COROS VERTIX 2S Adventure GPS Watch, 40 Days Battery Life, GPS Navigation with Global Offline Maps, Route Planner, Heart Rate Monitor, Rock Climbing, Skiing, Running, Biking - Earth Blue

Vertex 2s holds up as the workhorse for my weekly average 125 mile cycling and 20 to 25 mile runs. Battery will last me up to 19 days without a charge in this environment and consistent wear on left wrist. Heart Rate, HRV, & Resting Heart Rate report can be breaken down by; weekly, monthly, year and provided to my doctor who likes this information. Customized your own watchfaces, see picture above, that includes workout screens and customized navigational maps for every turn by turn in completing that extra mile for training. Music is easily added from my extensive album/CD collection that has been converted to MP3 via Auidacity or my Amazon MP3 purchases. Only negative feedback I have to Coros is to drown the watch weight from 70 grams to 60 grams.

Durable!

Love the watch, all of it's features, and above all THE BATTERY LIFE is insane. I can go backpacking for days and days and days, and not have to worry about recharging even when tracking my route constantly. My one problem and reason for 4 stars is that the charging method is terrible. The port gets dirty, the charger gets dirty, and then the watch won't charge. I tried everything and have had massive frustration with this, spending hours just trying to get my watch to charge. THE FIX MAYBE, is to clean the charging port and the charger head with a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol, and then to buy a little plastic cover for the port on the watch so that it prevents your sweat from getting in there. That has so far been the ONLY way I've gotten it to charge again without issue. I wish I knew about this when I first got a coros watch 2 or 3 years ago as it has been quite the struggle. So I hope they change the way this charges in the future, a different design would be great. Otherwise love the watch and use it for every ride, run, hike, whatever. Was never a watch person before, and now would be very sad if I didn't have this with me as I love to see all the data.

It's an excellent choice if you prioritize adventure GPS watch features over smartphone capabilities. The Coros Vertix 2S boasts superior build quality compared to Garmin or Apple watches and offers the longest battery life among its competitors. I'm really impressed!

They keep doing updates but the updates keep making interactions with the watch especially during training complicated and frustrating. Strength tracking is terrible, i found a piece of paper is so much better than an $800 stopwatch. Battery life is decent but so are other brands now. Their gps used to be top notch but now after getting worse and worse with each update it takes forever to get a signal and a shady tree will cause loss of signal (i have tried the highest to the lowest setting). I'm admitting defeat and going with an actual established product from Garmin instead of being a guinea pig for a start up.

If you want a watch to function primarily as a fitness tracker and are not too concerned with the ability to respond to messages, sync with your calendar, control your music, or display weather information on the watch face, then the Vertex 2S is a good bet. It is very comfortable by any standards, not just for big watches. The maps and navigation are intuitive and extremely fun to play with on a hike. I prefer the MIP display over AMOLED because it is detailed enough and nets a lot of battery life. The blue colorway grew on me over time, but I still feel it is a bit too monotone; a little contrast would have gone a long way. I did not do any controlled comparisons of the health metrics to other devices, but the numbers seem reasonable. One thing that stood out to me was when weight training with the watch paired to Coros's armband heart rate monitor, there were a few instances where the system did not record any data (see screenshot). Before picking up the Vertex 2S, I used that same armband with my old T-Rex 2 for months and never encountered missed reads like that. After about a week and a half, I think I'm going back to my T-Rex 2. It may not have a great biosensor and does not have the same mapping capabilities, but it tracks workouts fine when paired with an external heart rate sensor, has comparable GPS accuracy to the Vertex 2S (though it takes a bit longer to find the signal), is a much better smartwatch in a non-exercise context, and costs $500 less.

Wonderful watch that does everything I want it to. I primarily use it for hiking.

Espectacular, fácil uso. único punto en contra, a veces el modo altitud se descalibra y hay q estar calibrándolo antes de cambiar el modo gps. lo demás, excelente, un 7, y muchas funciones espectaculares.

Hyper bonne autonomie, cela me permet de partir en raid en montagne pendant une semaine, sans la recharger. L'écran ne vaut pas celle d'une Garmin, mais on y gagne au change. L'application est bien meilleure que l'ancien garmin connect . Vraimment une belle surprise depuis plus d'un an d'utilisation.

Un buon sportwatch non ho critiche da fare sodisfa le mie esigenze. Buona la piattaforma del app in quanto al orologio e chiaro che in futuro a margine per incrementare miglioramenti hardware e anche software. Comunque mi ritengo soddisfatto.

I bought this to replace my garmin fenix 6. This watch is a lot bigger and heavier than my fenix. The colour was great! I had to return because it did not provide extra functionality and the app had less information than the garmin. So I had to return.

Un reloj que no se raya a precio asequible. Rapidísimo para buscar señal GPS. Totalmente personalizable. De los que he usado, es el que mejor controla el pulso. Muy fiable en navegación. Da sensación de robustez.
