A top-tier backcountry GPS watch with excellent battery life, reliable accuracy and strong offline mapping at a more reasonable price, though a little bulky.

The reviewer's favorite Coros watch of the year and a strong lower-priced Garmin alternative for hikers, with accurate GPS, offline maps and battery, minus some premium extras.
Read Android Central review - 89est.Wareable
A fantastic mid-range adventure watch with great battery, offline maps and accurate GPS in a tough, light build; the missing flashlight and AMOLED are sensible trade-offs.

A durable, long-lasting, feature-rich adventure watch that is a bargain, best suited to trail and ultra runners and somewhat much for road runners.
