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

For that price, I'd buy a Suunto Race 2 or a Coros Apex 4. Not this thing

Stick with the Enduro 3. You already own it, and it's one of the best watches out there, especially when it comes to navigation features. Garmin also beats Coros in trail running, hiking, and mountain biking, thanks to features like ClimbPro that Coros still lacks. While some features on the Enduro

I personally sold everything I own from garmin, this company lost their way. Coro

Help! Which is better, a 3 year old watch or a brand new watch? The Apex 4 is the best watch available from Coros right now.

Coros does a remarkable job of delivering us great products I'd say they do a remarkable job of creating great products... but the delivery of them could use some work. There have been a lot of folks waiting for the Apex 4 and Pace 4 to finally ship.

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
