COROS - Apex 2 Series

Garmin and Coros are the top of the industry for heart rate and fitness watches. Frankly Apple Watches aren’t even comparable. That being said there has been some research that shows heart rate wrist monitors on these watches aren’t accurate all the time. The new ones with the latest technology seem to be pretty damn accurate in my experience. If you’re interested in heart rate training I highly suggest a garmin or coros and then pair it with a chest monitor. You can get a chest monitor and pair it to your watch for like $75-150 bucks but like the watch it should last years. Smart watches are not BIFL IMO

I went from Pixel Watch 2 to Apex 2 Pr. You give up assistant is the big thing but get battery life in return which is way better because I only have to charge one or twice a month vs every day so I was rarely tracking my sleep because I had to charge every night.

I love the Coros Apex 2. Originally had the first edition and then upgraded. Great watch with awesome battery life, and the mobile app is solid.

Yeah I run 50-60 mpw mostly on trail and I charge my 2-year-old Coros Apex 2 like once a week maybe? Every 10 days or so

Great watch for running! I have the Apex 2 and it’s great for everything; my only complaint is that in all systems on activity mode it only lasts about 25 hours. Not quite enough to finish a mountain 100M unless you’re really fast. The Apex 4 would definitely cover that, though.

Fenix 6X Pro. Bought a used one in good condition from FB marketplace a few months ago and super happy I did. Switched from the Coros Apex.

I love my Coros as a navigation tool.  My phone very rarely comes out for navigation now.

Coros Apex 2 has been my go-to for a while. Great battery life and a ton of other features. I'm not a fan of Garmin after some bad experiences with them in my cycling days, no complaints about Coros really.

Coros Apex 2. Great battery life, loads of good features.

This is not the point. It was mentioned here that coros does "no Feature lock" if the hardware can support the feature. And this is not true. Touring mode is another example. Bouldering as well. And yes some people want to do touring or bouldering with a pace, why not!? But again the point is that Coros is doing feature lock. Personally I do not miss the fishing mode on my Apex.

This. I have the Apex 2 and it is awesome. Had it for a year and I still don’t know the ins and outs of it. Probably the best purchase I’ve made in years.

My Coros watch has amazing battery life. I went on vacation for 10 days and knew I'd be fine not charging it.
