We found a great hiking watch — and it is not a Garmin

By Anna Gora Published 21 November 2025 In Reviews Coros may not be the biggest or most well-known brand, but it has long established itself as the maker of some of the best budget-friendly running watches . It has also successfully ventured into the world of affordable adventure watches. The Coros Apex 2 , for example, has some of the best mapping features we have seen in GPS wearables, yet it is priced at a very reasonable $349. To put that into perspective, some of the best Garmin watches with similar specifications cost twice as much.
