"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"

"especially because of the battery life. ... The mouse I had right before this was the steelseries super light one, that was an every other day charge at minimum. Whereas this one is like once a week at most - and I work from home and game all night."
"offers significantly better battery life ... insane battery life"
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"GPS is way better, on the same track, the Samsung "lost" about 100m after each lap"
"In the end, my running results are much more accurate. ... Over my last three runs, this is what I've achieved compared to the Coros Pace Pro: - 10.51 km and 333 elevation gains (Watch3) - 10.60 km and 344 elevation gains (Coros) - 20.01 km and 630 elevation gains (Watch3) - 20.04 km and 663 elevation gains (Coros) - 21.20 km and 208 elevation gains (Watch3) - 21.09 km and 218 elevation gains (Coros) ... In the end, the GPS track matches my route much better, and the distances are more than accurate. ... So I think the watch is perfectly adequate for amateur running."
"It has been extremely accurate with location and distance tracking. ... It’s been very accurate with paddling"

"had coros pace 2 for 5 years never once an issue"
"I think it is mainly for running, and does running great, and I don't need it for anything else, so it's perfect for me."
"I wanted something with accurate GPS"

"Improved swimming mode allows you to monitor your progress as you swim. ... The app syncs well with Health Connect (Google Fit) and actually syncs my swims as swims, not walking. ... The swim tracking seems accurate and the device is responsive immediately after getting out the pool."
"love it for counting laps"
"The coros was far more accurate in open water."

"wtf no time settings in a watch?"
"google's software features and fit-and-finish is lacking for their watch ... there is no option on a pixel watch to just automatically turn on the screen when a notification comes in to view the notification; you have to manually interact with it by either tapping the screen within a few seconds or lift-to-wake the watch, which is very unreliable ... that actually was a dealbreaker for me"
"it does not show new notifications as they come in without some sort of manual action ... unless you tap the screen or lift your wrist when you get the vibration, you don't get to see anything ... 75% of the time my pw2 wouldn't recognize a wrist-raise gesture, so I'd miss whatever the new notification was"

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

"glass has unglued just a few months after warranty ended and it couldn't be repaired."
"cracked the screen of the coros watch ... it was the second time in 4 years that the screen got cracked"
"Had it replaced on the final few days of warranty due to burnt screen"

"I expected autonomous flight modes like in the flip. For me it has been an absolute disappointment. ... Autonomous flight modes in the style of the flip or the Neo would have been a real leap in quality but DJI has not wanted to include them (in my opinion, wrongly) so as not to step on the markets of those other drones. ... I had been waiting for this improvement for a year and now that I see that DJI has completely ignored us, I have to say that I will return the device because it seems to me that it is worth going from 4 to 5 paying the extra cost that it entails. ... They even put the side button with that functionality in mind and then they regretted it. It is something that could be perfectly included in software, but they simply don't want to because they take us for fools and want to make fun of us. ... (Adding this functionality does not mean increasing a single gram of weight, it is simply adding it via software but they have not been able to listen to us)"
"could barely survive a sub-24 race without any navigation. ... It's so much nicer to not have to choose between not gpx files or recharging during the race."
"big advantage to a head unit over the watch is being able to load and follow a route easily. ... I only use the watch for rides where I absolutely know where I’m going."

"I sold my Coros Pace 2 because my ageing eyes had issues with the MIP display on the smaller screen"
"Lily active 2 was hard to read"
"At certain angles in direct sunlight, it can be hard to read due to the etched lens and the grayscale font."
Pace 2 gang since 2021 as well. The only other thing I long for is proper GPS since it's only breadcrumb but otherwise has been perfect since day 1.
r/AdvancedRunning • How often do you replace your running watch? ->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.
r/XXRunning • What fitness tracking watch do you use? ->Garmin and Coros are the top of the industry for heart rate and fitness watches. Frankly Apple Watches aren’t even comparable. That being said there has been some research that shows heart rate wrist monitors on these watches aren’t accurate all the time. The new ones with the latest technology seem to be pretty damn accurate in my experience. If you’re interested in heart rate training I highly suggest a garmin or coros and then pair it with a chest monitor. You can get a chest monitor and pair it to your watch for like $75-150 bucks but like the watch it should last years. Smart watches are not BIFL IMO
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best smart watch to get accurate heart and oxygen rates? ->Coros Pace 2 or Pace 3. Very satisfied with this watch
r/xcountryskiing • Smart Watches in Cold Weather ->I have a coros pace 2 that does the job well, and I stopped using it as much cause I got a pair of Form goggles. It is very nice to have a display I can see while I swim
r/Swimming • Wearable devices for swim tracking ->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
r/Swimming • Swim watches? ->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.
r/triathlon • What’s your tracking/device setup for training as a triathlete? ->I’ll second Coros Pace 2, love it for counting laps
r/Swimming • Best simple watch to count laps? ->I love my Coros as a navigation tool. My phone very rarely comes out for navigation now.
r/Ultralight • So many new watches. Which watch is best for backpacking? ->If you do any treadmill running, Coros handles those better. The Pod 2 is quite accurate, and if you chose to enter the treadmill distance at the end of a run Coros recalculates the distance/pace for all your splits. Garmin only modifies the total distance for calibrations made after ending your run.
r/Coros • Coros Pace Pro or Forerunner 965? ->My coros pace 2 smart watch counts laps. Before smart watches I used to use a lap counter that attached to my finger and I'd press a button every lap. There are a whole bunch in the $20-40 range. Make sure it's waterproof and look at reviews. Here's one [https://www.yourswimlog.com/best-swim-lap-counters/](https://www.yourswimlog.com/best-swim-lap-counters/)
r/Swimming • Best simple watch to count laps? ->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
r/runninglifestyle • Ideal Running Watch for Marathon? ->My Coros watch has amazing battery life. I went on vacation for 10 days and knew I'd be fine not charging it.
r/smartwatch • Best smartwatch with decent battery life ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
