Coros Apex Pro

In a short period, Coros GPSHeart Rate Monitors & Sports Watches have landed in the segment of electronics for athletes with great force. They have a short history, but their training devices are already positioned in the ranking of the most demanded watches for athletes. On this occasion, the launch of the Coros Apex Pro arrives with the label of being a premium multisport watch for outdoor sports activities, enjoying libre sports practice.

Although Coros still does not have the great media power of other brands in the segment in Europe, its best endorsement is that it has as one of its main ambassadors the great Eliud Kipchoge, current record holder and Olympic marathon champion. In the case of this GPS sports watch, Coros Apex Pro has been tested by mountain runners, and adapts to each of their adventures with high-end features such as: the sapphire crystal display, lightness, titanium frame and water resistance to make it a perfect ally for any type of training. It stands out for its maximum durability.

As with the Coros Pace 2 and Coros Vertix 2 models, this new Axpe Pro combines advanced technology with an efficient and intuitive user experience, because it has been designed, tested and perfected by and for the high-performance athlete. Highly versatile multisport option with varied sport profiles: running; treadmill, trail running; trekking; walking; cycling (outdoor and indoor); triathlon; swimming in pool and open water; skiing (cross-country and cross-country), snowboarding, and even cardio training (aerobic exercises).

Strengths and highlights of the Coros Axpe Pro

Having made the introduction, we will now detail the most important points of this new Coros Apex Pro:

Autonomy and battery life

As with any outdoor watch, one of the main features of this Coros Apex Pro model is the battery life, which is able to increase its duration by up to 14% compared to the original version of the APEX.

• Up to 30 days as standard watch use.
• Up to40 hours with GPS in full active mode.
• Up to100 hours in UltraMax mode, saving mode but implying lower GPS accuracy.

Navigation system and sensors

As far as satellite navigation systems are concerned, this Coros Apex Pro offers great accuracy, thanks to the fact that it brings with it GPS/QZSS, GLONASS and BeiDou systems. But not only that, because this multisport GPS watch also includes different sensors: heart rate recording from the wrist, pulse oximetry (SpO2), barometric altimeter, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope and thermometer.

All this designed to maximize their performance when we talk about living a whole adventure intensely, and having all the parameters under control and recorded at all times.

Design and functionality

It is obvious that the quality of this Coros Apex Pro is superior, and favors a maximized use of the watch in each phase of training. Its design features a sapphire crystal dial and titanium bezel, which ensures its degree of robustness and resistance to adapt to any extreme conditions (temperature from -10°C to 60°C), and is also water resistant to 100 meters.

For its part, the innovative Knob digital crown is very practical, because it can be rotated with a single finger. While its touch screen gives you convenience and comfort for some functions, as well as to consult the metrics and results obtained from each of your workouts.

In addition, theintelligent Stride algorithm makes it possible to record precise parameters of your stride, even in areas where there is poor coverage.

What new features does the Coros Apex Pro have?

Compared to the two versions available to date, Coros Apex vs Coros Apex Pro, Coros Apex Pro incorporates features that are so outstanding that they will push you to make that quantitative and qualitative leap in your multisport training.

Compatible with COROS POD

It is true that all high-endHeart Rate Monitors & Sports Watches already practically include the specific function of measuring power and running efficiency. This Coros Apex Pro is no slouch either, because it does allow this measurement, but with fine print, because you need the COROS POD sensor to take your training to the next level: vertical oscillation, stride length, contact time, and even stride ratio, among others.

Altitude mode: mountain guidance on your wrist

This Apex Pro joins the successful Vertix line as the only Coros training devices to integrate the unique Altitude Mode. A feature that offers 24/7 blood oxygen monitoring, and also provides hourly acclimatization assessments. This way you will know when you should continue ascending; or on the contrary, when it is necessary to lower your altitude. It is able to adapt your physical condition to the roadmap to follow.

Night mode: maximum visibility

A function as unique as it is practical, because by keeping the night mode active you will have a permanent backlight for the entire duration of your training. What's more, the light allows your eyes to adapt to the darkness to read the data without any problem, and this without affecting battery performance. It shuts off automatically, and there's also the possibility of a manual option for that backlight to come on in quick bursts. What crazy, daring ultra-distance adventure are you planning to take on when the sun lays down to rest?

Getting into action with the Coros Apex Pro, training mode

With all these features explained about the Coros Apex Pro GPS sports watch, it's time to get down to action. In this regard, the device includes an innovative algorithm with the idea of facilitating the different phases of training (warm-up, main and recovery). In fact, by recording heart rate and intensity of effort, this Apex Pro provides personalized training plans with advice tailored to your own needs as an athlete.

Through the COROS app, and linked to the device, you will have access to comprehensive progress tracking, as well as more information, about your current fitness level. Of course you can also create, share and download on-demand workouts, validated by qualified coaches and professional athletes.

Compatible with external applications such as Strava and TrainingPeaks, so you can take on new challenges and stay active in the important community of athletes.

Thus the new Coros Apex Pro, an evolved version of the original Coros Apex version that allows it to compete with top-of-the-line watches such as the Garmin Fenix 6, Suunto 9 Baro and Polar Vantage V2, among other premium multisport training devices.
