Coros Apex vs Fossil Gen 6

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

I am on my first month and still have yet to get the step counter, cardio fitness level and calories burned to work at the touch.

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

It had no early preview and it provided no compensation in exchange for this video's production. Please subscribe to the mr mobile on youtube. If you'...

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

You want to the most vanilla experience? Get the Fossil Gen 6. You want mostly vanilla and the best battery?

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

Plus one of the reviews for the gen-six says:. *"gotta download apps to change watch faces and they want you to pay for more or most apps, max of 10 i think before you have to purchase a premium account to hold up to 20..

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

I had gps on. I had my bluetooth earbuds connected to this listening to offline spotify and at the end of the run, i still had plenty of battery left ...

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).

Great. But for me none of that really matters if I can't get through a day without it dying on me. If I put it on at 8:00 in the morning, then it would probably be dead by 4:00 p.m

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'm primarily looking for fitness tracker, notifications, and media controls. I'm leaning towards the Fossil Gen 6 but i don't want to spend money on junk. The fast charging on the Gen 6 would fit my daily routine pretty well and I like the styling of the Gen 6 significantly more than the Ticwatch just want to make sure I'm not going to buy a desk or ornament.

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

The only reason it's not a 4 star is right after the WearOS update they update to their custom WearOS 3.2. This is frustrating as they remove google assistant in favor of Alexa as well as not being the latest 3.5 update that is currently out there

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.

Well, I concluded this is cased by a design flaw (and unfortunately Fossil is famous for other design flaws on the previous models) and I don't want to keep a product with this, so I returned. I wish Fossil had done a better job testing it to fix this before releasing it or at least fix it via a SW upload (if a matter of SW only) before I had the issue. Now, too late for me and not looking for a next Fossil watch. Coros, can you lease launch a model with OLED for me to replace my Coros Pace?
