They’ve got near-identical bodies, and both come with fabric sport bands. With that – let’s begin! What’s New, and How They Differ:Īt a glance from more than a few meters away, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the COROS APEX 2 and APEX 2 Pro. If you found this review useful, feel free to hit up the links at the end of the site, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter.
Both units are media loaners from COROS, and as usual, they’ll get sent back to them once I wrap up here. I’ve been putting both watches through their paces, in a variety of sports from swim to bike to run, plus of course daily usage as a general watch/activity tracker.
TEST HORIZON APEX PRO
The APEX 2 Pro comes in at $499, whereas the base APEX 2 slides in at $399, but lacks the multiband GPS and larger battery life, and has a slightly smaller screen. It also includes a battery life of up to 75 hours depending on the mode (25 hours for multiband usage though). The 1.3” screen COROS APEX 2 Pro includes a revamped optical heart rate sensor, adds multiband GNSS/GPS, adds music storage for MP3s (no streaming service), includes offline maps, touchscreen, WiFi, and HRV readings.
TEST HORIZON APEX SOFTWARE
It has virtually all the same software features as the more expensive Vertix 2. Ultimately, COROS sees these two models (APEX 2 Pro vs Vertix 2) differentiated by style/materials, more so than software.
The new APEX 2 series is best viewed through the lens of being a smaller VERTIX 2 (released one year ago). And to make things even more fun – I’ve been wearing both watches side by side (well, on opposite wrists) just to see how they handle and differ. Thus, I’ve gone with one consolidated review. While I had considered doing entirely separate reviews for both of these, the reality is they’re virtually identical watches same some minor internal spec differences. Today COROS has announced the long-teased COROS APEX 2 series watches, including both a base model and a Pro model.
