The Full Story

The Apex 2 packs a titanium bezel, sapphire glass, dual-frequency GPS, and 40 hours of GPS battery life into a lighter, cheaper package than Coros's Vertix line. Superseded by the Apex 4, but the core training tools still hold up for the price.

Same titanium-and-sapphire build as the Apex 2, but with 66 hours of GPS battery life, offline maps, WiFi, and 32GB of storage. Coros pitched it as a smaller, cheaper Vertix 2, and most of that positioning still holds even with the Apex 4 now above it.

*Estimated — this model's exact GPS battery life isn't published by the manufacturer. All figures are standard GPS mode, midsize case, no solar boost.

†Estimated — this model launched too recently to have an established customer rating yet.
