- •You're training for multi-day, ultra-distance efforts specifically
- •Max-tier analytics and extreme battery life are worth the premium
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 Superseded by the Apex 4, but the core training tools still hold up for the price.
The Vertix 2S is aimed at ultrarunners and expedition athletes who need battery life measured in weeks, not days. It's showing its age against newer competitors, but the core training and navigation tools remain rock solid.
*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.
