- The device comes with a number of features designed for mountain sports.
- It’s available in two sizes and starts at $429.
Coros has just launched the Apex 4, a smartwatch that it claims is “designed specifically for mountain sports.” The device comes with a variety of new features, including a new design, improved GPS algorithms, longer battery life, and more. Coros also added an upgraded processor and satellite chipset, delivering improved performance that could help it compete with some of the best running watches on the market.
In a press release, Coros said the new wearable “delivers incredible battery life, precision GPS, and a lightning-fast mapping experience, all in a lightweight, premium, and durable design.”
Starting with the design, it includes grade 5 titanium with sapphire crystal and a Memory-In-Pixel (MIP) display. The battery now lasts up to 65 hours with the All-Systems GPS (46mm) model or up to 41 hours on the 42mm version, giving you plenty of power when you’re running or walking on a trail.
On the software side, Coros’ GPS algorithms have been updated to give you more accurate route planning during workouts. Map details such as street names and topographical aspects are now displayed much faster and there are dedicated modes for “trail running, climbing and backcountry skiing, plus advanced training, sleep, recovery and preparation information.”
Built for mountain sports
The Apex is one of Coros’ high-end sports wearables, and previous models have received solid praise and reviews from TechRadar. With Apex 4, Coros hopes to continue that trend.
The company says the Apex 4 is designed specifically for mountain sports, such as trail running, climbing, and ski touring. That means several of its features are geared toward these activities, including 3D terrain views, fall detection, live weather data, and more.
Coros has released the Apex 4 in two sizes: a 46mm model and a 42mm version. The former starts at $479, while the latter costs $429. Both are available now on the Coros website and third-party retailers.
