HRV Tracking

COROS measures HRV during sleep and provides morning readiness assessments. Track sleep stages, recovery status, and training load without any ongoing fees. The data syncs to the COROS app and can export to third-party platforms.

Battery life is COROS's standout feature. The Vertix 2S offers up to 60 days in watch mode, and even the budget Pace 4 lasts 19 days. This means continuous overnight HRV tracking without charging anxiety.
