Coros Apex vs Fossil Gen 5

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

87. It fared better during a half-mile run outside, logging 0.53 miles to the Stryd's 0.47 and the Apple Watch's 0

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

Great for replying to texts, fitness was actually surprisingly good, counts steps actually very well, apps like calculator and find my phone always come in handy, and yes it tells time. So overall should you get this watch? I feel like if you don't have a Apple of Samsung phone, yes get this watch. Otherwise I recommend if you have an iPhone or Galaxy that you stick to their ecosystem. But to other people who have regular Android's this is a go to

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

I hope it's not too bright Or not bright enough if you want to change the brightness just go to settings To display adjust brightness. So mine is turn...

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

You know how I get about my smartwatches.. Let's see if this one has a chance at earning its price: tag

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

The battery life is below average for the price point so it's not all good news. So is it still worth the buy? Yes, it probably is. Depending on what ...

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).

The Pro 3 lasts pretty much forever. The Gen 5 usually lasts a day with everything enabled except tilt-to-wake. The Gen 5 can stretch to 2 days with the Always-on screen disabled while the Pro 3 easily makes it through 2 days with everything enabled except tilt-to-wake.

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.

You get all the features you could possibly hope for all presented in a sleek and slender stainless steel chassis. That's what I reckon but are you te...

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

Would it be better to return it and get a watch that will get the update (TicWatch, Samsung)? Also, does this mean FitBit is going to run Wear OS now too? Thanks everyone!

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.

For the past month, I’ve been testing the two most powerful Wear OS watches you can buy: the TicWatch Pro 3 from Mobvoi and the Fossil Gen 5 LTE. They’re not spec-for-spec identical, but they do share a basic shape: big, chunky, round, and black. If you’re using Android and want a smartwatch, they’re at the top of a persistently tiny list of top-flight smartwatches.

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

Hope you are happy with yours. My first advice is to make sure you charge it with a 1amp or less source. Fossil warns that a higher current charger could heat the charging rings and loosen the glue.
