COROS has not confirmed a Vertix 3. Given the age of the Vertix 2 line, a successor with improved multi-band satellite systems and health sensors is likely.
The COROS Vertix 2S, released October 2023, is the world's longest-lasting GPS sports watch — delivering 140 days of smartwatch battery and 140 hours of GPS navigation. Designed for expedition athletes, mountaineers, and multi-day racers who cannot charge in the field, it combines 5-satellite dual-frequency GPS, full topographic maps, and COROS's EvoLab training platform.
No other GPS watch currently on the market delivers 140 hours of GPS tracking — enough for most ultra-endurance events and multi-day mountain traverses.
GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BeiDou + QZSS with dual-frequency reduces error in challenging terrain to near-meter precision.
Military-grade scratch and impact resistance for the harshest environments: extreme altitude, cold, and sustained physical stress.
Expedition athletes, mountaineers, and ultra-endurance competitors who do multi-day or multi-week events where charging is impossible. If you need GPS tracking for 140 continuous hours, no other watch comes close.
Yes, for anyone who has regular charging access. The Vertix 2S is designed for true expedition conditions. For most runners and triathletes, the Apex 2 Pro or Pace 3 offers better value.
Vertix 2S delivers longer GPS battery (140h vs ~48h solar). Garmin Fenix 8 has a superior display (AMOLED option), more sport modes, deeper analytics, and a more established ecosystem. Both are premium expedition watches — choose COROS for raw battery, Garmin for features.
The Vertix 2S is 2.5 years old. A Vertix 3 could arrive at any time. If you need a watch for an expedition now, buy it. Otherwise check for a COROS announcement before committing.
Up to 140 hours with GPS active. In full power GPS mode with all sensors, expect 50–70 hours. In daily smartwatch use: up to 60 days. This is best-in-class battery life for an expedition GPS watch.
Yes — it has offline maps, route navigation, music storage, and can log activities without a phone present. It only needs the phone for syncing data to the COROS app and downloading new maps or routes.
