Long shorts?

#MexicanGreetings everyone!
I'm looking for some nice long shorts to take in my 100k ultras. Looking for 10" or longer and lined if possible. Any other weirdos like me that can help me out?

TIA

Apex 4 + Vertix ? or Pace 4 Black Crystal + Vertix ?

#MexicanGreetings everyone! Here's my problem and why I'm asking for your enlightened input 😎
I'm a runner that basically does marathons and ultras. Currently trying to PR my marathon and then do my second 100k for the year.
I have plans of doing an Ironman in about 2 years, but next year I am doing a 100 miler if everything goes well...now the good part!
I currently train with the Pace 3 (hell of a watch for something that looks like a toy 🤣) paired to my Armband HRM and the Pod 2. I want to add to my Coros arsenal and prep for future updates, so I've decided to pull the trigger on 2 watches; one this year and the other one next year.

I love how Coros isn't trigger happy in watch updates and constantly works on the app plus the whole training part which is technically easier than going into Garmin.

Which watch should I get first (I have already decided on the next Vertix 😛) but I want to know if:

  1. Should I get the Pace 4 Black Crystal or the Apex 4 (AMOLED is not a thing I care that much about but I do enjoy it)

  2. If I wear two or three watches will the metrics count towards my training or am I going to be looking at 139 steps on Pace 3 and then 13000 on the Pace 4 and then 45 on the Apex or do they all get mixed and I get only one count?

TIA!

Best Tracker for me? Day 2 Long Run

This time I decided to use the AWU3 to see how Whoop worked with that. I also forgot to use my Coros watch to sleep because I am getting a bit annoyed by all the tracker wearing. One thing is starting to show...Whoop isn't reliable for light brown skin colored individuals even on the bicep 😛, BUT at least the average HR was spot on!

Best tracker for me? Day 1

Here's the deal. I decided to share my data from various trackers just in case someone is wondering.
Garmin Enduro 3 paired to Coros HRM (Because we all know by now that wrist based monitoring sucks)
Coros Pace 3 paired to HRM and Pod 2
Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro paired to Helio strap
Whoop 5.0 on an arm sleeve.
Light brown colored Mexican man, 47 years old and about 80 kilos and 1.71 mts tall.
But why?! Because I am looking for an ecosystem that can give me everything:
Great training data and easy to analyze even for noobs (which I surely am)
Easy way to track sleep without being annoying
Basic notification on watch whenever I use it but not tied to using the damn thing 24/7 on my wrist.

Result of the day:

Whoop sucks even on the bicep 🤣 since I have never hit that high of a heart rate and the Easy run didn't even have a random bear attack that would explain that spike 🫠
