Very good review. Straight to the point, no mess no fuss. Subscribed. Have a Garmin Forerunner 55 at the moment. Coros still uses MIP displays which is great.
Not being able to transfer playlists from Spotify like is supported even in the most basic Garmin watches is outrageous. The Apex 2 offers so little over the Pace 2 for nearly twice the price.
Yeah I agree it’s a big miss, but I guess the main focus is on the tracking features of the watch. Maybe other features will come in time. They are still a relatively new company don’t forget, especially compared to Garmin.
No ANT+, somewhat lower battery life, unusable pre-2010 mp3 music transfer from PC, and maps navigation (as opposed to breadcrumbs navigation) is what costs $150 more compared to Pace 2. If the Apex 2 supported streaming music and payments like comparably priced Garmin models do, it would be worth it.
I think comparing it to the Pace 2 just shows how good value that watch is. I always recommend that for value and a lot of people don’t care about music I’ve found.
