@@foetor i dont know if you are looking at the right direction here. These kind of watches are made for a different purpose. Maybe in the future they will add some more features, but that is not the case. At the moment there are better watches in the market that provide cellular fanctionality. Personally i prefer that they keep the watch simple only for what is made for.

I have a cellular Apple Watch and I turned Cell off a long time ago and only turn it on if I get stuck with a dead phone. It is such a battery drain when in low signal areas.
Great video Dave, I have the Vertix2 and I was excited when I opened the email from Coros. But when I looked at the specs I was disappointed. Colors are nice but on the specs sheet battery life is better on my old Vertix2. I understand they updated some inner things, gps and heart rate sensor but same display was a big let down. Thanks for your work and the videos. Sticking with the old Vertix2 for now.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for your reviews :)
I currently have the pace 3 which exceeds my needs in terms of watches. i love the updates that coros have been bringing to their entire product stack
Great review as always, thanks Dave.
Nice review, Dave, and glad they sent you all three. I like the Earth model the best...
Il y a plusieurs vidéos qui sortent en même temps sur les nouveautés, mais c'est toujours les tiennes que je regarde 👍
Thanks for the presentation of this new Coros watch, nice video again. To answer your question, I am gonna keep my garmin fenix 6 pro so far 😉
I have a Pace 2 and 3 years later it is still rock solid making it really hard to justify any new watch. Even though the tech junkie in me has fomo and would love this watch.

Great review Dave,big improvements with heart monitoring,Coros is listening to it's sports fan's
Bought an Apex Pro a few years ago and have loved it dearly. Really wanted to move in the Vertix line, but didnt want to purchase a 2 with the thoughts of a new model on its way. Definitely considering this model, looks gorgeous too.
Another great review. Thanks Dave. Good looking watch but my next watch will probably be a AWU 3, to try a more useful day to day smartwatch. I’ve had 4 years out of my fenix 6x pro, and it’s still going, so I’m hanging on for September.
I’m getting one!🎉 My original apex pro is just getting too old. So what better time to upgrade.
If it's the same size as the Vertix 2 then I very much fear I'll have to take a pass. I'm a small-wristed female and I can just about get away with the Vertix 1, but when I first looked at the specs of the Vertix 2 it seemed like it was wider across than my wrist, so I rather doubt I could wear it comfortably. It's a pity, because if the size were right I'd probably be very tempted to upgrade even though I still love my Vertix 1. Kudos to Coros, BTW, for still sending all the updates to models as old as the original Vertix! Makes me feel less left out of the fancy new hardware. :)
Thank you for reviewing these watches! I really like those colors. I would take the moon version. MIP display is still good enough imo. But as you mentioned the competition is tough. Even a Garmin 7X (non pro) has more functionality at a lower price point when being in sale. Nowadays flashlight should be a must with these kind of watches!
Ooooo new COROS 😮
Still rocking the Fénix 6 Pro
Great review, and love the shirt! So impressed by the new, extensive line up of shirts!
Garmin Fenix 6x still going strong so no need to upgrade yet but Coros is the plan when he time comes. Maybe when the fully new vertix 3 comes out
It looks like that the Garmin Fenix 6s seens to be your choice to go! Not hard to understand why. Cheers!
Thank you for all your reviews! I can’t choose between my Garmin epix pro and my garmin instinct 2x solar tactical. I see that you have a lot of smartwatches. How do you manage them? How they can coesist in daily life?
@ChaseTheSummit
22 күн бұрын
It's easy with Garmin since they use something called "TrueUp" to sync data between watches. So you can have multiple garmins and choose which to wear every day and the data will seamlessly merge with the other watches without an issue. It only becomes an issue with other brands though COROS is pretty good with this as well.

Yup, these watchfaces will also be available in the COROS app watchface library. So if you want a "moon" background on a Pace 3 for example you can do that.

Similar, the Tactix might have a slight advantage in terms of backlight brightness and contrast. The Vertix 2S backlight isn’t adjustable it’s set and can’t be dimmed or brightened in the settings.

@@ChaseTheSummit Thanks and appreciate Dave! The vertix 2 is simple difficult to read too dim, if vertix 2s same brightness is no good. Tactic’s brightness is great.
I'll wait for something lighter, like updated Apex 3 Pro (2S?) and a Coros bike computer for sure. BTW, I cannot say Garmin is more polished. As a software engineer, I see Garmin platform very buggy and they don't care.
I bought the apex 2 pro a month ago or so and have a lot of pairing issues. I have to either remove the coros app from my phone or turn off my iPhone 15 to pair it again since the bluetooth connection won’t work. It constantly says that I need to either turn off the watch, the phone, bluetooth and keep the devices close to each other, even if they are side by side with no space in between. Super irritating. Considering to return it, which is a petty really 😐
Should have poped on an Amoled screen and called it vertix3 :) great review as always!
Dave, excellent as always. Coros's software is just lackluster. I like the minimal UI, but... many of the watch software features lack maturity (polish).
A big plus for Coros is that they do not have to endure the horrible look of the new Garmin app. ^^

I think Pace 3 is the best sports watch deal on the market. It has everything you need and getting better with updates.
Isn’t Coros the one with a new way to use your iPhone during a workout? If they offered this watch in an AMOLED variant I’d be tempted to jump ship from the EPIX Garmin.
Was really hoping it was 2S for small
Hahaha darn. I was hoping the S was for small!
How do you think this watch compares to the polar grid x2 that recently came out?
@ChaseTheSummit
6 күн бұрын
They have a lot in common. The most notable differences are the display types... One being AMOLED on the Polar and the COROS being MIP and the other being battery life while COROS has significantly longer battery life in both standby and activity modes. The Polar ecosystem has a bit more to offer in terms of daily wellness while COROS focuses more on being a tool to track activities and training.

Good watch and upgrade but nothing that is a killer on the market. I wasn't planning to change my Apex 2 Pro anyway so no change on this point. I hope however that the original Vertix 2 will get a discount so that people looking for a watch might consider it. This release may also mean that the version 3 of Apex and Vertix are not around the corner yet at all (maybe in 2025 ?). Thank you for that product review !
