The Vertix 2 is a solid upgrade on Coros' first-gen adventure watch. Whether you’re training an hour a day or tackling multi-day endurance expeditions, its battery life is beyond impressive. The luxury of once-a-month charging is almost worth the price tag by itself. GPS and heart rate tracking are a reliable match for the competition – and but for the lack of turn-by-turn instructions, the Vertix 2’s navigation smarts would be top-notch too. Yes, the breadth of EvoLab training insights are almost overwhelming – and we found the bulky design left us often wanting to take it off when we weren’t on the run. But if you’ve got big wrists and a bank balance to match, the Vertix 2 runs the Garmin Fenix a very close race.
