Love it -
1st Coros watch and not disappointed. Great battery and charges in no time at all. Completed 1st run using a saved map, never needed the map as race was signposted but alarm if I went "astray" was handy. Lots of stats (more than I'll likely need) and easy app to use. lots of good features. it's not the most expensive or gadget focused but it's a good fitness watch with good battery and the most comfy strap (sometimes forget I'm.wearing it). No issues so if you fancy a change then why not try a Coros.

The best watch I’ve had (running)
Since I started running I wanted a watch with a good battery. I do hiking, running and trail running. My previous Garmin watches lasted max 6-7h (if lucky), with Apex 2 I just did 12h trail running on Saturday and my battery dropped only to 76%. With everyday running 7km from work and on the weekend long runs (20-35km) or hikes (30-40km) I need to charge it only once a week :) I love it!

suits a slim wrist just fine
The body of the watch is a nice and simple style. The buttons aren't bulky but help it to conform to a traditional watch appearance. It is very light and low profile.My only complaint is the strap is exceptionally ugly in contrast to the watch face, see pics. It has "#ExplorePerfection" written across the webbing in great big white letters. 🤮

Coros poor support and reliabily

Inaccurate step count
I really tried to like this watch but step counter was not accurate. Which for such an expensive watch was rather frustrating. I compared step count to my fitbit sense and generally the apex pro recorded 50% less. Coros customer service told me that the step counter only starts counting after a continuous 40steps. I found this to be closer to 200 steps or more. So when working from home, getting up and down for coffee etc, no steps got registered.I get that the apex pro is focused on exercise activities but if you can't get the basics right...For those interested in battery life, I found battery lasts about 12 days, when HR is being continuously monitored.

Amazing
J'adore 👍Reçue en deux jours (me disait plus d'une semaine)On peut planifier notre plan d'entraînement sur l'application ou en télécharger sur le site Coros et l'envoyer à la montre. On peut même planifier/créer des itinéraires de la même façon.On peut télécharger des fichiers MP3 de musique et connecter nos écouteurs directement à la montre. 🎶La vie de la batterie est super longue.Matériaux super résistants (pas faite de plastique comme plusieurs autres montres).Je recommande :)

Bueno para el deporte
Es un buen dispositivo, independientemente de la versiĂłn Kilian muy bueno en el aspecto deportivo, de larga duraciĂłn la baterĂa, sin embargo, pĂ©simo para mostrarte las notificaciones que llegan de tu celular, y la pantalla no es tan resistente, en mi caso lo uso para ir al gym, correr y nadar y ya tiene rayones la pantalla a sus 3 meses de uso

It's a winner for the right wrist
BLUF: This is an excellent watch at a lower price than the competition without any noteworthy compromises.CONTEXTI'm coming to Coros after about a decade as a dedicated Garmin person. The two things that drew me to Coros are cost and battery life. I'm upgrading because I want a longer battery, maps, and a more durable screen.My most recent Garmin was a Fenix 6. That watch has a 16-day battery life. My prior Garmin Fenix 3 had a 4-6 weeks battery life. Having to charge every couple of weeks was always a surprisingly frustrating experience after I upgraded to the Fenix 6. It was never not annoying.BATTERY LIFEI haven't tested the Coros' battery life to its limits, but the reviews and my experience with the Coros Vertix 2 make me fully confident that the Apex 2 Pro will hit the projected 30 days. This means that it has roughly *twice* the battery life of the direct counterpart Fenix 7. That's significant! The internet tells me that part of the battery savings comes from Coros' approach of checking your heart rate every 10 minutes while Garmin checks constantly. Two things to keep in mind with this are that (a) you can adjust a setting in the Coros to get constant HR checking at the expense of some battery life, and (b) the watch switches to constant HR checking as soon as you start an activity. I'll happily give up granular non-activity HR checking for double the battery life.COSTThe Apex 2 Pro comes in at $500. The equivalent Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar comes in at $900. That's a massive delta in price. One thing that has bothered me about many of the reviews I read about the Apex 2 Pro was that reviewers compared the 2 Pro to the $500 Garmin 955. Where this falls down for me is that the 955 has a full plastic case and a Gorilla Glass screen. With their metal faces and sapphire screens, the 2 Pro and the Fenix 7 are significantly more robust than the 955. This is important for many purchasers who are using these watches in the mountains, on job sites, and in other settings where durability is key.USER INTERFACEI was convinced that I would hate having to navigate the watch by twisting the crown. Surprisingly, I got used to this after about two weeks. (FYI - most of my time with a Coros has been with the Vertix 2) Now, the thought of returning to Garmin’s many buttons seems overly complicated. I’ve used Vertix 2 in snowy mountains with thick-ish gloves on and didn’t have any issues. During activities, you can cycle through screens with either the touchscreen or the crown. I’ve turned off the touchscreen during my activities solely because I kept accidentally moving through screens when sweaty towels swiped the screen while riding my trainer indoors.SCREENSome online reviews indicated that the Apex 2 Pro’s sapphire screen is slightly clearer and less reflective than the Vertix 2’s sapphire screen. I didn’t find that to be the case. In fact, I think the Vertix 2’s screen is ever so slightly clearer than the 2 Pro’s, but this is only something you’d notice when comparing the two watches side-by-side with indoor lighting.WHY I’M *NOT* KEEPING THIS WATCHAfter all that praise, you may be surprised to learn that I’m returning this watch to buy a Vertix 2. If the decision was only between the Fenix 7 and the Apex 2 Pro, I’d be keeping it. But I’ve been borrowing a Vertix 2 for a while now and the Vertix 2 wins out over the 2 Pro in a few areas. First, it has a two months battery life which is absolutely staggering. That’s a quality of life feature that I can’t give up now that I've had it. Second, I prefer how the Vertix 2 fits on my wrist. At 6’3” and over 200 lbs, I’m not a small person. I think the Apex 2 Pro will fit better for most people. Third, I prefer how the Vertix 2 looks. As vain as this is, the Vertix 2 is more rugged whereas the 2 Pro has a sleeker look. If I was still working in offices and wearing suits, I’d almost certainly go with the 2 Pro for its more professional appearance and its ability to more easily fit under tight sleeves.
