With free worldwide topo maps, one of the most accurate publicly available GPS chipsets, and truly impressive battery life, Coros has a serious contender on their hands. The second generation Vertix has a lot going for it, but the showstopper is its dual-frequency GPS. Tapping into all 5 GPS constellations, you get a fast, precise signal, nearly anywhere on the planet. An upgraded battery lets you use the GPS for close to a week between charges. Navigating through routes and maps on the watch is simple, with both a touchscreen and intuitive dial, all of your info is just a scroll or swipe away. The GPS does more than navigation, adding speed and distance info to your training data. An onboard optical heart rate sensor provides pulse related metrics and internal accelerometers translate your movements into information. Dozens of sport profiles, for both indoor and outdoor activities can tell you more about how you train. Should you take a wrong turn when exploring one of your uploaded routes, the back-to-start feature has logical breadcrumb navigation to help get you home safely. When synced with a phone running the free COROS app, you can share and download workouts, review activities, receive texts, social media alerts and email, and more.
