Coros or Garmin - what is the right sport watch for you? In today's video, I tested both watch - wearing both during Cocodona 250 miles and Bryce Canyon 100 miles.

More specifically, I tested the Coros Vertix 2S vs. Garmin Fenix 6X. And it's important to emphasize, it's an older garmin vs. the newest coros. So let's not extrapolate beyond the experiment itself - which was to understand what kind would an upgrade mean - what's the real difference?

Because of course the coros will overperform, but by how much?

The goal here is not to review all the specs of the watches - I'm not a tech guy. I'm a trail guy - I know trail, I know what I need to finish an ultra marathon, and I know what I want in a sport watch. So don't expect going into details about specs, or the tiny tiny insignificant benefit of the watch - I'll focus on what truly matters to someone who mostly just cares about being on trail. If you want the details and specs - best to just go on their respective websites.

For transparency, this isn’t sponsored (aka I’m not paid) BUT coros provided the watch. I think it's important to be upfront about these things so you can make decision with full clarity. And hopefully the comparison provide you unbiased info as to what you can expect from such upgrade.
