The i-Run team says
Boasting an impressive list of innovations, the COROS Apex 2 watch is the dream training partner for your outdoor sports sessions. Super powerful and more reliable than ever, it helps you push your limits on every adventure.
Its next-gen heart rate sensor analyses your exertion meticulously. Equipped with a cutting-edge algorithm and capable of eliminating signal disturbances, it gives you essential information about your capabilities. The altitude mode is perfect for outings in the mountains with excellent optimisation of the data received.
The COROS Training Hub gives you access to training plans designed by professional athletes and lets you create your own. Over 200 sports are integrated to easily track your results for the day and your progress.
Get adapted recovery via monitoring of your sleep and its various phases. Measuring heart rate variability gives you an indication of your state of fitness, so you can get a better idea of how much energy you're expending.
The GPS features the All-Satellite GNSS chip for precision tracking even in the most remote environments. Maps and navigation buds can be checked without logging on to tackle all paths with total confidence.
The combination of a sapphire crystal screen and an alloy bezel guarantee exceptional robustness, designed to be put to the test. You'll enjoy 45 hours of battery life with GPS and up to 17 days with the everyday mode.

Altitude Mode
The COROS Altitude Acclimatization Evaluation System collects SpO2 data and assesses altitude acclimatization levels for climbers when the altitude is above 2500 meters. Climbers receive more quantified and precise information, along with real-time monitoring and notifications to effectively prevent altitude sickness.
When the altitude acclimatization index is between 0 and 60, climbers have low acclimatization to the current altitude. If you stay too long in this zone and experience symptoms such as headaches, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or purple discoloration of the lips, it is recommended to descend. If there is no obvious discomfort, please focus on resting.
When the altitude acclimatization index is between 61 and 80, climbers have moderate acclimatization to the current altitude. If there is no obvious discomfort, climbers can perform certain activities to better adapt. Please focus on resting if discomfort occurs.
When the altitude acclimatization index is between 81 and 100, climbers have strong acclimatization to the current altitude. If you remain in this zone without obvious discomfort, the expedition can resume.
