The Coros Apex 4, another smartwatch for the ultra-active athlete, has just entered the market. These devices come with advanced navigation features like local map viewing and turn-by-turn directions all at a competitive price point.
Advanced Tracking and Navigating Features
The Coros Apex 4 series is built for outdoor and endurance sports. The following are the core features important to athletes:
- Precise Positioning: Uses dual-frequency GPS and a barometer for accurate location and elevation tracking.

Hardware, Display, and Battery Endurance
The watch is surfaced with a sturdy titanium frame and a sun-readable MIP (Memory-in-Pixel) screen. It comes in two sizes:
- 46mm Model: 1.3-inch display, 65 hours of battery life while recording an activity continuously.
