      @Jeffrey-Tillack IMHO the Vertical is the best out there bar none! I agree with you the Race S/Vertical Combo is the best. Vertical is not the best to sleep with for me. I am not a tall person and wrists are not large.

        @Brad_Olwin How about the weight? I always had an eye on the Vertical and now the Ocean - but the weight scares me.
        As I have experience with the Ambit3 Vertical I draw the line at 75g weight for running - its acceptable, but 9P and RaceS are much better on the wrist.
        But I am not sure if the weight is the only parameter or if size an strap can make the difference

        Edit: AWU sounds good with 61g

            @iterumtenta Nice! How does it feel on the wrist? Head-heavy or balanced? Because it was more the bouncing of the watch than the overall weight that bothered me

              @VoiGAS Coming from a Garmin Enduro 2, I might not be entirely objective, as the Vertical is smaller, very well-balanced, and lightweight. Personally, I love it. I’ve also used an Apple Watch Ultra 2, and I’d say the feel is quite similar.

                @VoiGAS I have a stainless steel Race and I use it with the nylon strap of Coros Pace 3. It feels very good and it’s so light. Next strap I’ll buy for my Race is the nylon Garmin strap. A have one for my F7XSS and it’s very light and comfortable as well.
                I wish Suunto had some nylon straps too.

                  @VoiGAS On my scale AWU2 is 61.4g and Vertical Solar Ti 56g. The Vertical sits higher on the wrist so is a bit more bulky. With the band that @iterumtenta has (same for me) the watch can be adjusted precisely and I feel is not noticable.

                    The Suunto microfiber strap is really amazing (and very stylish as well !!) i even wear it on formal occasions and is also very comfortable .

                      @Brad_Olwin actually saw my first Vertical on an airline passenger today. With the dark(ish) green strap. Fabulous looking watch. Maybe Suunto could think about sponsoring X-Alps again with the Vertical., or maybe an ambassador special (like the Baro).

                        @Jeffrey-Tillack Suunto has a wonderful Courtney Dawaulter edition of the Race S!
