    Most trusted item. Hardly ever worry about it. Literally weeks between even checking battery life because it sustains for so long.

    While it takes getting used to switching from Garmin to Coros, the Coros is great for an affordable replacement watch. I like that it will tell me elevation (whereas I never figured that out on my Garmin) and that the screens are uber customizable. The battery life is fantastic and I like it more and more each day.
