Suunto Vertical 2 Straps, Cases, & Screen Protectors

How to choose the right strap for your Suunto Vertical 2

As the Suunto Vertical 2 is a large and robust watch worn around the clock – from high-intensity training to recovery phases – fit and materials are crucial for both comfort and accurate measurements.

• If you’re putting your watch through its paces in wet and muddy conditions: We recommend a durable sports strap made from high-quality silicone or elastomer. These materials are completely resistant to water, dirt and sweat. They are also easy to rinse off after a tough mountain bike session or swim, and keep the watch securely in place so that the heart rate sensor can measure undisturbed.
• If you go on multi-day hikes or sleep with the watch on: Then a woven nylon strap or fabric strap with a stepless Velcro fastening is by far the best choice. Nylon is extremely lightweight and wicks away moisture effectively, reducing the risk of chafing during long stages with a rucksack. Its soft profile also makes it by far the most comfortable option when tracking your sleep and recovery.
• If you want to adapt the watch for the office or everyday life: A stylish metal strap or a classic leather strap instantly transforms your outdoor gear into an elegant accessory. Link straps in brushed steel or a titanium finish highlight the watch’s premium case and pair perfectly with a suit jacket or a more smart-casual everyday look.

Maximum protection with screen protectors and cases

The fantastic, updated display on the Suunto Vertical 2 makes navigation a joy, but the large glass surface is also vulnerable when you’re moving among rocks and undergrowth. A thin, tempered screen protector takes the brunt of any impact should an accident occur, without compromising the display’s sharpness. Feel free to complement this with a flexible TPU case that hugs the body to prevent unsightly scratches and knocks to the edges whilst climbing.

Frequently asked questions about Suunto Vertical 2 accessories

Is it difficult to change the strap on the Suunto Vertical 2?

No, it only takes a few seconds. The watch uses handy quick-release pins that allow you to easily detach and attach new straps without any tools. This means you can quickly switch from a sweaty silicone strap after the gym to a stylish leather strap for the evening.

Which strap is best for extreme cold and winter sports?

For alpine skiing, ice climbing or cold winter hikes, we recommend nylon straps. Unlike metal, which quickly becomes freezing cold against the skin, nylon maintains a neutral temperature. Furthermore, many nylon straps are long and flexible enough to be fastened over a base layer top or a thinner glove.

Does a screen protector reduce the screen’s brightness or affect the touch function?

Our tempered glass screen protectors are designed with high optical transparency. They do not affect the superb brightness or colours of the watch’s display. Touch sensitivity remains the same, so you can still smoothly swipe through your widgets and maps just as usual, even when wearing thin gloves.
