PACE 3 GPS Sport Watch

Same reason + price increases and EOL of previous models as soon as new one comes out: migrated from Fenix 7s Solar to Coros Pace 3. Actually everything is fine, the only annoying thing is the device design itself: after Fenix - Coros looks sporty and cheap. But this is not their fault: I just wanted to try the cheapest model they had, so nothing really stops from upgrading premium-to-premium: I should have chosend Apex 4 :) About lots of training data: yes and no; it's sometimes motivating to recheck your data from several years ago, but how often do you REALLY do that? In 1 month your watch in other ecosystem will also collect the data and you will have the current condition as a starting point. By the way for example Coros has the importing option, so you can just import all the HR and other data from Garmin. But from my experience - better just start fresh, the data will be more proper (probably there are some missing parameters..).

Coros pace 3, super solid and probably on sale with the pace 4 coming out.

I love my coros, I still just use the pace 3. Super competitively priced and the app is miles better than anything else I’ve used

I have both an Apple watch and a coros pace 3. I do love the coros watch as it has some really great sport specific features and the phone app has a great UI. I will say that I have kept my Apple Watch around because (for me as a woman) it’s difficult to wear the coros casually/in a professional environment and not look a little like a tool. For this reason I have actually been considering the Venu 4 as it is classed up a little.

I've just moved from a Pace 3 to a Nomad and, honestly, they're cracking pieces of kit. I've not had any issues with them since moving to Coros watches in February. For trails I would lean towards at least the Pace Pro or the Nomad/Apex 4 (they're basically the same) simply due to offline maps. Either way, Coros or Garmin, there's a device that meets your needs at a price you are willing to pay.
