The SATISFY COROS APEX 4 brings together two relatively young brands that have helped shape very different sides of modern running.
SATISFY launched in Paris in 2015 and spent the following decade building a technical running label with a point of view far outside traditional sportswear. Its clothing combines performance fabrics with references to music, vintage garments and outdoor culture, helping push running into a broader conversation around design and identity.
COROS came up around the same period. Founded in the mid 2010s, the company entered the GPS watch category in 2018 and quickly built its name around endurance sports, long battery life, navigation and practical training tools. The APEX line has become increasingly centered on mountain and trail running, with the APEX 4 arriving in 2025 as a watch designed for racing and training in the mountains.
Their new collaboration also marks SATISFY’s first step into performance hardware.
Rather than rebuilding the APEX 4 from the ground up, SATISFY has taken COROS’ existing platform and given it a new visual language. The watch features a crystallized black titanium bezel, an engraved case back and two interchangeable strap options in khaki nylon and green silicone.
The changes continue on screen. SATISFY created three exclusive watch faces that organize information around recovery, heart rate, weather, weekly mileage, elevation and training load. Three workouts developed with SATISFY Pro Team athlete Stian Sommerseth are included as well, giving the collaboration a direct connection to actual training.
What makes the partnership work is how clearly the roles are divided. COROS brings the technology and performance infrastructure. SATISFY brings the perspective it has spent years applying to the rest of a runner’s kit.
