SATISFY and COROS Unveil First Mountain Sports Watch, Blending High-Performance Tech with Distinctive Design

In a significant move for both the performance technology and premium lifestyle sectors, SATISFY and COROS have officially launched their first-ever collaborative mountain sports watch, the APEX 4 Mountain Sports Watch. This partnership, announced on March 21, 2024, represents a pivotal moment for COROS, marking its inaugural collaboration with an apparel brand, and underscores SATISFY's expansion into high-performance gear that aligns with its distinctive cultural design ethos. The SATISFY x COROS APEX 4 is engineered to bridge the gap between demanding alpine-grade performance and a refined, aesthetically conscious design.

The watch's exterior is immediately distinguished by a unique ice-crystallized black titanium bezel, a material chosen for its robustness and sophisticated finish. This is complemented by a scratch-resistant sapphire glass cover, safeguarding a vibrant 1.3-inch always-on MIP (Memory-in-Pixel) touchscreen display, ensuring readability in various lighting conditions. Weighing a mere 52 grams with its included nylon band, the 46mm watch case is designed for comfort and resilience, featuring reinforced lugs that enhance its durability on challenging mountain terrain. To cater to diverse user needs and preferences, the APEX 4 comes bundled with two versatile straps: a khaki nylon band subtly woven with the SATISFY wordmark, reflecting the brand's identity, and a high-performance green silicone strap engineered specifically for wet conditions and high-output physical activities.

Beyond its robust hardware, SATISFY has infused the watch with exclusive digital elements. Three custom watch faces have been developed: 'Physical Overview,' 'Training Overview,' and 'Environment Conditions,' offering users tailored data visualization. Furthermore, the watch pre-loads three custom training sessions, meticulously crafted by Stian Sommerseth, a recognized SATISFY Pro athlete, providing users with expert-guided workouts. Internally, the APEX 4 leverages COROS's proven performance suite, powered by the efficient Ambiq Apollo 510 processor. Key features include advanced dual-frequency GPS navigation with access to free global maps, specialized modes for climbing, voice tagging for easy note-taking during activities, and an extensive array of sensors. This comprehensive sensor suite comprises an optical heart rate monitor, SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) sensor, ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor for heart health insights, a dual-range barometer for altitude and weather tracking, a water depth sensor, and a digital compass.

Engineered for endurance, the APEX 4 boasts an impressive battery life, delivering up to 65 hours in Endurance GPS mode and 53 hours in High GPS mode, ensuring it can withstand extended expeditions. Additional functionalities enhance its utility, including built-in dual speakers, a microphone for hands-free calls, crucial off-course and weather alerts, and comprehensive recovery tracking tools that monitor sleep patterns, heart rate variability (HRV), and overall wellness metrics. The SATISFY x COROS APEX 4 Mountain Sports Watch is available for purchase through the official channels of both brands, retailing at $520 USD, positioning it as a premium offering in the competitive sports watch market.
