The Full Story

This matchup pits the smartest adventure watch against the longest-lasting one, and neither can replicate what the other does best. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is a wrist computer for adventurers: cellular connectivity, emergency SOS, an ocean of apps, and health sensors that rival medical equipment. It also looks stunning. But it needs charging often, and it costs a premium. The Coros Vertix 2S was designed by and for ultrarunners and mountaineers. Battery life is measured in weeks, GPS accuracy is among the best in the business, and the focus on performance over smart features means no distractions when you are deep in the mountains. It also costs significantly less. If your adventures involve cities, connectivity, and Apple devices, the Ultra 3 is the premium choice. If your adventures involve remote trails, multi-day races, and minimal distraction, Coros is the purist's weapon.
