Coros, renowned for its durable and feature-rich sports watches, has introduced the Apex Pro and its successor, the Apex 2 Pro. While both models cater to athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, the Apex 2 Pro brings several enhancements over the original Apex Pro.
Design and Display
Both watches feature a robust design with a titanium alloy bezel and sapphire glass display. The Apex Pro has a 1.3-inch screen with a resolution of 260 x 260 pixels, whereas the Apex 2 Pro offers a slightly larger 1.3-inch display with a higher resolution of 416 x 416 pixels, providing clearer visuals.
Performance and Features
- Battery Life: The Apex 2 Pro offers significant improvements in battery performance. It provides up to 75 hours in standard GPS mode, compared to the Apex Pro‘s 66 hours. In “All Systems On” mode, the Apex 2 Pro lasts approximately 45 hours, surpassing the Apex Pro’s 38 hours.
- Storage Capacity: With 32GB of onboard storage, the Apex 2 Pro allows users to store extensive maps and music. In contrast, the Apex Pro offers 4GB of storage, limiting offline content options.
- GPS Technology: A standout feature of the Apex 2 Pro is its support for dual-frequency GPS, enhancing accuracy in challenging environments. The Apex Pro lacks this feature, relying on standard GPS.
- Sport Modes: The Apex 2 Pro introduces a “Multi-Pitch Climbing” mode, catering to climbers with specialized tracking. Both models share most other sport modes, including running, cycling, swimming, and hiking.
Conclusion
The Apex 2 Pro builds upon the Apex Pro’s foundation by offering enhanced display clarity, extended battery life, increased storage, advanced GPS capabilities, and additional sport modes. These improvements make it a compelling choice for athletes seeking comprehensive tracking and extended usage without frequent charging. However, for those satisfied with standard GPS accuracy and less demanding storage needs, the original Apex Pro remains a reliable option.
