Overview
Suunto built the Vertical as an adventure GPS watch with a large screen, offline maps and solar charging. It pairs with a smartphone over Bluetooth and is controlled through a capacitive touchscreen.
Hikers, climbers and trail runners get topographic navigation on the wrist plus support for several sports. The memory is generous for stored map data. The listing is silent on water resistance, band material and strap size, all of which matter for a watch worn outdoors.
Who it's for
Outdoor athletes who navigate trails and log runs, rides and climbs will use the map and sport modes. Someone who wants a slim everyday watch, or a documented waterproof rating, needs confirmation first.
Pros and cons
- Topographic maps for navigation
- Long stated battery life
- Large memory for map data
- Many outdoor sports covered
- Water resistance rating not listed
- Band material is not described
- Update support date listed as unknown
Performance notes
Battery life depends on how often the GPS and screen run, and the stated figure is an average rather than a worst case. Maps held in memory work without a phone connection, though data can still sync over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Touch plus app control gives two ways to operate it.
