APEX Pro

i was very disappointed with the enduro 3. sold it and back to my apex pro. the garmin apps with an s (you need like 5) were terrible. Climbpro never worked right. the mapping and battery life were great which is what i needed at PTL.

the question is really ‘are the sensors better?’ than prior or other current models. Holding out for a new Vertix or similar level replacement. As I noted the Garmin Enduro 3 was disappointing. I have loved my coros apex pro for years and love the app (simple and effective) and all the history I have on it. Need long battery and confidence in the sensors. Every sensor system I have had (Enduro 3/Apex Pro/Whoop) conflicts…

The battery life is not what it seems. Think atleast 20-30%less than advertised if you use any function in that watch, including HR, backlight, any of their programs to ‘help’ you run better. They all make your battery go to the wayside. Had mine apex pro die at 27hrs(40hr is the advert). Best they could tell me was to calibrate my battery(too late for that) and to not use any functions on the watch…cuz fuck me.

I have both - Fenix 7pro and AWU1. Have a Coros Apex Pro too if that matters. The Coros stays in a desk drawer. The Fenix I use for running workouts (it’s paired with Stryd pod). Strength workouts and everything else - AWU for the win. I can do without the Fenix, but like the way it displays the running info 🤷🏻‍♂️ If I had to give up the Garmin or it died, it wouldn’t bother me.

I have a Pace 4 and it's also exactly what I need. The newest version is better than the older Apex Pros by a lot.

I love my old Apex Pro, and when I upgrade I will stick with Coros. Can’t beat the price point or the battery life. And when they have updates, they push to the watch. No need to upgrade your watch to get new features (unless the watch is outdated and can’t support them).
