Smartwatches

Apex 2 Pro

Coros · £424

A GPS sports watch with a round face and a silicone strap.

Worth being NRY provisional

£424 for the outdoor Coros, aimed at multi-day adventures rather than at the gym. The case is tougher than the Pace Pro and the battery is longer, which is the trade for £126 more. It is the direct answer to Garmin’s fenix line at well under half what the fenix 8 Pro costs, and the gap is in the ecosystem rather than in the hardware.

For
Someone walking or climbing for days who wants mapping and will not pay fenix money.
Not for
Anyone who wants the deepest ecosystem: Garmin’s is larger and that is worth something.

What we checked

  • Coros build it for outdoor adventures rather than for the gym. Sigma Sports

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
