I have been using Garmin Quatix for sit-down and stand-up sailing and surfing for the last 6 years. Over this period of time, I have had to replace the watch 4 times and it looks like I have another unusable unit now. I like the Garmin OS and all the possible integrations with Navionics Charts and NMEA marine instruments, but I am thinking to give the competition a try. Anyone here using a Coros Apex, Vertex or similar? What's the verdict?

I got the coros apex pro, mostly because it is an approved gps device for gpsspeedsurfing.com
Pros: easy to get from REI, super awesome battery life compared to both my prior garmins (at least 3x), has existing speedsailing and windsurfing apps, extra long band which is good for going over a wetsuit
Cons: expensive, no community downloadable apps |

That's excellent info.
How do you like the build quality and customer support?

Seems sturdy enough.
I have had it about 3 months an no issues at all, so have not had any experience with their customer support my old garmin had corrosion in the charging port which was super annoying especially as often as it would need charging |
