– Added dual-GNSS functionality: Basically this means dual-frequency GPS, the highest type of consumer GPS available accuracy-wise, in theory considerably beyond what Garmin/Suunto/Polar/etc have today. – Added music: Supports Mp3 files being loaded on the watch via USB cable, for playback with Bluetooth headphones – Added maps: Both topo and regular maps, available for anywhere on earth (downloadable free from COROS site via computer) Thus, while I’ll detail all the goodness first, I’m going to talk about all the catches immediately after that. There’s a boatload of new features in this watch, but there’s also a lot of caveats with many of these new features.

I’m not a sponsored athlete or ambassador for COROS or any other brand. Like all products I review, I don’t take any funding (or even allow ads) from companies I review. With that, COROS sent over this media loaner unit to poke at. Still, it does show that promise, and so I’ll outline all the pieces that worked super well for me – and then the pieces that were more challenging.

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. Plus day to day usage, including things like music playback. I’ve been using the watch 24×7 for the last month, including everything from trail runs to openwater swims, bike rides to road runs.
The price comes in at a conversation-stopping $699USD. Plus a larger screen, titanium alloy bezels/case, and even WiFi.īut all that’s gonna cost you. 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.

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.
It’s been just shy of a year since COROS’s last new model hardware release, the Pace 2.
