Garmin
Finally, a smartwatch that competes with my Garmin in battery life (but it’s cheaper)

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Back in 2022, I looked at the Coros Apex 2 and Apex 2 Pro , calling out their performance and build quality relative to price. Now, I’m happy to revisit the brand’s lineup with the new Apex 4 series, including two sizes of its mid-range smartwatch. I spent a couple weeks salmon fishing on the Puget Sound, trail running, hiking, walking, and rowing with the new 46mm Coros Apex 4 , and initial impressions reveal a worthy follow-up with improved mapping capability, with faster map zoom, off-course alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation to name a few features.
