This watch is Amazing! There is so much to love about the watch, but if I had to narrow it down I would say I love the workout capabilities of the watch, the GPS( which is amazing), and the amount of thought that went into the watch. I would highly recommend anyone to buy this watch. I would also like to say how amazing the company is. I had an issue because I downloaded the topography map to the wrong folder, which was completely my fault and had nothing to do with their engineering, and specifically David from customer service spent about a month and a half with me helping to get my issue resolved. For something that was completely my fault, the customer service from this company was amazing.

After watching hours of YouTube reviews decided to make the switch from my old garmin Fenix 6 to the Coros Vertix 2. I live in the Pacific Northwest where it is often cloudy and most of my hikes are under a thick canopy from the trees. This connects to more satellites which is what won me over. Typically GPS is all over the place. After multiple hikes with over a few dozen miles logged and about 27,000ft elevation gain and loss I’m super stoked with this watch. The GPS track is SPOT ON! My previous watch and even my inreach had issues and would often create a track off trail and even over bodies of water. No issues with the Vertix and it never went off the trail once. The elevation gain was also accurate. The thing that also blew me away was the metrics that it ... MoreAfter watching hours of YouTube reviews decided to make the switch from my old garmin Fenix 6 to the Coros Vertix 2.

As far as route planning I was a bit concerned but it was way easier to set and plan a route and did it straight from my phone, no computer needed which was a relief. As far as the Watch color I went with obsidian which didn’t look too impressive online but once I got it it was actually cool looking and came in a sick box. It also has multi pitch mode for climbing which I hope to utilize soon. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

My first heart rate monitor was a Polar pacer approximately 1992-1993. Since then I have used this brand, Suunto and Garmin. Last year I had to decide what to do with my Fenix 5. there was nothing wrong with it but I want a change. Coros vertex 2, Garmin Fenix and polar grit x were my options. Even having a 50% discount on a Polar grit x I went for a Vertix 2. One of my mayor points of choice was battery duration. I do Ultratrail and I always had to use a power bank to recharge my watch on the fly. Last year it was my first UTMB. I set my vertix2 with navigation of the course, arrive 18 hours later to Courmayeur and find that the battery was even 91%. This was just a dream. I used Garmin watch for years and have lots of athletes that use them, so I know well all the ... MoreMy first heart rate monitor was a Polar pacer approximately 1992-1993.

The support is horrible and if some product fails….. well God helps you. I know Coros has field to work on some metrics and web site (they are making progress and improving all the time) but when you have a problem they answer you and there are there not only to make money, they care about you and for me that’s very important, especially when you have a problem. Keeping this way please, you are in the correct one. Congratulations.

Couldn’t be more pleased with the new Coros Vertix 2. Incredible battery life and exceptional features. The music platform works great. I’m still learning how to navigate all the features and loving every moment. Play Better was a pleasure to work with. Good customer service and very fast delivery. The Coros Vertix 2 and Play Better are both 5 star ratings
Wow... what an amazing watch overall. It is so refreshing having another great watch maker in the business that provides a great alternative to Garmin. I have owned the Coros Vertix 2 for just about a year and am overall very satisfied. I have several things that I love and a handful of things that they should prioritize improving to take my rating from 4 stars to 5. THE GOOD: 1) Absolutely incredible battery life! The best! Insane! I laugh at how often an Apple Watch has to be charged (A LOT). Garmin is better, but still frustratingly limited. Coros, on the other hand goes for an insanely long time between charges. I work out quite a lot and use tracking on almost all of my workouts (ie: GPS) and am always impressed at how incredible the battery life is on my ... MoreWow... what an amazing watch overall.

I work out quite a lot and use tracking on almost all of my workouts (ie: GPS) and am always impressed at how incredible the battery life is on my Coros. 2) I personally love the size of this watch (on par with the Garmin Fenix series). I'm 6' 2" w/ an average build and the watch doesn't seem overly big or dainty... just right. 3) The app is very friendly to use, upgrading firmware or gps-data is very simple to manage, etc. I also really like the customization you can do to workout screens. 4) There are also many other perks to the watch: the ability to make it left or right handed (& set which side of the watch face you want the buttons), multiple workout modes, etc. THE BAD: 1) Complaint number one is ALMOST a deal-breaker for me. It is so, SO annoying that the map feature is not integrated into each workout. What I mean is that there is not an easy way to look at the map on the watch face while working out... there is no way to add a "map view" while swiping between your workout data fields. It is horrible that Coros has not integrated the map into the workout screens. Instead, while you're doing a workout and need to see where you are on a map, you have to long-hold a side button, then scroll (and scroll) to the MAP option, click on it, look around on the map, then exit the map to go back into your workout screens. For the life of me, I have no clue why Coros doesn't integrate the map into any GPS-based workout type. Garmin has been ahead of the curve here for years. 2) The backlighting is pathetic on my Vertix 2. There are times that I look at my watch in variable light and can't see anything... I tap the backlight button and NOTHING is visible... this is something that I can live without, but it is frustrating from time to time when I struggle to see what's on my watch face (forcing me to cup my hand over the watch face and activate the light, just to see it. 3) WHY, WHY, WHY does Coros have track run, run, trail run, and treadmill run as workout options but only bike available for two-wheeled adventures?!? Why isn't there road bike vs mountain bike? They are two completely different types of workouts that I would love to analyze independently. 4) For the love of god, Coros, please add the ability to crop a workout! From time to time, I forget to end my workout when I get back to the truck and start driving... all of a sudden my run or bike ride or kayak adventure has screwed up data due to the speed / distance travelled... and there is no way to crop this data from your workout. Well, you can actually go into the workout in the app, edit it, and change the distance, BUT Coros clearly says "Modifying the distance does not affect the system distance accumulation or medal acquisition." REALLY?!? C'mon, Coros... allow us to modify the workout time/distance and make sure we didn't set a new land speed record while running on the interstate. You need to fix this. So to sum things up, I honestly am very, very impressed with the Coros watch. It's battery life, functionalism, GPS accuracy, app friendliness, and much more are all very good. I just have a bad taste in my mouth (4-star review vs 5) because of the 4 issues Coros should change.
If you are an ultra trail runner and adventurer then this is the watch for you! Great features at a better price than comparable brands. I feel it clearly exceeds the Garmin watch I was using (935) and the Garmin app. It is rugged, has great accuracy and capability, and the battery life is almost unbelievable! It will take a little getting used to using the many features. But you will love it!
The unboxing experience was amazing. The built quality of the watch is incredible. Seriously it's a really great looking watch and it's confortable to wear. I'm very disapointed that yet they don't have a walk mode. Sport mode are very limited, and the data field you can add in the watch are also limited when comparing to any serious Garmin Watch. Also Coros is dependent to it's app. You need the app to edit a lot of thing in the watch. I love the fact that the watch can be wear upside down. I also love the fact that it got a sapphire crystal screen. But still at that price, I would get a Garmin Fenix, It will give more for about the same money.
Bought this watch based on the stellar reviews. As someone who loves avid hiking, CrossFit, overlanding and exploring off the grid, it exceeds my expectations. I had a small issue with watch after a year and reached out to technical support. They replied immediately, and resolved the problem which redoubled my love for Coros. They truly stand behind their product.
I have had the Coros Vertix 2 for just over a month now and here are my thoughts and impressions. Including some inside knowledge of where the product software will be going. My first day/first workout of backcountry skiing. The first thing I suspected could be an issue is the placement of the buttons; most specifically, the main button. With it being in a traditional watch location I personally, run into the issue of accidental button pushes. I’m coming from using the Garmin Vivoactive 3 for the past 4 years. I often would accidentally hit the start stop button; whether it is from bending my wrist or, or gloves or sleeves hit the button. I found that to be the case on the Vertix 2 with my first AT ski outing, even when activating the locked screen.

With it being in a traditional watch location I personally, run into the issue of accidental button pushes. I’m coming from using the Garmin Vivoactive 3 for the past 4 years. I often would accidentally hit the start stop button; whether it is from bending my wrist or, or gloves or sleeves hit the button. I found that to be the case on the Vertix 2 with my first AT ski outing, even when activating the locked screen. From a hardware aspect; that is my only complaint. Other than that, I do not notice the weight of the watch or the size. I do not have a huge wrist (178mm or 7” in circumference) yet the watch looks and feels right in place. The strap feels really good, I have purchased a separate nylon strap from Coros for use in the warmer weather when my wrist will get sweaty. I have found this to help with moisture control and not get sores on my skin. Wrist based heart rate. As shown in multiple YouTube reviews; the heart rate took awhile to catch up to the chest strap. But once it did, it was very close to the chest strap. The elevation came up higher than the Strava iPhone app. That could possibly be because I used all of the satellites, the highest level the watch has. For cycling, in comparison to my Hammerhead Karoo 2; the Vertix 2 has consistently read lower elevation. After my first few activities, I went from Dual Frequency to All Systems to save on battery life. It's a long running debate, which device is the most accurate. Talking about battery life; this is the what Coros wants to be known for and what they boast in many of their promotional materials. I made it 4 weeks on one charge and had a total of just under 40 hours of GPS activities recorded on this device. At 4 weeks the watch was at 5% battery life remaining, it would not sync to the app as it gave the message “Connect to power source to upload your activity.” I plugged in the watch and roughly two hours later it was fully charged. The battery life is really good and a big selling point to Coros and the Vertix 2. Who is this for? Coros seems to focus towards runners. I say this because in order to take advantage their EvoLab feature; all the health tracking i.e. your fitness and recovery, you have to run for a week. This watch is for the athlete who likes to do everything but has a core training of running or has running included in their training. For me as predominantly a cyclist, and essentially an anti-runner, this watch currently is not the best for me. What cyclist could this be for? It can be for a triathlete. It can be for the cyclocross rider/racer. Once you have done your basic fitness testing through running you can access all of the health and fitness tracking this watch has to offer. In speaking with the product experience manager at Coros; he told me the main reason for the EvoLab being based on running is because anyone can just go out for a run. You do not really need anything other than sneakers. Whereas cycling requires more equipment not everyone has to get going. He also told me they do have plans to get other activities to count towards your base fitness, like cycling by the end of 2022. At this point I can only give 4 stars for this product. The main reasons being the placement of the main button and doing accidental start stops presses. The second reason is some of their widgets that operate the on the watch. I still have an issue with the sleep tracking getting cut short if you wake up after 6 hours go to the bathroom and go back to sleep. The other widget I feel is not needed is the ambient temperature. I will post some other data comparisons in "reply" below this review for some more info.
COROS recently updated their firmware, and secretly changed how calories are calculated. This was a major change for me. There was no notification of change in the notes availble before updating firmware.My device has essentially become no more than a very expensive watch for me, and has lost the majority of feature set I valued. I previously loved the device and the company, highly reccomending often. I will not reccomend or purchase another device from COROS at this point.I feel upset and disenchanted with the company's decision to drastically change the product, completely upend my user experience, and not provide any communication about the change until after the fact, with no ability to go back.
