The Race is nice, but I’m still holding on to my Vertical

@Jonathan-C agreed. In similar vein, we spoke about the questionable tactics of Suunto around sustainability here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/8157/sustainability-at-suunto/38

Finally !..
Finally I was able to see, touch and use a bit the Suunto Race of a friend (steel black)…The screen is brilliant, that’s the point. It also seemed to be a bit more responsive than my SV (but it was a very short time test).
But I must say I definitively prefer my SV titanium. It looks just better to me (color, size/shape even they’re close), and I’m very much confident about button upon crown.
Let’s bet the futur will be awesome considering SR and SV are already top of the line !

@Tieutieu
my son wished a new watch for his birthday and he decided to choose the Vertical Titanium over the Race Titanium.
he’s now happy to the moon and back
-
@freeheeler I’m sure he’s already planning activities to do with his new Vertical. Nice birthday present to get!
-
@freeheeler Good Dad! Own Vertical since autumn and iam happy.

@altcmd said in The Race is nice, but I’m still holding on to my Vertical:
Fair wages, no child labour, no oppressive labour practices, etc, any info on these?
You are making a lot of assumptions probably learnt from western media. Go there and see yourself instead.
Fair wages – every country living expense is not the same, you can’t compare it dollar to dollar.
child labour – do you believe that child can make Suunto watch? Besides the talent issue, there are too much labour looking for job in China that you don’t need child to work
oppressive labour practices – are you talking about working overtime? Don’t use Instagram then, meta is well known of working overtime. -
Just as a general note, let’s not start some kind of cultural clash here, please
-
@sartoric The only clash among people should be:
- we get lager!
- no, we get wheat beer!
and then the resolution: - ok lets get them both!!
-
I am still owning a Garmin, but I also like Vertical. I wish Suunto watches were able to use ANT+ sensors!

@Kai-Liu comment was about audit. And an independent audit clarifies it, not what media has to say or not. But so much for independence in C. One can’t even say Winnie the Pooh there 🧸
