| COROS | Sports Watches

COROS is a trailblazing brand in wearable sports technology. Founded in 2016, COROS has quickly carved out a name for itself as one of the leaders in this field among Garmin, Suunto and Polar.

Driven by a passion for outdoor sports, COROS hardware engineers initially developed smart cycling helmets that kept their riders connected with music playback and hands-free calling, and confident with integrated safety and navigation features. The evolving company has since turned its focus to specialising in GPS sport watches and fitness trackers, designed for those who demand more from every run, ride and rugged mountain expedition.

This pivot of COROS to wrist-based tech was game-changing for performance-oriented athletes across the globe. 2018 was a key turning point of the brand when Lewis Wu - an avid hiker and climber - joined COROS as CEO. He had been captivated by the data-driven potential of wearable tech, which nurtured within him a new-found enthusiasm for running.

His leadership at COROS inspired a new direction - with a focus on creating products that surpassed the current market in performance and precision - especially in the realms of long battery life and GPS accuracy. He helped spearhead the release of the original COROS Pace GPS multisport watch, alongside the COROS Apex and exploration-worthy COROS Vertix which featured an outstanding 60 hour battery life. These launches solidified COROS’ place in the running community, appealing to athletes from track and trail runners to ultra runners.

The evolution of COROS continued at a rapid pace with the COROS Pace 2 launching in 2020 - the lightest GPS sports watch at the time - combining featherweight comfort with top-of-the-line training features and tracking capabilities. This milestone coincided with COROS’ partnerships with elite athletes including Eliud Kipchoge, Emma Coburn and Desiree Linden.

Each generation of new COROS GPS watch continues to be built on the feedback of the COROS community to push the limits of multisport performance - meeting the exacting standards of professionals while remaining accessible to weekend warriors and outdoor enthusiasts alike. They have also released an award-winning COROS heart rate monitor in their pursuit of crafting innovative technology to support your fitness ambitions. 

Reinforcing its long-term commitment to both customers and the planet, COROS launched a repair service in 2025, aimed at extending product lifespan and reducing environmental impact. Whether you're striving for a 5K personal best, racing at your next marathon or navigating mountain trails, COROS supports every step of your journey. 

COROS watches are more than fitness trackers; they are sophisticated training tools that help you understand your body and environment. Health-focused metrics such as heart rate monitoring, sleep quality analysis and calorie expenditure allow users to fine-tune their recovery, track performance over time and make smarter decisions about training intensity. 

Simultaneously, many COROS GPS watches capture detailed environmental data including route tracking, elevation gain, pace and distance - all made possible through advanced satellite connectivity that ensures accuracy across diverse terrains and altitudes. With breadcrumb-style navigation and route mapping features, you are empowered to explore new paths while staying safe and informed. This comprehensive suite of metrics not only enhances athletic performance but also nurtures confidence and curiosity in outdoor exploration.

From sleeping under the stars to scaling alpine heights, COROS seamlessly blends these advanced performance characteristics with rugged durability in many of their sports watches. With top-tier build quality, water resistance and materials made to withstand the elements, these adventure-ready COROS watches are ready for wherever your path leads.

Not sure which COROS sports watch fits your goals? The COROS Apex is ideal for hiking, camping, trail running and multisport athletes, whereas the feature-rich COROS Vertix series is your go-to companion for extreme explorations in the harshest conditions, offering robust design and endurance features. If you prefer a lighter and budget-friendly timepiece and fitness tracker in one, the COROS Pace series is a natural fit for everyday wear, training and road racing - like having a personal trainer on your wrist to help guide and motivate you.
