"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)."

"I love my Venu 3, found my way easily, very intuitive."
"I can fill in weight between sets and adjust anything else in the connect app afterwards."

"a $100 strap without a subscription is giving almost identical readings… across all the genres. ... I’ve noticed a 2% discrepancy at most. Majority of the time they’re the same."
"~90% of Whoop 5’s performance at just a fraction of the price."
"Biggest win for me is no subscription hell (one time purchase for 99$)"

"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"

"the maps on the pace 3 lack a bit of detail ... I’ve taken a few wrong turns when there’s lots of paths to pick from!"
"Thurs right - just a blue and a red line to indicate the route and the path you're taking. ... For looking at the wider area/connecting trails etc I just use the phone as the screen is larger"

"the Garmin is far worse from a smartwatch perspective ... my AWU2’s cellular connectivity is above and beyond the thing I care most about on long, remote runs."
"if you have to take your phone anyway, there's a much better device on you for making calls. ... apple watches can have sim cards and place calls *without* having your cellphone on you. that's a real use case -- go for a run, leave the bulky phone at home."
"I missed it's smart capabilities"

"It also gets confused on sculling and some drills."

"Notifications are also useless—you’ll get an alert, but it just says something vague like “2 notifications from WhatsApp.” Even if you manage to read a message, it cuts off halfway."

12panel 1.0You dont have to run to use the coros system. The pace pro is functional really no different from the other models in the brand for the most part (pace pro has the amoled screen and less rugged than the more expensive models). It will absolutely be useful to show trends and measurements, however to monitor hr in real time during non activities would require changing the default setting and use more battery and you might not be super impressed with the sleep phases (no consume brands are 100 on that though) so its ok. Coros targets runners b/c i think thats the biggest market for sport watches and everything else is likely a big drop in share, as well as accuracy and modeling.
Ambassador-Plenty 1.0coros pace pro! does everything a garmin does for a fraction of the price
Apprehensive-Unit764 1.0Garmin seems to stop supporting their watches with new features within around 18 months of release. Also with the new Garmin connect subscription service, who knows how many things they will decide to lock behind a paywall in the future. The Coros Pace Pro processor is also better than the one in the FR--lots of people complain about the Garmin lagginess when moving around the maps. And for me personally, I'm trying not to support any US based companies due to the current administration.
AtomicDorito 1.0I'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.
Ben_M31 1.0I got a Coros pace pro, it's been brilliant. If I had to get a new one today I'd probably go for the Coros pace 3, 90% of the features and everything I need for just over half the price.
They are a Chinese owned brand, if that matters. I have found it to be really accurate and reliable and a huge improvement on my old Fitbit charge 4. They undercut the market, which is good because the price of some of the other brands watches is kind of insane. And there is no need for a subscription or anything. The data that is available, dashboards etc. are all in the app and don't need any additional money to be paid to access them. At least not yet. I would recommend them, but obviously do your research and make a decision. DC rainmaker is a YouTuber who seems fairly reliable and makes good reviews videos. Though to be honest, it's kind of hard to go wrong. Whatever is your budget, whatever brand you go with. Especially if you're new to it, it is highly probable that you will only use a fraction of the features available so you'll be satisfied with whatever you go with I think. The build quality of the pace pro is good, lots of different watch faces to pick from, feels really premium. Had it a few months now and I'm happy with it. Should last a few years.
Oh and the battery life, I rarely charge more than once every 10 days if I'm really active. 2+ weeks if not using the gps on runs/cycles
blueyogurteater 1.0Plus 1 for Coros. Charge every 3 weeks. Lots of other great functions too and easily pairs with Strava, ride with gps etc. I have the pace pro
CastorTerror 1.0I have owned two Garmin watches, including currently an Epix Pro. If I had to do it over again I would have saved my money and gotten a Coros Pace Pro.
Coco3085 1.0Go with a Coros pace pro…great gps…great map features…great battery…and I bought mine through Coros with my HSA…didn’t cost me a thing…my son uses a Garmin Enduro 3 and he loves it…
…a lot of watches have problems tracking accurately indoors…my son ran indoor track…we went with a Coros pace pro for their GPS ability…now we all use them…and swimming inside…our pace pro is very accurate…the lower price farming we have had where not…165 and 265 owners…
CuriousPotato81 1.0I have the Coros Pace Pro. I got the refurbished version and it looks totally new. Was under $300 with tax. I haven’t had it long but it seems pretty good.
Dazzling_Taste2382 1.0Additionally, Coros Pace Pro have True Map navigation and also have "Phone mirroring" which the latter can be used as alternative for Bike computer but also can be used for Running / Trekking if you want bigger screen. I believe this is one edge of Coros vs Garmin.
