What is the Vertix?The Vertix is a rugged, adventure-aimed GPS watch suitable for those chasing technical summits, partaking in ultra-marathons or simply heading out for a few days walking in the mountains. Thanks to its titanium construction and sapphire glass screen, it's one of the toughest yet lightest GPS watches available.
What is it made of?The frame and bezel is made from an exceptionally high-quality corrosion-free titanium, while the screen uses sapphire glass with a diamond-like coating for the highest level of scratch-resistance. The combination of these materials along with an almost obsessive level of detail means the Vertix is fully waterproof down to 150 metres and will operate down to -20°C. Interestingly, the Vertix is the only GPS watch available that'll still work when submerged to this depth and still maintains 70% battery retention at -20°C. COROS have tested the watch in these temperatures and it still managed an outstanding 21 hours of battery in full GPS mode. Despite all these rugged materials, the watch weighs just 54g, making it also the lightest in its class.
What are its features?Perhaps one of the most impressive features is its battery life. When acting just like a standard watch, it'll last an impressive 45 days, with full GPS it'll keep running for 60 hours (more than enough for even the most gruelling marathon) and in UltraMax mode it'll go for 150 hours. To put that into perspective, it's the longest battery life of any GPS watch on the market at this point in time.
If you plan to use the watch for high-altitude mountaineering/expeditions, you'll appreciate COROS' 24/7 blood oxygen monitoring, giving you frequent updates as to whether you should keep summiting or head back down.
If you're using the watch for anything mountainous, the chances are you'll be wearing gloves. COROS have designed the dials specifically to work with bulky gloves or mitts and can be used with just one finger for ultimate ease of use. Despite this super easy dial system, you can also use the provided touchscreen to move around menus, adjust your mapping, etc.

Night Mode – a new always-on mode for nighttime activities. While manual options still remain for quick bursts of the backlight, Night Mode leaves the backlight on for the entirety of your workout. A light bright enough so your eyes can adjust and read in the dark, but dim enough to maintain superior battery performance throughout your run or ride even needed all night long. Don’t worry, it turns off automatically when you finish your workout, or at sunrise.
