Deciding between Garmin 6x pro, 945, baro peak 9, or Vertix 2

I wouldn't buy 6x at this point because Fenix 7 seems imminent. Who knows, perhaps it will get dual band GPS chip (similar to the one in Vertix 2), which should improve accuracy. Personally I don't trust Coros in terms of having my personal data there, but that is just me.

This behemoth of a GPS watch has a few things to iron out

Overall, the Vertix 2 feels like a step on the way to something better.

Coros Reliability ???

I have had a white Garmin instinct and a black Suunto 9baro and loved them, but the Vertix battery takes the cake IMO. A lot of the extra features didn’t work as well on the other watches or weren’t as reliable as I anticipated. The Suunto and Garmin body batter features were very mehhhh. And the sleep tracking was so so.

I had Garmin Fenix 5x and Polar Vantage V. Today I checked out Coros Vertix 1 and 2 in the shop and i really like it's design, overall training options, and battery life which is crazy too. Scrolling with round button is fun for me too.

Is the Vertix 2 "worth it" over the Vertix 1?

But yes other than screen size, and gopro, insta360 camera control, onboard music, and a few other features, I would say no its not worth the large price gap, unless those things are important to you, which in my case they were, so I went with the Vertix 2.

Now Same price - Should I Vertix 1 or Apex Pro? HELP!

If you're a min/maxer then maybe the extra few grams on the apex pro is enough to sway you, but otherwise I believe the Vertix sounds like a great choice for your use scenario. On a side note, I like how the HR sensor on the Vertix doesn't stick out like the 245, seems more flush against my skin. The band is also really good quality and I feel secures much better without being too tight or restricting.

Thinking about taking the plunge, need some advice/experience moving from Garmin ecosystem

I think in my recommendation I would go with the Vertix if I were you because of the price drop on it. For the money I think that is currently the best value device that COROS offers.

Pace 2 vs Fenix 6 or Forerunner 55

I'm a Coros Vertix owner but let's be honest here. If you can get a Fenix 6 for about the same price it's a no brainer. Better build quality, maps, music, etc.

But in the end it depends on what you are looking for.

I mentioned in my Vertix 1 review that Coros is a special company. I mean, what other brand do you know of that updates an old product to match features of a new product?.

Any regrets transitioning from. Garmin to coros?

And I felt like the Garmin had more glitches. So when they announced the Vertix 2 with maps, I immediately sold the Fenix online and got the Coros Vertix 2. And I will say, while Coros doesn’t have quite as many features, it has a way smoother user experience. And the features it does have, it does better.
