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.
Coros Pace 2 or Pace 3. Very satisfied with this watch
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
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.
I use a coros pace 2. It has been a great addition to my swim training.The swim mode is well developed. It records distance correctly, most of the time. The only issue could be that it does not record drills correctly so I do not use it for that. It is very simple to use and has a great app. It is mostly a running watch, but works really well in the gym and has lots of other training modes. I use it to record training distance and pace.I do not structure workouts in the app to follow them on the watch because I swim in a club with a coach. I do not think swim training needs much more, e.g. swolf and stroke rate, are good to know but I do not see the use during training. Outside the pool the watch behaves very good and does almost everything similar watches do with the best battery life in its category. That was one of the buying arguments for me. The down side of this model is that it will no longer receive firmware updates after 4 years. The Pace 3 and Pace pro improve on the pace 2. I bought my father a pace 3 and plan to buy a pace pro before the end of the year.
same coros pace 2 from 2021. A little less battery and coros stopped firmware updates. But it is a great watch. I use it for swimming, indoor cycling and strength training. It is my daily driver , I sleep with it to track sleep and use the vibrating alarm to wake me up and not my wife. When it dies I plan on getting the pace pro.
I loved my coros pace 2. It was prettier than my garmin instinct 2, which i just got because I cracked the screen of the coros watch. I thought about replacing with the pace 3, but it was the second time in 4 years that the screen got cracked.
Anything in particular you do to look after it? I recently replaced my pace 2 after 4 years as the crown had stopped working, worried I possibly didn't rinse it out properly after open water swimming. Was a bit disappointed to replace it as it was otherwise working fine
I have a coros pace 2 that was $200 when I bought it 4 years ago. Super long battery life, great for triathlons. App has a lot of features that I don't use if you are into tracking everything. Also very lightweight watch. Looks like they have a new version. Bit above your budget, but I use my watch everyday for years so its worth it in my opinion. I don't think you'll find a comparable watch for the price.
Pace 3 user here. I started with the Pace 2 when they 1st came out and went to the 3 after a bike wreck left the 2 smashed. Overall Coros has been amazing. It does everything I need and tons I don't. I didn't want a smart watch, so it works well.
I use a head unit for most rides, but I do have a coros pace 2 that I track commutes with. I like it a lot. Battery life is really good, and I use it for other workouts like gym and running. I did forget my wahoo head unit for a race over the weekend and I was able to use my watch to record the race and keep an eye on my power and HR without issue. And I won one of the races I did with the watch… so +1 for that I guess?
I’ll say, 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 have a Coros Pace 2 and really like it for cycling
I’ve been using COROS pace 2 for about 2.5 years Had it replaced on the final few days of warranty due to burnt screen and got a brand new sent over and it’s being going on strong This watch has all that I need and more as a cyclist and runner. It doesn’t have a triathlon mode or Atleast I’m not sure how to set it yet but the battery life on this watch is superb. So far I’ve not experience any software issue, sync issue to Corus app or strava Budget wise, it’s pretty cheap when i first got it tho I’ve not check on the latest ones as this watch just refuses to die
