Coros (Read 102 times)

    Hi, I'm thinking of switching to Coros, Apex2, not sure yet. This site supports Coros uploads \ import correct? Want to be sure before  I go out and purchase one.

    edit.  Found my answer, manual upload which is fine.

      Love my Coros. I save my workout as gpx and upload here. Works great.

      Runs like a dj mixing songs while wearing festive outfits.

        That's what I was figuring, thanks!

         

        Btw, how's their support?

          I've found them to be extremely helpful. They have a vibrant fb group with a dedicated staff member answering questions. Searching that group solves most issues.


          Hubs also has a different model Coros, and they discovered a bug and sent him a brand new upgraded one for free.

                FWIW I have a Pace. It was an absolute rockstar of a watch for about 2 years then the battery started dying really quickly. I contacted support, followed their instructions to try and improve things and get them logs and about 3 days latter they sent me shipping information to return the watch. I had a new watch about a week after I first contacted them. tl;dr; their support did well by me.

                    I just got the Coros apx 2 pro Monday. Loving it. Got it or the battery life. Now I don't have to charge my watch during a 100 miler. It says it can go 70 hours of gps. I need to figure out how.

                      I've been a COROS users for about 10 years now.   Love the watches and especially the long batter life - i had a first generation APEX and now a Vertix.  I do think the the health matrix are a little off but I don't care about them to begin with.   I got COROS because I wanted time/distance/pace and a long battery life......and that's what I got.

                       

                      A few years ago I ran a 100 miler with a Garmin Friend and beat him by an hour because he kept having to stop and charge his watch....

                       

                      BTW - Your Apex will probably take you thru a 100 miler, but you can set it on ULTRA MAX (I think is the term) and it will go longers.....

                        loved my pace 2 for a couple of years at least but it just died last week. i think i killed it going into a hot tub. anyway i ordered a new one. as soon as i did i see the pace 3 came out. oh well.

                        the pace 2 does everything i need except the hrm is very inaccurate. i dont blame coros, it's just the optical wrist ones dont really work for me idk why.
