"Many of the advanced sports watches I test seem to be going more toward the "smart assistant" route, with hands-free communication, payment solutions. But others are doubling down on health and fitness tracking, like Polar and Suunto, two brands that have made some of my favorite smartwatches I've tested in the last two years. The new is one of them -- building upon the features of the Race 2 with an integrated LED flashlight, vibrant AMOLED touchscreen display, and improved battery life."
"Ever since Garmin launched a sports watch with an LED flashlight, I've worn a Garmin on one wrist just about every day. I find myself using the LED flashlight almost daily for a variety of purposes, and it has become a must have feature for my watches. We saw Amazfit launch the T-Rex 3 Pro with a LED flashlight, and now Suunto joins the party."
Many advanced sports watches are shifting toward smart-assistant features such as hands-free communication and payment solutions, while some brands emphasize health and fitness tracking. Polar and Suunto focus on fitness-centered functionality. The Suunto Vertical 2 builds on the Race 2 with an integrated LED flashlight, a vibrant AMOLED touchscreen, and improved battery life. The Vertical 2 costs $100 more and measures 1 mm thicker while retaining the same 86-gram stainless steel weight. The center-right rotating dial has been replaced by a button, which increases touchscreen swiping during use. LED flashlights have become common after Garmin and Amazfit offerings; Suunto adds one but still needs refinement.
