COROS has released its new VERTIX 2S, the latest edition in the VERTIX series of sports watches built for adventure.
The VERTIX 2S builds on the brand’s flagship watch, offering incredibly long battery life, pinpoint GPS accuracy and durability. This hardware upgrade includes its most accurate wrist-based heart rate sensor and 118 hours of continuous GPS battery with 48 days of daily use. Innovative, new software provides unmatched GPS accuracy for outdoor climbing.
“The COROS VERTIX series has been the watch ultra-endurance athletes, climbers, and mountain enthusiasts have come to trust over the last five years,” Lewis Wu, CEO and co-founder. “The VERTIX 2S is another step to providing athletes with the ultimate adventure companion. With an upgraded heart rate sensor, GPS accuracy unmatched in outdoor activities, especially for multi-pitch climbing, the VERTIX 2S is another step to help provide athletes with the best tools possible.
Accurate data is critical for all athletes. Heart rate and GPS are the two most important data inputs that can help athletes gain insights into how they are training, recovering, and increasing fitness. COROS VERTIX 2S has COROS’ latest 5-LED and 4-photodetector optical heart rate sensor to accurately monitor heart rate during exercise and for daily wear.
Optimized GPS Algorithm
Even with dual-frequency, accurate GPS tracking for climbers tackling steep walls, chimneys, or off-width cracks has been a challenge for all GPS watch brands. COROS has taken a significant step forward with an optimized GPS algorithm for Outdoor Climb mode.
The COROS app gives insights to monitor training progress, build workouts and training plans, and create routes at no additional cost. The VERTIX 2S also includes all the standard health tracking metrics in all COROS watches. Users can monitor recovery, sleep tracking, heart rate variability, steps, calories, and more.
The latest feature update includes Screen Mirroring, Virtual Pacer and GPS optimizations for Multi-Pitch climb mode.
COROS also supports Cycling Fitness insights for rides recorded on a COROS watch. This helps users gain actionable insights on improving their performance and optimizing their training. It displays their fitness on a scale of 40-100 to better understand strengths and areas for improvement.
