Coros Apex smartwatch
Description: Finding the right smartwatch that works for all your sports can be daunting. In a crowded field of products filled with technical options, it’s easy to get bogged down with what features you need. But one crucial factor that’s easy to understand is battery life, and the Coros Apex is breaking away from the pack with its impressive performance that will more than cover the training regimen of any ultrarunner, triathlete or mountaineer.
The Apex (available in 46 mm and 42 mm sizes) can run up to 100 hours on a single charge while using GPS. With regular usage (without GPS), it will last up to a full month. That’s not to say the Apex is a one-trick pony. The stylish watch is especially helpful for those who like to head off-road, with a navigation feature in which you can upload routes and display them on a grid to help you find your way. Trail runners will appreciate the Intelligent Stride Algorithm, which measures your stride while using GPS so that it can still track your distance in areas with weak signals. Track your training with other algorithms that measure lactate threshold, VO2 Max and heart rate, and you can create and share workouts from both professional athletes and coaches in a variety of disciplines. The colorful display is big, beautiful, and easy to read — plus, it’s easy to navigate during a workout.
For anyone with athletic pursuits that take them off the grid or on endless endurance challenges, the Apex should be near the top of your smartwatch wish list.
