COROS releases limited APEX Pro 2 Chamonix Edition smartwatch

COROS Wearables Inc, a company specialising in performance sports wearables, has unveiled the Chamonix Edition of its APEX 2 Pro smartwatch, a limited run of 3,000 units. Chamonix, a French commune, is best known as a prime training and trail running location. In a press release, COROS said the limited edition smartwatch aligns with its focus on GPS sports wearables and training software for performance and adventure.

Chamonix is the entry point to Mont Blanc's rugged terrain and holds special significance as the backdrop for the prestigious UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) race, where athlete Kilian Jornet — a COROS pro athlete — has achieved multiple victories. COROS users have collectively recorded over one million metres of vertical ascent in Chamonix, the company said.

COROS said it will participate in UTMB 2023 at Chamonix with its pro athletes, including Kilian Jornet, Petter Engdahl, Ludovic Pommeret, Lucy Bartholomew, Jon Albon, Sage Canaday, and more, taking part in the race. The company will maintain a customer-focused presence at UTMB, hosting live Q&A sessions featuring athletes like Emelie Forsberg, Tim Tollefson, and Antonio Martinez.
