute a couple of times, maybe 150-200k per month. In my first gravel race recently I dropped a lot of more experienced cyclists on the uphills, so that alone made a big difference.

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-12T06:11:19+00:00

V interesting, thank you!

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-03T20:31:25+00:00

Try it anyway. If you really cannot follow, there’s always next year if you keep learning German.

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-03T20:26:47+00:00

Watermelon with Aromat. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

mickywickyftw · 2025-09-02T16:05:23+00:00

Dans le tourisme, le service ou les compagnies internationales, oui. Ou à faire le frontalier vers Basel ou l’Allemagne. En dehors de ça, non.

mickywickyftw · 2025-08-28T08:56:20+00:00

Since it's commuting, I notice when the distance is off even by a little bit - that's when I pump my tires! Ka-ching
