COROS - Pace 1

I had a coros pace 1 and switched to Garmin 955. The garmin is way better for swimming

I’ve had and loved garmin forerunners and a coros pace. Slight preference for coros over garmin for battery life. Slight preference for garmin for multi-app interoperability.  I’m actually planning to buy an Apple Watch because it’s fine as a fitness tracker and has better health tracking capabilities on top of the fitness stuff. 

I use Form Goggles or a Coros pace watch. The Coros track well and can do structured workouts. And having access to my distance, pace, heart rate, and workout time available is really cool

For me I use Training Peaks for collecting all my data. I have a coros pace watch for tracking strength workouts, running, and open water swims. I have a garmin for riding the bike out side. On the bike I have a garmin cadence and speed attachments. And for my peddles I have polar power meters. A Tac X Neo for training on the bike inside. Form goggles for tracking my pool swims. For structuring workouts I use Training peaks for a ATP (year plan). TrainerRoad for bike workouts, Form goggles for swimming workouts. And for the strength and running I enter them into the coros watch app. I’ve gotten the gear over time. If I had to start from scratch I would just use my Coros Pace 3 to track everything and pick up one thing at a time as I got the funds.

My apple watch series 8 lasts for a whole marathon without issues That said if you want much more battery life, coros pace should do it 

I like my Coros Pace. Fantastic battery life is a killer feature.

I have a Coros watch. The batteries last forever.

Runner? Get yourself a Coros Pace.

I like my Coros Pace

The Coros Pace. I’ve had the 2 for 3 years and the battery life is still amazing. The 3 is even better apparently. Great value watch. 

My Coros Pace works great. Most smartphones should do the job too.

Hi there, I use Coros. Like you, I wanted something that would just do running, no other bells and whistles. I wanted something with accurate GPS and good battery life. It has its own app and it also sends automatically to Strava. The price point is in the 200s USD for the Pace model, which is what I use. Their customer support was awesome a couple of years ago, but just this past month I had an issue and got lost in the maze of AI robots that everyone is using. Eventually a real person showed up, but not until after I had already bought a new watch, since my marathon training cannot afford to wait for AI robots lol. FWIW, despite that, the new watch I chose was the updated version of the Coros Pace, because I still really like it. Hope that helps!

I wear a coros pace on the opposite wrist, but only when I run or go for long walks. Though I do wear a normal wrist watch most days, on the opposite wrist of my whoop

Yeah! It works well for me for most occasions, and if I’m ever dressing up and don’t want my whoop showing I’ll opt to position it on my bicep or in my bra strap against my rib cage.

COROS Pace. Best bang for your buck. Battery life is outstanding, GPS is great, all the basic functions you need, easy interface, checks all the boxes.

Basically any modern smartwatch will do this. Your axes of choice are ecosystem, battery life, and price. The basic Apple Watch will do what you want, but because you’re using the GPS, the battery will be dead mid-day. I do not recommend any Apple Watch but the Ultra for an athlete or active person because of the awful battery life. If you want something cheaper than the Ultra, I’d look at the Coros Pace and cheaper Garmin Forerunner options. They’ll both cost about half and are really good products with roughly 5-10x battery life vs the basic Apple Watch.

I've used Coros watches for about 6 years now. First a Pace and now an Apex 2 Pro. They don't have all the functions of a smart watch, but if you're concerned with accurately tracking workouts, I'd go with a Coros or Garmin. Plus, my battery lasts at least a week.

I love my coros. Does what I need a runni g watch to do and lasts days on a single charge.

Garmin (or coros) make a better running watch. Apple makes a better smart watch. If your priority is to use it for running with some additional smart watch features, go Garmin or Coros. If your priority is using your watch as an extension of your phone, go Apple.

I love my Coros as a navigation tool.  My phone very rarely comes out for navigation now.

My Coros watch has amazing battery life. I went on vacation for 10 days and knew I'd be fine not charging it.

I know I'm going to be the unpopular opinion here. I love my Coros but I've also tried Garmin and there's really not enough of a difference for me to recommend one over the other. I think it's whatever platform you're used to.

Decathlon gps900, best value Coros watch. GPS is accurate, app is great the bartery life still out lasts most watches on the market. Unless you want the very best tech, this watch is perfect.

Yes, all the major fitness watches can integrate with Runna. I use Coros and the Runna workouts sync with my watch and when I finish a run it syncs the data back to Runna!

I never regretted buying a Coros watch.

Nope, but I was researching about what watch to get a month ago. But from all I have seen, the 570 even though its new, people are still recommending the 965 instead of it since its a better value. I got COROS instead since I did not want to deal with the 2 years support life that Garmin watches get and subscription plans

I'm a runner/crossfitter and enjoy the Coros watch. The sleep tracking and HRV are more generous than my fitbit was. (I'll take it ha!))

The Coros fitness watches are very useful.

True, but my points are still valid. If Whoop have done anything that contravenes any laws they will find themselves getting challenged. If they haven’t, and I’d be surprised if their lawyers have missed any loopholes, then as I said, people can complain all they want but are left with the two options I mentioned. If they choose to leave I guarantee they will have some other issues with the platform they choose going forward. None are perfect. Good luck with whatever you do. I’ve gone with a Coros watch and the HRV4Training app. Covers all my requirements and is as streamlined as I can make it.

Yeah, my Coros doesn't seem to understand that kick sets exist. It also gets confused on sculling and some drills.
