Here’s how the newcomer stacks up to the established GPS outdoor watch.
The main reason you should buy the Vertix 2 is for its outstanding battery life. If you hate charging your watch, this is the model for you. As I mentioned, this has long been a feature among Coros GPS watches that sets them apart from the competition, but the Vertix 2 is off the charts. The watch arrived to me at 85 percent full, according to the on-screen readout. I didn’t plug it in once during the first two weeks of testing.
Regardless of the setting, you’re getting about double the run time from the Vertix that you’d get from a Fenix 6X Pro.The hottest topic of debate about any GPS watch is how accurately it tracks your movement. And, truthfully, most watches have gotten remarkably accurate in recent years. Gone are the days of wildly errant track points.
The Coros Vertix 2 had me on the correct side of the road during a run with clearer views of the sky. The Garmin Fenix 6X Pro deviated off course slightly.Later, I took both watches for a tempo run on Shelter Island, New York. The tree-lined streets didn’t pose much visibility trouble and, there, the Coros fared better. I ran a counter-clockwise loop always staying on the left side of the road.
The Vertix isn’t even close to that functionality. In fact, its music playback feature is rudimentary at best. To play music, you first must load mp3 files onto the watch. Yes, mp3’s. In the year 2021. Who even has music in mp3 format these days? The Vertix can’t support any of the streaming music services, so no Spotify for you.
Syncing a course from your phone to the watch is a bit trickier on the Vertix because Coros doesn’t have a built-in mapping utility like Garmin. Instead of just hitting a button on your app to send the course to your watch, you have to jump through a few hoops. My primary method has been to create the course on Strava first. To do the same, you’ll open Strava in a browser on your phone, navigate to your routes, and select the route.
