Great GPS functionality - locks on quickly. Suunto coach comes free with the app and has AI training plans, so, you don’t have to subscribe to such things separately. Battery life is great.
When endurance, navigation, and precision matter most, the Suunto Vertical stands out as one of the best GPS watches available for ultra runners, long-distance trail runners, and adventure athletes.
With unrivaled battery life, multi-band GPS accuracy, offline topographic maps, and a rugged build, the Suunto Vertical is designed to handle the toughest challenges—whether that’s a multi-day ultra event like the Montane Spine Race or an unsupported mountain expedition.
Let’s dive into what makes the Suunto Vertical a top-tier choice for ultra-endurance athletes and outdoor explorers.
One of the biggest advantages of the Suunto Vertical is its exceptional battery performance, ensuring you never run out of power mid-event.
For those tackling multi-day races, self-supported ultras, or long-distance FKTs (Fastest Known Times), the Suunto Vertical is one of the longest-lasting GPS watches on the market. Even in high-performance mode, you’re getting nearly double the battery life of most competitors.
Having an accurate and reliable GPS is essential when navigating ultra events, long-distance trails, and extreme environments. The Suunto Vertical features best-in-class GPS performance with:
✅ Dual-frequency GPS for high-precision tracking, even in deep forests, mountains, and urban canyons
✅ All-satellite support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS) ensuring fast, stable, and reliable positioning
✅ Fast satellite acquisition so you can start your activity without waiting
Real-World Performance:
Tested on remote trails and multi-day hikes, the Suunto Vertical locks onto satellites quickly and maintains accuracy, even in areas where other GPS watches tend to drift. Whether you’re in a deep valley or high on an exposed ridge, the dual-band GPS ensures precise location tracking.
Unlike many GPS watches that require a phone connection for maps, the Suunto Vertical comes with fully functional offline maps—making it ideal for navigating remote trails and ultra-distance races.
For multi-day races like the Montane Spine or the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), these features are a game-changer—helping runners navigate unfamiliar routes with confidence.
Designed for harsh environments, the Suunto Vertical is built with military-grade durability:
Whether you’re battling wind, rain, snow, or heat, the Suunto Vertical is made to endure.
Suunto has equipped the Vertical with powerful training and recovery tools to help you optimize your performance.
By syncing with the Suunto App, you can analyze training trends, compare sessions, and plan optimal race strategies.
✅ Ultra runners & trail athletes looking for a high-endurance GPS watch with extreme battery life
✅ Adventurers & multi-day racers who need offline maps and precise tracking in remote areas
✅ Expedition athletes & self-supported racers who rely on solar charging for extra longevity
✅ Trail hikers & mountain explorers who want a rugged, no-compromise GPS watch
The Suunto Vertical is one of the most powerful GPS watches available today, offering unmatched battery life, premium navigation features, and rock-solid durability.
Whether you’re pushing your limits in an ultra-marathon, setting out on a multi-day trek, or racing against the elements, the Suunto Vertical delivers everything you need to stay on track and go further.

I bought the GPSMAP H1 online but picked it up from the Office in Northumberland as I was on holiday in the area a few days after I ordered it. I spoke with Jon, a really helpful and friendly guy. The staff at the office were good too. This device is really great. It came with some helpful documentation printed off by the shop. To get the best out of it use Garmin express and Garmin base map on either a Mac or a Windows computer. However, setting up your own courses on screen is fairly simple too. The preloaded maps are perfectly good, but if you want Ordnance survey maps there's a slot for an SD card. You can switch the touch screen off which is dead handy if you want to keep it in your pack or pocket whilst walking. The pictures I have attached show a course I did on screen. Also a bearing on the Humber Bridge. Apols for the quality but I needed three hands really. Overall I'm delighted. It's a complex thing so if you haven't had one before, take a couple of hours to mess about with it before going out and field test it on a walk you're familiar with.

Bought the H1 GPS with the additional 1.5 maps . Arrived all checked over with card installed and set up for me. Thanks guys. Delivery was fast , works great straight out the box and can’t fault the service. The H1 works great after familiarise myself around the menu options. Took it out with me, for a test on a local walk. After I’d loaded up a route into it from Garmin explore app. Works great, very impressed with the touch screen feature . Added a screen protector and silicon soft case, for some extra protection . 😊

I had a Montana before this which was good but this is much better in that it has buttons and it’s more compact. The service from Outdoor GPS is also worth a mention as they were outstanding.

My daily cycling routine involves 32km, and these Suunto Wing 2 have significantly improved my rides. I enjoy listening to music while staying aware of traffic. The lights are a fantastic feature for evening rides. They also perform well in strong winds. Overall, I love them.

Excellent service from start to finish. Very responsive to my questions and clearly knowledgeable about the product. They took the time to explain things properly rather than giving rushed answers, which gave me confidence in the purchase. Delivery was smooth and everything arrived exactly as described. Would definitely use them again.

First use today on a 58 cycle ride. Love it, much clearer screen then the 600 it has replaced. Map updates were a challenge as they were not visible after update. Had to uninstall and reinstall to fix the problem.

Replaced my Garmin 600 bike mount with this very similar 700 version. Should last a good 10 years like the last one.

Replaced Garmin Montana 700 series. Like the big screen but chunky and heavy.

Watch is superb with a great battery life. Watch was delivered quickly and arrived next securely wrapped and was at a very competitive price. Highly recommended !

I was not very happy with the detail of the 1:50k maps, so I upgraded to the 1:25k. Even though it is much more expensive I am very glad I did, as I am a bit "OCD" about detail. The detail of the 1:25k shows things as they actually would appear from the air, rather than just the vague blobs reproduced by the 1:50k. I suppose it depends on what you want and what you use the maps for - I like the better accuracy of the 1:25k which I feel is more trustworthy and gives me a better feel of where I am, and what I can expect to see both of my surroundings and on the ground.

I initially found this difficult to get to grips with, the problem being that I've been used to using a Dakota 20 for the last 10 years. However, now that I've had it outside and used it in anger, I must say its a big step up! I've spent some time setting it up as I want it (in some regard similar to the Dak20) but it's so customise- able, it just took time to work it out. Reading the manual was a big help!! I use Memory Map to upload my traces and the GPS 67 doesn't interface with it in the same that the Dakota did, which was a bit of a curve ball for me at first. It turns out though that the solution is just different not worse. All in all, now that I'm a bit more used to it I like it a lot. I'd have to say that I highly recommend this unit.

Great service - the Inreach mini 3 arrived really quickly. I’ve only managed to use it once but it was great and I was able to keep in touch with my partner while I was out hiking. Will keep on playing with it as I’m going to use it in Nepal 🇳🇵 in November.

Great service. Prompt delivery with regular updates. The product is perfect after some early mistakes (Garmin your instructions are poor and it’s 3rd party YouTube that gets you sorted) it’s ideal for my needs in the Scottish Borders on my own with my Falcons miles from Signal.

The Garmin 65s is a reliable workhorse of a GPS. I’ve used earlier models and I’m glad to say this one is still very robust and simple to use, once you’ve spent a bit of time playing around. It’s currently earning its keep in the far north of the Nordic region, in pretty wet and rugged conditions. The service from Outdoor GPS Shop was second to none. Highly recommended.
