APEX 4

The Coros Pace series build quality isn't great. They're all-plastic watches, normal glass screen. The base Pace 4 also has only a 1.2" screen (same as the Garmin 165, which is also a cheap plastic build). The Active 3 seems to be targeted as Amazfit's entry level running watch has better build qual

I'm using Apex 4 since February, for me it's perfect watch, but im Coros fan since last 7 years. Transfer from Apple watch will be a huge improvement for you, but please remember that Coros is more sport than smart watch. Very good for running, hiking, cycling but not for reading mails. I love sapph

The Nomad is essentially an Apex 4 in a bulkier polycarbonate body with a normal glass screen. It's Coros's answer to the Garmin Instinct series, and has a lot more functionality as well (like maps!) that Garmin gates to their higher end devices.

Got a Coros Pace 2 in Dec 2020, it is plastic and cheap, feels plastic and cheap. But it still worked fine when I used it for a run yesterday. Everything still works. Got an Apex 2 in 2023, titanium bezel and Sapphire glass feels solid and premium, but the charging port failed after about about 1.5

I agree with the both of you. I don't think that every release has to be ground breaking or revolutionary. Pardon the pun but the Apex has reached its apex in terms of MIPS hardware design. Other than adding a flashlight and making the watch more premium and with an appealing "cool" factor, the Apex

I just got a Nomad couple of weeks ago. I upgraded from the Apex Pro 1. I did not have to, the watch was running great. But I found a great deal and jumped on it. The nomad is great. My reasoning behind getting it was: you get 90% of the Apex 4 (the important 90%), for 70% the price, or even less if

I tried out a fenix 8 earlier this year. Had it for about a week and used in parallel with my Apex 2. It was my dream upgrade at the time. This is my personal takeaway: I didn’t like the feedback on the Fenix buttons. The clickiness of the coros watch was sooo much more satisfying. As well as using

I think the Coros Nomad is the better choice IMO: excellent battery life, somewhat rugged casing and offline maps. The Nomad has strong battery life, you can go on a single charge for up to 22 days. Of course when using the GPS you're not going to get the full 22 days. Also it's a bit more rugged th

I have the Vertical 2 and the Coros Nomad. Both of them are great watches for sports tracking. If you are not going to wear it everyday, just for sports activities I would go for the Coros because it's cheaper and offers the same or maybe slightly more metrics and customisation. Suunto build quality

Maybe COROS Apex 4? It's very high quality.
