COROS VERTIX 2 In-Depth Review: 11 New Things To Know!

In-Depth Review: Http://www.dcrainmaker.com

It’s been just shy of a year since COROS’s last new model hardware release, the Pace 2. And while we’ve seen the many software updates over the last year, it appears their hardware team has been well-fueled with Mountain Dew & Red Bull. The new VERTIX 2 drops a bombshell of features into their lineup, including full color topographic mapping, music playback, dual-GNSS functionality (the first sports/fitness watch with it), ECG functionality, longer battery life, and Insta360action cam controls. Plus a larger screen, titanium allow bezels/case, and even WiFi.

But all that’s gonna cost you. The price comes in at a conversation-stopping $699USD. I’ve been using the watch 24x7 for the last month, including everything from trail runs to openwater swims, bike rides to road runs. Plus day to day usage, including things like music playback. And while the features I outlined in the first paragraph might draw your attention in, I’d really encourage you to read the full review (or at least the next section), as this is a watch that shows lots of future promise, but probably isn’t quite as polished or complete as you’d expect for the price.

Still, it does show that promise, and so I’ll outlined all the pieces that worked super well for me – and then the pieces that were more challenging.
