Great watch for quality to price value! I really like the training and sports programs included. There are still a few minor software things I wished were different, e.g. being able to customize what you see where (especially when using the mirror function on the phone: it would be great to be able to see my power instant value on the navigation also, along with the speed, slope estimate and what not...). I would give it a 4.5, but since it is not possible, 5/5.

Coros is an awesome brand and they compete pound for pound with the best of them.This was an excellent investment and worth every penny. The battery life is ridiculously good and the GPS accuracy is on par with other brands.

I would have given 5 stars. However, I did not know that even using basic functions of the watch required setting up an account with COROS.

Utilizzo l'orologio da circa un anno e ne sono veramente soddisfatto. Tra i pregi la leggerezza, l'ottima leggibilità del quadrante, la presenza di tantissime funzioni configurabili in maniera molto semplice ed un'applicazione veramente completa.È inoltre facilmente collegabile alle più comuni app (tipo komoot e strava).Ottima autonomia e ricarica molto veloce.

Works better than my Garmin.

I gifted my dad my beloved garmin 6x sapphire a while ago and wanted a replacement for an upcoming trip to Asia. Upon looking for the 7x equivalent to my 6x I was shocked at the prices; upwards of 1000$. The 6x was even 300$ more expensive than it was 3 years ago when I bought it. That is when I started looking at the apex 2 pro. I downloaded the app on my phone prior to buying it and was sold. Its by far the best smartwatch app I've ever seen, especially regarding maps. I instantly bought the watch. I could download and upload the map of canada almost entirely in less than 5 minutes. Lightning fast connection for transfers is amazing, I proceded to upload a large part of Asia as well. Plus, you can easily map routes on the phone (you can see poi in the app like hotels, restaurants etc. ) and den them in a few minutes. The only time transfers are painfully slow is when you transfer mp3s from your computer which is only done rarely so I understand. The watch is gorgeous and I like it more than my previous garmin, especially the nylon bad which is so comfortable. The interface is relatively simple, the menus are well laid out and I can navigate easily. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars yet is because I only just got it yesterday but it seems like a banger.Pros: huge battery, maps, the app is amazing, it look gorgeous, it's light and comfortable, mp3s (im old), super legible in blazing sunlight, charges rapidly, Price is amazingly low compared to Garmin, Titanium and sapphire. Memory in pixel display is really power efficient.Cons: limited touchscreen options,No street names or trail names on watch (only on the app), mp3s only (some people might not like this limitation), somewhat low resolution display.So far I think this might be the best value for the money currently, better than the Suunto race I recently returned (does not look as good and the app is not the best) which is the exact same price as the Apex 2 pro.

Un rapport qualité/prix imbattable, une autonomie de fou (3 semaines en utilisation classique, 10-15 jours avec utilisation quotidienne du GPS 1/2h par jour et 3h de sortie VTT), une ergonomie incroyable, une application hyper bien foutue, et un SAV hyper réactif aux questions soumises.

YouTube Rez sind das eine... Irgendwelche 5Sterne von irgendwelchen Bots das andere..jedoch... wenn Du es auspackst... das Ding hat den Haptik einer Uhr aus einem Kaugummiautomaten.Egal wir toll die App ist.. man sieht das Ding billig aus und fühlt sich genau so an.. wen es nicht stört .. OK

I was so tired of constantly charging my other brand watch. This one has lots of functions and the battery lasts and lasts.

GPS is perfectBattery is perfectNot all the fancy data of the garmin fenix, but has everything you really needHighly recommend !

I switched from Garmin to Coros because I needed longer battery life but didn't want to spend $700-800. I started out with Coros Apex 2 ($400). I ran 150 miles with this watch. Battery life was very good - I ran 50 miles in 11 hours and it had over 60% battery life left - this includes using training plan that alerts every at two miles (to run); then 1/2 mile (to walk). I was quite pleased.However I have a 100 mile event coming up and I DO NOT want to have to worry with charging my battery during event (it's a point to point so no convenience of laps).I returned my Apex 2 to Amazon (so thankful I had 30 days) and purchased Apex 2 PRO ($500). Battery life is almost double. I LOVE IT. Battery life is amazing. Ran/walked 20 miles two days ago (4 hours) with same alerts I used in 50 miler and it used less than 10% - it wasn't on 100% when i started, so not entirely sure, but it was at 89% when I finished. I'm not going to worry with putting my charged in my 50 or 70 mile drop bags at race! VERY HAPPY!!I also plan to use for swimming and backpacking - but haven't done so yet.My only "complaint" with Coros is when using a downloaded training run plan and you reach your distance - it automatically stops and you have to hit "resume" to continue. Strange. I ran a mile before realizing this two weeks ago - which was a bit frustrating. Other than that - i'm loving my watch.

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.
