Why Jimmy Chin trusts COROS for his most demanding expeditions yet

IRVINE, California (May 26, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Today, COROS Wearables, makers of sports technology, announce a new partnership with world-renowned mountain athlete, photographer, and filmmaker Jimmy Chin.

Chin is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished explorers of his generation, with a career that spans high-altitude mountaineering, elite alpinism, and award-winning storytelling.

Chin’s mountaineering achievements are vast: he has completed historic climbs and ski descents around the world while collaborating with some of the most respected athletes and explorers of his generation.

His work behind the lens, including Free Solo and The Rescue, has earned global acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the leading voices in adventure and documentary filmmaking.

Chin’s ability to tell extraordinary human stories in extreme places is unparalleled – and he continues to push boundaries.

For Chin, this drive towards the unknown has always been about more than reaching the summit. It’s about preparation, decision-making, and understanding risk at the highest level.

“There’s always a point where instinct takes over. It’s built on every failure, every close call, every expedition you’ve ever been on,” Chin says. “You learn to separate the actual risk from the perceived risk. Strip away the emotion and the ego, and you’re really asking yourself clearly – what am I willing to give?”

By partnering with COROS, Chin will better integrate performance insights and outdoor navigation tools on his wrist into his expeditions, using technology to support decision-making in some of the world’s most extreme environments.

During his expeditions, Chin will rely on the COROS APEX 4, designed for durability, accuracy, and long-lasting performance in demanding conditions. With advanced GPS navigation, extended battery life, and incredible mapping, COROS technology provides the tools needed when the margin for error is at its smallest.

“At this point in my career, the tools I rely on have to be as serious as the objectives,” Chin says. “I trust COROS watches for the same reason any serious mountain athlete would. They’re built to perform in the harshest environments.”

Through this partnership, COROS and Chin will explore how data, preparation, and experience intersect to push the boundaries of human performance.

“Jimmy Chin represents a relentless drive in his approach to exploration, sport, creativity, and life,” says Lewis Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of COROS. “His journey inspires athletes and adventurers across the globe, including our entire organization, along with millions of COROS users striving to reach their own goals. We are excited to support Jimmy with the world’s best performance management system, helping him achieve even more in both his professional and athletic pursuits.”

Together, Jimmy Chin and COROS will continue to explore new frontiers – on the mountain and beyond.
