A few months ago, we covered one of our favorite sport watch releases in 2023: the COROS Apex 2 Pro highlighting its advanced fitness metrics and robust performance, now the company has returned with their limited-edition Chamonix Edition, a 3000-unit limited edition colourway that recognises one of the greatest places on earth to train and trail-blaze.
For the unaccustomed, COROS is a performance sports technology company that helps athletes train to be their best. With a focus on those who are passionate about the outdoors, mountains, and living an active lifestyle, they seemingly work to combine high-grade hardware with innovative technology to provide endurance athletes with the gear they can rely on in the world’s most extreme environments.
Known as the spiritual home of trail running and gateway to the epic terrain of Mont Blanc, Chamonix is also home to the world-renowned UTMB® Race, where COROS Pro Athlete Kilian Jornet has taken multiple wins. In addition, COROS users have now clocked in over 1 million meters of vertical ascent in Chamonix. The COROS Apex Pro 2 Chamonix edition continues to showcase an impeccable blend of functionality and style with a brand-new Alpine-inspired color boasting a rugged yet elegant design that exudes confidence. The Apex Pro 2 features a lightweight Titanium Alloy build paired with Sapphire glass, making it an ideal companion for endurance athletes. Complete with a vibrant 1.3-inch LCD color display, providing essential information at a glance, even under direct sunlight – there was a lot to like right out of the gate.
When it comes to performance, the Apex Pro 2 was unrivaled with its cutting-edge technology and comprehensive suite of tracking features. Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, swimmer, or hiker, they have you covered. With accurate GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep analysis, and VO2 max calculations, the Apex Pro 2 provided invaluable insights into personal training, progress, and recovery. Plus, its waterproof rating ensures you can conquer any terrain or weather condition with peace of mind.
Sporting extensive battery life, the Apex Pro 2 proved to be a long-lasting companion to my fitness journey. The COROS battery magic within allows consumers to tackle their athletic pursuits without worrying about running out of juice, promising a massive 30 days with normal use. This epic battery life, which the company is known to deliver, truly sets them apart from the competition. Also, of note is COROS’s commitment to software updates, even updating their popular Apex series with downloadable global Landscape and Regional Topo maps. You can also easily sync and follow routes created from the COROS app on your watch when exploring new locations.
Navigating the Apex Pro 2 continues to be a breeze, thanks to its intuitive menus, a very functional rotating crown, and responsive touchscreens. The accompanying smartphone app provides a seamless experience, allowing you to customize settings, track progress, and sync data effortlessly. Furthermore, both watches offer convenient connectivity options, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
To accompany the release of this limited-edition sports watch is their brand-new Patch Hat that allows runners to showcase their loyalty to this emerging brand with style. Available in both blue and grey colorways, this quick-drying and breathable hat not only looks great but allows consumers to swap out one of 4 unique COROS logos and they look great! With an option to use the COROS logo only or one of their Mountain, Desert, or Meadow designs, users simply peel off and Velcro on whatever logo takes their fancy.
With a brilliant adaptive fit backstrap that adjusts to most head sizes, it is one of the most comfortable caps we have worn on long runs, and we have been complimented by fellow runners on its retro design and aesthetic appeal. It is the perfect runner’s companion to keep heads dry and warm this Fall.
To conclude, in the ever-evolving landscape of sport-focused smartwatches, the COROS Apex Pro 2 Chamonix Edition in its stunning Alpine blue design truly stands out. With advanced tracking capabilities, it continues to be our watch of choice to recommend to athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re striving for a personal best or exploring uncharted terrains, COROS will keep you motivated, informed, and connected every step of the way.
