Over 8 hours of sleep Des! Way to get it done. 👏 Great review as always! 🙌

As usual- another quality review, Des! All the important questions answered, but still concise and snappy! For my use, the new features aren’t worth the upgrade from the Pace 2, although the HRV functions are appealing. Thanks!

I love that Coros is stepping in the right direction, but I am kinda put off by the price of the Apex 2. I was hoping for it to be $350 especially since it doesn't have Multiband GPS but I understand why it's $400

I fear nothing, but that bezel... it scares me

Coming in clutch once again. Let’s go des 🙏🏾🚲 🏃‍♂️

Nice, bro. Thanks for that great review 😊 Looks like it really makes sense for me to switch from Fenix 6 Sapphire to Apex 2 pro

Thanks great review as always!

Thanks Des, Enjoyed your review. I am an Apex Pro and Vertix user. I would be interested in knowing how the Apex 2 Pro GPS accuracy compares to the original Apex Pro. That sort of determines whether I upgrade. I use a Polar HR strap since my Apex Pro wrist HR is mostly crap. But I have found the Apex Pro GPS accuracy to be pretty darn good in Oregon. So I would be curious to see if the new chips set is better. All the best.

I am still awaiting Your Suunto 9 Peak Pro review, is it not coming? And plz no more Apple Ultra reviews. Thank for a Good Channel 😊

Hi Des. Is there a phone music control feature on either? Not onboard offline music, not Spotify app, just pure "pause play skip volume" remote for the phone.

Great video! I have a question: Coros Apex 2 VS Garmin Venu 3? Im looking at both of these and cant decide! Which one of these two have better heart rate accuracy and better GPS? Does the Venu 3 even have maps at all?? Any feedback would be really appricated!

How is the new screen with the fonts and the sapphire glass? I have the pace 2 and it’s very easy to see. I found the original apex pro to be a bit hard to read in certain conditions. Is that Apex pro 2 screen better and easier to read vs the Original apex pro?

I'm 50 and my eyes are needing the readers. Is the screen without the backlight on the new apex any brighter than the old apex without backlight?

Dommage que l'on n'ai pas le choix d'avoir un écran saphyr. Je n'aime pas, je ne vois rien. J'aurais préféré avoir un écran classique et mettre un film protecteur. Car qui fait du "tout terrain" avec sa montre ? Je soupconne une manière de commercialiser plus cher car écran saphyr. Sinon j'utilise Coros Apex pro au quotidien, j'ai délaissé Garmin. Ma montre est la seule à capter aussi rapidement le signal GPS et j'adore leur plateforme

nice explanation bro. but can you help me to choose between garmin instinct 2 solar or coros apex 2, most of my activities are hiking, bikepacking and bike touring. what I'm looking for is solid hardware and software, GPS accuracy and battery life. one side garmin offers solar power and power manager but don't like the screen and coros has ok hardware but one side on the software side there is something lacking in my opinion

The bezels of modern smart watches seem to become bigger and bigger.

In between coros pace 3 or apex 2 (not the pro). What should i get? Im a runner and love durability and accuracy @DesFit

Thanks for the detailed, perfect review 👍 I am trying to decide a watch for open water swimming + runing. Coros Apex 2 Pro and Garmin 955 are in my short list. Which do you recommend ? Or another one with similar functionality ? Thanks in advance 🙋🏻‍♂️

I'm an avid mountain hikers and looking for the best GPS offline + navigations watch with worth money values. Sometimes i hike in rainy season, bad weather and windy conditions too... can you recommend with brand is the best so far? ...

I’m still wondering how the music storage works

How was the real time pace on both watch? Does it still has 10secs delay (w/o POD2)?

should I buy the apex 2 or get the old apex pro at a discount. From the review besides the new heart rate sensor and music i cannot seem to find any significant upgrade. My concern remains whether the apex pro will get outdated with no software updates . What do you advice.

Des.. when can I buy this in Belgium?

coros pace 3 will follow? with better heart rate sensor maybe?

The bezel on the "base" model looks rather unattractive. I kind of prefered the first gen models. Glad I got a Forerunner 255 in August though. That one is made of plastic, but does pretty much the same as these two, looks better (in my view), and for less.

Fantastic having a review already! In your honest opinion, do you think the regular Apex is worth it vs the FR955? I love the metal build and smaller size/weight, but I'm torn because although I love my Pace 2, it's hard to argue that Garmin has a more complete ecosystem, especially as an Edge owner as well and the latest Garmin's have fixed the battery life issues I had with my older Fenix 5 and old FR's.

Hi, hope you can help me with my question please - I'm using 955 and last 2w started to train cycling, why I can't see VO2 max for that, only for running? Thanks in advnace.

Hello! I'm in between the Garmin Instinct Solar 2, the new Coros Apex 2 and the Coros Apex Pro. The cheaper one in my area is the Instinct. I want the watch for hiking, trail running, occasionally city running, pool swimming and "tourist walking." Would you give me your opinion, please?

what software or app do you use in comparing HR?

In watch mode, HR measures every 1 second or every 10 minutes?

do coros watches have power meter build in?

Can apex 2 pro cable fit into apex pro?

Hey I can't find multi pitch or ski videos in the description. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qd2IesmFvN25l58.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5-bqMafxNzJlZ8.html Also, they don't have specific tenis mode right? Many thanks!

5 atm is really poor, shame

Waaaay to expensive

No ANT+ no buy :(
