As outdoor activities rise in popularity around the world, the range of impressive outdoor watches continues to expand to meet this increased demand. The Suunto Vertical is the latest adventure watch to blend the innovative use of GPS technology with a jaw-dropping improvement in battery lifespan. Capable of operating for up to sixty days, the Suunto Vertical also features solar charging capabilities for potentially infinite use in the wilderness.
Sporting a crystal clear screen, users can hone in on maps to view precise information on their whereabouts, isolating nearby landmarks such as water, paths, and contour lines to assist with their orienteering. The inclusion of an offline mode means the lack of internet access is never an issue, helping explorers stay safe in challenging environments. Storms and other adverse weather conditions are sent directly to the Suunto Vertical watch via notifications for additional peace of mind while off the beaten track.
Suunto has also seen fit to develop a comprehensive app to accompany the Vertical, delivering extensive map collections alongside a training zone tool and workout planner. This makes it an excellent choice for runners and cyclists looking for a versatile adventure watch they can customize for a range of occasions to monitor their fitness progression over time. It’s another welcome addition to the innovative adventure watches that are reshaping how we plan and execute expeditions. The watch is available in stainless steel for $629 and grade 5 Titanium for $839 on Suunto’s website.
