Kitletics Review · 8.5 Very Good

COROS Apex 2 Pro is a adventure GPS watch. Durable sapphire MIP endurance watch built for ultra and multi-day adventures. I'd shortlist it for long GPS endurance profile. The trade-off is mIP less vivid than AMOLED indoors — COROS Apex 4 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a adventure GPS watch, not a one-product rotation.
