Built to endure
When you're in the thick of it, you need equipment you can trust without hesitation. The Suunto Vertical 2 shrugs off scrapes and scratches during rocky ascents, and forges confidently in downpours thanks to water resistance down to 100m. Easily navigate in low and bright light with the larger, brighter AMOLED display, while the interface is easily operable — without removing your gloves — at the push of a button. This is your adventure watch to get out there, no matter the weather or environment.
