Suunto 9 Peak Pro
Score: 87/100
Garmin vívoactive 5 Ivory
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Suunto 9 Peak Pro is a thin, rugged multisport watch with exceptional battery endurance and precise GPS. Its optical HR sensor may lag in intense workouts and the bezel limits screen real-estate. Ideal for athletes who value long battery life over a larger display.
The Garmin vívoactive 5 offers an AMOLED touchscreen, extensive sport and health tracking features, and an impressive 11-day battery life, making it a versatile fitness companion. It lacks premium health sensors such as ECG and has limited media functionality. Best for active users who value long battery life and a rich suite of sport apps without needing advanced medical-grade sensors.
