The right watch for: Trail and mountain runners who want a big battery and altitude tracking.
The emphasis on elevation is reflected throughout the new features. New modes prioritize measurements such as trail grade and vertical ascent per hour. They’ve incorporated a modified stride calculator for those rare instances when your wrist can’t communicate with satellites 22,000 feet above. Whereas in the Apex your speed and distance during signal loss was calculated via the speed you had been going, the Vertix’s algorithm takes your modified pace on a trail into consideration.
One of the most important additions to the mountaineering watch is the altitude performance index. This assigns a numeric value to your blood oxygen level, allowing users to compare readings while scaling high trails and mountains to measurements at normal elevation. The Vertix takes these readings every hour. At sea level it’ll read in the 95-100% range ; if you dip below 70, you will be issued an advisory to either stop climbing or to retreat a few thousand feet.
None of that would matter if it wasn’t correct, right? Thankfully, the watch was hyper-accurate, with each mile’s haptic ping coming within feet of the unofficial markers on my local trail. Altitude measurements and hill grades matched up those found in local atlases and Google Maps. With a few notable exceptions , the longest I waited to receive a signal was ten seconds.
Plus, it’ll ensure you don’t get lost. If you’ve tackled a trail over the winter or spring but your usual landmarks are now covered in overgrown weeds, you can store up to ten routes. Managed through the app, these routes resemble Waze directions on your wrist, letting you know when and where to turn, notifying you if you stray too far from the designated route.We can’t recommend this for folks who will spend more time in the concrete jungle than the wilderness.
While there are a lot of positives with the battery – a two-hour bike ride only drained four percent and it only required one charge in the four weeks I tested it – one feature I couldn’t replicate was the claimed lack of battery depreciation in low temperatures. Coros says it will work down to -4° F with less than 30 percent battery loss and last 21 hours in GPS mode when the temps drop to -22° F.
