For as much tech baked into each watch face, however, inaccuracies still happen, which is why some opt to forgo the digital readings and run without their support. Coros, makers of our favorite watch for trail running, is aiming to have you rethink your workout wearables with the release of the all-new Apex 2 and Apex 2 Pro. Boasting state-of-the-art sensors, key upgrades to the battery and more, these GPS outdoor watches are sure to shore up any preconceived notions about training with a running watch.
“We know that this is the most anticipated product launch in the history of Coros, but we are confident that it was worth the wait,” says Coros Wearables CEO Lewis Wu. “Our development team worked diligently to find the best hardware and corresponding design to offer our users the greatest possible accuracy in these new watches.”
What’s new about the Apex 2 and Apex 2 Pro?
The latest wearables from Coros are reiterations of the brand’s popular Apex lineup, but with key upgrades to help improve your training and data recording. One of the largest upgrades is seen in the new optical heart rate sensor that allows for 24/7 monitoring and unmatched accuracy. This can be great for aerobic workouts as you fine-tune your pace and breaths to reach optimal performance.
Coros also upgraded the battery life of the Apex 2 and Apex 2 Pro immensely when compared to the original Apex lineup . You can now operate in the standard full GPS mode for up to 45 hours with the Apex 2, and a staggering 75 hours with the Apex 2 Pro.
