Coros Apex vs Fitbit Versa 3

When setting up the Apex, the app asks you to select your training level (light, moderate, or hard), and set your daily calorie and exercise goals. I’m an average runner at best, so I selected the light training level, and went with the default recommendations of 153 calories and 39 minutes of exercise. If you find your exercise goals too easy, you can change them in the app. When you meet your daily goal, the Apex vibrates and shows a congratulatory message on its screen

First of all, you will have to pay for fitbit premium to get all of your analytics, and so by that i mean they have some custom workout plans and some...

For those thinking that perhaps the Coros has a hardware issue, I should note that I had Bluetooth issues on the Pace 2 in many of the similar ways. And for those thinking it’s my phone, I had the same issue with my iPhone 11 and the Pace 2 as well. This is either the Bluetooth stack on their devices, or a poor handling of the Bluetooth API interactions on iOS. As I finally finished my customization (new watch face, workout screen modifications [data fields]), I was able to finally start putting the Apex Pro through it’s paces

My fourth Fitbit, first Smart Watch. Has an issue with maintaining connection to GPS and syncing with the fitbit app. Sometimes it won't sync for days at a time until I manually sync it. I read several negative reviews on these issues, but hoped for better and was let down

I actually give Fitbit the win on both mobile and website interfaces. I find the dark theme and low contrast text on the mobile app hard to read. I don't like that some screens/views require rotating the phone. And, it's just hard to see some of the data I want to see, like HR during specific parts of a workout

It feels light and comfortable on my wrist, even when I wear it to bed. It comes in three color options: black aluminum with a black band, soft gold aluminum with a navy band, or soft gold aluminum with a pinkish band. 

I'm in love with my Coros Apex. Got it for $300 on sale. I seriously do not think there is a better deal for a watch. To get a comparable Garmin I'd have to spend $650

I did some research and found out that FitBit Versa 3 is the most suitable item under budget for me.

I almost forgot I had it on at times. The battery life is the selling point of this watch (and frankly, all Coros products). A bit better than what I get on my Fenix 6X. The trade-off in software and lack of data ultimately had me stick with Garmin though

Ironically I use Google fit instead. That said. The Apple Watch battery is rough at one-day.

I have had a 245 for 2 years and it’s pretty dope. I really can’t see myself upgrading to a different running watch (though having Garmin Pay would be nice).

I owned an Ionic before this one and it lasted about two years before the screen started screwing up. Hopefully this one will last longer.

I only use the text & call notifications because everything else was just overwhelming/obnoxious. That's also because my Pixel was updated & the "new & improves bubbles" turned my notifications to shit.

I never get any notifications. I returned the first one thinking it might have just been an issue with that one watch, bit the 2nd one did the same thing. I had my wife try to connect her iPhone to see if it was just an Android issue, but it did the same for her. very disappointing

So I've recently update the firmware of my Coros Apex and updated the app. After that the watch was unpaired from my phone and I can't pair it. I've tried everything. I've reset all network connection and cache on my phone, restarted my phone and watch, reset my watch, but still nothing

49]([URL REMOVED] and the Fitbit app is version 3.49.1. My Pixel 5 just updated today to Android 12 (not beta)

And, it's just hard to see some of the data I want to see, like HR during specific parts of a workout. The iPhone app interface is why I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 star and I'd probably only deduct half a start if that were possible.

What makes this worse is that while like many other watches out there, you can find a bounty of 'compatible with' bands to choose from. But almost all of them are of this same stupid design. It just simply makes NO SENSE to me. Some others have complained about the lack of ability to store more faces, or to stream/store music, but honestly

No complaints. It is comfortable to ware all day and night. It is very light and does not feel thick in the wrist. The Band: The band is also very light and comfortable

I have been using Fitbit devices for nearly ten years. While I have been satisfied over the years my satisfaction has been lessoned over the past 3 years because of a lack of progress with Fitbit devices. Fitbit devices today are made for people who want to track steps counts through the day and occasionally track a moderate workout. Current devices are not made for anyone tracking a serious workout
