French label Satisfy is to running apparel what Coros is to running watches. Both brands have gone from niche player to firm favorite in less than a decade. Founded in Paris in 2015, Satisfy makes high-performance gear from custom fabrics. While Coros launched its first GPS watch, the PACE Multisport GPS, in May 2018. Today, it produces some of the best GPS watches, heart rate monitors and training software for endurance athletes. Coros’ APEX 4 is their flagship mountain sports watch, built for alpine running, ski touring and technical climbing. And now, Satisfy and Coros are linking up for an exclusive edition of the Apex 4.
Each Satisfy Coros Apex 4 smartwatch features a 46 mm black titanium bezel with a singular ‘ice-crystal’ pattern. The crystalline pattern forms during a controlled heating and cooling process. So the direction and density of the pattern is unique to each watch. For the screen, Coros engineered the 1.3-inch always-on display to read clear in sun, snow or shadow. It delivers sixty-five hours of pinpoint GPS on a single charge. The interface features three exclusive Satisfy-designed watch faces. Each face focuses on specific components of the running experience. Surfacing only the data that is needed. The Physical Overview reads the body at a glance: distance, heart rate, recovery and calories on a single screen. The Environment Overview reads the conditions before the first step outside: temperature, rainfall, humidity and UV exposure. The Training Overview pulls back to the week as a whole: distance covered, elevation gained and recovery status.
The Satisfy Coros Apex 4 is a limited-edition. Each watch is delivered in custom packaging with both a silicone and nylon band in the ‘burnt olive’ colorway.
