PACE 2

I recently switched from a Coros Pace 2 to a Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Saphire Solar and absolutely love it. Feels much more substantial than the Coros and battery life is awesome. The Coros battery life had severely degraded over the last 6 months.

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

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.

I will second the vote for Coros Pace series. Been rocking the Pace 2 for a few years. Durable multi sport watch. Switched from Garmin to this and never looked back. The open water swim options and GPS are also much better than the price-point rivals of the time Garmin had. (Can't speak to Garmin current Gen offerings). Will definitely be upgrading to the pace 3 if/when my 2 dies. The battery life is also phenomenal, and the watch is incredibly light, which makes it more comfortable for sleep tracking.

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.
