COROS Teams Up With SATISFY To Release a $520 Watch

A special edition of the COROS APEX 4 designed with SATISFY, the running clothing brand based in Paris, reached both companies’ websites Friday at 4 p.m. CET priced at $520, or $41 above the standard 46mm APEX 4, a markup of 8.6 percent for changes that sit entirely on the outside.

The $41 pays for a titanium bezel in a crystallized black finish and two straps, one khaki nylon carrying the SATISFY name in its weave, the other green silicone. Three watch faces drawn by SATISFY come loaded, named on SATISFY’s product page as Physical Overview, Environment Overview and Training Overview, along with three workouts assembled with Stian Sommerseth, a runner on SATISFY’s professional team: Hill Efficiency, Critical Velocity and Tempo Trail. COROS is selling the edition in one case size, 46mm.

Under the sapphire glass sits the APEX 4 that COROS has sold since Oct. 15, 2025: an always-on 1.3-inch memory-in-pixel screen, dual-frequency GPS, an ECG sensor for heart rate variability, 65 hours of tracking in the endurance GPS setting, and the mapping COROS has extended to AllTrails routes. The internals are those of the $479 watch.

The brands say this is the first time COROS has worked with an apparel company. Its earlier special editions carried athletes’ names and similar markups: the PACE 4 Jakob Ingebrigtsen Fearless Edition went on sale in May at $289 against $249 for the standard PACE 4, and the PACE 2 Molly Seidel Edition arrived in November 2022 at $249. The APEX line has made its case on long battery life for less money than its rivals charge.

“I’ve trusted the APEX on my own runs for years. That came first; the collaboration came later,” said Brice Partouche, the founder and creative director of SATISFY, in the announcement.

SATISFY’s product page showed the watch out of stock on Saturday, a day after it went on sale, and neither company has published a production figure. At $520 it is the most expensive APEX 4 that COROS lists, above the $479 46mm model and the $429 42mm.
