same price and MIP display. Coros is listening to the customers.

Moving from Garmin 6X Pro to Vertix 2s. Joining the underdog for its battery life to last my miler race.

I currently have the pace 3 which exceeds my needs in terms of watches. i love the updates that coros have been bringing to their entire product stack

[anupmiler]

I bought 2s recently. Had pace 2 for three years which I have given my wife now. Actually she bought both.

[MCameron]

I have a Pace 2 and 3 years later it is still rock solid making it really hard to justify any new watch. Even though the tech junkie in me has fomo and would love this watch.

[stanmakowski]

Great video Dave, I have the Vertix2 and I was excited when I opened the email from Coros. But when I looked at the specs I was disappointed. Colors are nice but on the specs sheet battery life is better on my old Vertix2. I understand they updated some inner things, gps and heart rate sensor but same display was a big let down. Thanks for your work and the videos. Sticking with the old Vertix2 for now.

[R.a.p.h.a.e.l.a]

If it's the same size as the Vertix 2 then I very much fear I'll have to take a pass. I'm a small-wristed female and I can just about get away with the Vertix 1, but when I first looked at the specs of the Vertix 2 it seemed like it was wider across than my wrist, so I rather doubt I could wear it comfortably. It's a pity, because if the size were right I'd probably be very tempted to upgrade even though I still love my Vertix 1.
Kudos to Coros, BTW, for still sending all the updates to models as old as the original Vertix! Makes me feel less left out of the fancy new hardware. :)

[BrockGilmer]

Bought an Apex Pro a few years ago and have loved it dearly. Really wanted to move in the Vertix line, but didnt want to purchase a 2 with the thoughts of a new model on its way. Definitely considering this model, looks gorgeous too.

[bigbang]

Il y a plusieurs vidéos qui sortent en même temps sur les nouveautés, mais c'est toujours les tiennes que je regarde 👍

[migger]

Thank you for reviewing these watches!
I really like those colors. I would take the moon version.
MIP display is still good enough imo.
But as you mentioned the competition is tough. Even a Garmin 7X (non pro) has more functionality at a lower price point when being in sale.
Nowadays flashlight should be a must with these kind of watches!

[trailzrock]

Glad it's not AMOLED. Sticking with my FR955. But if Garmin goes completely AMOLED, I'm out. I like watches but not ones that look like a phone on my wrist 👍😀

[Flying]

I’ve been having so many issues with my garmin instinct 3 and garmins technical support has been super difficult to deal with so I’ve been thinking about making the jump to Coros..

[RegisC]

Keep up the good work. Thanks for your reviews :)

[JoelNads]

Garmin Fenix 6x still going strong so no need to upgrade yet but Coros is the plan when he time comes. Maybe when the fully new vertix 3 comes out

[ghostishev]

I'll wait for something lighter, like updated Apex 3 Pro (2S?) and a Coros bike computer for sure. 
BTW, I cannot say Garmin is more polished. As a software engineer, I see Garmin platform very buggy and they don't care.

[SteveShankles]

Great review Dave, big improvements with heart monitoring, Coros is listening to it's sports fan's

[sxhrgvs]

Another great review. Thanks Dave. Good looking watch but my next watch will probably be a AWU 3, to try a more useful day to day smartwatch. I’ve had 4 years out of my fenix 6x pro, and it’s still going, so I’m hanging on for September.

[isthiify]

Brilliant review, as always- thanks man

[jcldc]

Thanks for the presentation of this new Coros watch, nice video again. To answer your question, I am gonna keep my garmin fenix 6 pro so far 😉

[PeterHerget]

Nice review, Dave, and glad they sent you all three. I like the Earth model the best...
