Title: Lovely running watch.
Review: This watch has been a great addition to my running routine. I’m training for a marathon and decided I should start tracking workouts with more precision. This watch gets it done.It is extremely customizable. You can select a variety of faces, and colors. Even create your own. You can customize up to 5 screens of workout data to cycle through during training. And these screens can be further broken down from 1-5 metrics per screen.It’s incredibly light weight and durable. The battery life is very impressive, I track 5-6 activities a week with it. I’ve had the watch for 3 weeks now and have only charged it twice. One was the initial charge.Durability again cannot be overstated. I am a welder so I have a physically demanding dirty job. I wear this daily, no scratches or gouges to be found. I did get a little bit of discoloration on the body of the watch but this is not physical damage to the case rather some product from work that stuck to it.You can upload a variety of workouts and link it to TrainingPeaks and add custom training plans to the watch as well which is cool.It syncs incredibly quickly, never had any issues. The gps is accurate it seems very reliable. I do get some drift here and there but nothing too major.That said there are some things I dislike, the menu is not very intuitive. Once I learned it I’m able to navigate through the menus easier but that’s not too big of a deal.The charging port is interesting, you really have to snap the plug in to charge it.The band it comes with fits me but I can barely get my hand through, I wish the material were ever so slightly stretchier, however this is probably contributing the the great durability for such a lightweight device.The music storage is a joke, you have to plug it into a computer and manually upload mp3 files to the watch so I have not tried to use it and never will.Lastly there is a metronome feature, which I like to have to hit specific cadences, however it beeps very quietly and the vibrations can hardly be felt. I focus more on listening than actually on my cadence so I doubt I’ll use that function too often.$229 for the standard and $249 for the special edition. This feels like an incredible bargain. I would buy it again. If you’re just starting out in running or looking for something to upgrade from a Fitbit I would highly recommend the pace 3. If you run more trails and unfamiliar routes, I would go with the Apex 2 because it’s navigation and maps are more detailed.

Title: Great Functionality @ sensible price
Review: After 2 weeks I am still very happy with my purchase. After half a dozen activity trackers and "smart" watches -- I finally found something I am totally satisfied with. The battery life is great, the interface is good—seamless integration with STRAVA.I thought I might not like that light weight and it might feel cheap. It is light, but the buttons and strap feel good and high quality and I now love the fact that it is so light.And for the price, the Pace 3 cannot be beaten. It is the best in its class.

Title: Lightweight and powerful
Review: I forget I have it on because it is so lightweight. Lots of metrics and dual band GPS option. Unbelievable battery life. Lots of customizable watch faces. Great value! I use it with the heart rate monitor and pod2 for 5 mile runs. I also use Mighty device for music.

Title: Works great
Review: I've been a fitbit and Apple Watch user for MANY years. The fitbit just didn't work for me for features I wanted as I had started to do a lot of biking and running and I wasn't able to easily see the features I wanted at a glance. After a bunch of research, I found this watch to be highly accurate, clear to see in daylight and indoors in moderate lighting. I had a 10k coming up.... my first and the Pace 3 wasn't out yet and wasn't going to arrive in time, so I decided to try the Pace 2. The user interface is nearly identical to the Pace 2 as I found out later. But the Pace 2 screen is not nearly as easy to read under low light conditions. It's not quality, but rather a different screen tech that just doesn't work great in daylight as much as I wanted. Also, when I ran through tall building areas, it completely lost my pace. It would show a pace many minutes different than what I felt I was running at. The Pace 3 doesn't have this much of a problem as it uses multiple GPS channels to compensate. I returned the Pace 2 and went with the Pace 3. Here are my pro's and cons about this watch.Pro's1) Accurate heart rate better than fitbit, but not as good as Apple watch. (using polar H10 chest strap) as comparison2) GPS routes work well on run and bike. Works much better than Pace 2.3) The price can't be ignored for what you get compared to Garmin, Polar, Fitbit, Polar. It's too good a price.4) Love the nylon strap. I work on a laptop all day and the silicon strap buckle part digs into my wrist for nearly any watch and makes me constantly taking it off in serious work moments. The Apple watch and this nylon straps don't have that problem for me. Also the strap is really comfortable.5) Some say the watch lightness makes it feel cheap. I can see how that would be felt. But after multiple hits on the bars and hard bumps on the site of weight machines only to see the watch with no scratches or bumps, I don't think you'll see a problem with the sturdiness like I have. also, the plastic manufacturing makes the watch feel unusually light for a sports watch. Love that.6) Customizable screens to show heart rate, pace, total time, and other stuff for more or less of what you want to see for each sport. For biking I like to see elevation and time and heart rate. For running, heart rate, pace and total time are the keys for me and choosing more stats or less makes the numbers bigger or smaller depending on what you want to fit. Perfect for me and a feature competitive with other sports watches of much higher price points. Fitbit and Apple just suck at this customizable optionality.7) The phone app is really well done to show recovery, heart rate, work out details and syncs well with the watch.8) Allows for multiple bluetooth connections. I use a polar h10 chest strap heart rate monitor and the watch connects well and will therefore have the Polar H10 heart rate override the heart rate. I use the Polar over the Coros heart rate just because I want the most accurate heart rate. No watch in the industry can compete with the chest strap. For casual runs or bike rides, I depend solely on the Coros alone. For high intensity instant reaction.. I'm just picky and prefer the best. Having said that, I would put the Coros at a 9 out of 10 on accuracy. So I'm not overlooking the Coros at all for the heart rate reliability on accuracy.9) The battery life is hella good. 1 week to 1 1/2 weeks with no need to charge is great. Compare that to the Apple watch 1 1/2 - 2 day need to recharge.Con1) the music part as advertised is bologne. You have to literally copy the MP3's to the watch like it's USB stick. No spotify, apple music or etc connection capability at all.2) Temperature for the watch is only for swimming. I does not record body temperature. So you'll only get external water temp for the feature.3) No HRV. Have to get the next tier Coros watch for that. I never used it.. but it does bug me a bit not to have it. And the Coros App has the feature showing on the phone as a blank section which always nags me a bit that I don't have that data. There is a clear statement that HRV is available with the watch.4) the app has this running fitness section that shows predicted time your current performance would forecast for 5k to marathon pacing. But it only updates it with outdoor running and no treadmill running. That's a bummer.Overall, this watch doesn't have glaring cons. If I had more money, I would have gone up a level. But truthfully that would have perhaps got me HRV, longer battery life and better screen. But I'm happy with the Pace 3 screen and battery life. So. Unless I have a lot of extra cash or get the better coros as a gift. I'm loving this watch.Honestly, I'm so blown away by sports watches for athletes. I had only known fitbit features and this Coros like Garmin just blows away what I experienced for features in the fitbit lifestyle type watches. Sports watches are worth it for athletes or people doing regular workouts and make serious efforts to track progress.{Dec 10 2023} UpdateStill love the watch. Here are some lessoned learned about the watch though.1) The web browser use has a calendar activity area to pre-plan workouts which initially seemed great. You get reminders and planned forecast of fit level for doing this. But it has some issues in this feature that force me to no longer use it. #1: if you go longer or shorter than planned on a treadmill workout, it won't recalibrate the mileage or allow you to recalibrate distance. What I mean is it won't let you manually adjust treadmill distance with what it says onto the watch for minor adjustment. If you do a manual workout, it will let you adjust.2) I enjoy the stickman graphic on the phone app to show me recovery and showing me how recovered I am.3) The battery life continues to amaze me. I like the warnings it gives me when battery is running low.4) The case continues to show it's resiliance. I've banged it so many times and I don't see a scratch.5) I find the screen easy to read indoor and outdoor at all times of the day. And I require reading glasses. There are 65-70% of the watch faces I can't use cuz the font is too damn small as I don't have the glasses. There are so many watch faces to chose from. Love that.6) I use the fabric band and I never take it off in shower, jacuzzi or bath. It dries rather quickly and doesn't bother me.{Dec 22, 2023 Update}Recent firmware update did the following1) Added HRV which nullifies my comments earlier. Great news.2) Removed the annoying lock symbol smack in the middle of the screen that would show every time you want to look at the time. They moved it out of the way and to the side. Good work Coros.3) Added weather forecast.Still loving the watch.Coros, if you're reading this. Please add the ability to have the Coros app show live HR on the Coros app so that it can show while I have the Coros app running front and center on my phone while on the treadmlll. Fitbit, Polar, Garmin all do that.. why not yours? Also, add the ability to control how long the watch fades to lower brightness after first glancing the watch. For those of us that are older that need reading glasses... the fonts are just too small on 85% of the watchface options.

Title: Great watch for fitness
Review: Been using this watch for ~3 month. logged many activities on it.Things I really like:- Good battery life If you do an activity everyday you get around 7-8 of battery life.- Activity focus: this watch is built around activities and focused on them with no additional apps/gimmicks.- Integrates with external sensors like heart rate monitor/power meter.- GPS is pretty good.- I use it also for music.- Fairly compact and lightweight not as bulky as garmin watches.- Music playback with airpods works flawlessly.- App has been very smooth to use and exports to strava/training peaks and pulls from training peaks as well.Things I wish could be better:- Transferring files / music is really slow.- Material could be a bit better/more premium. Would've appreciated having metal accents/buttons but I get this is coros's cheapest offering.All in all I am pretty happy with this watch

Review: Llevo una semana de uso con el reloj y la verdad. E ha gustado mucho lo cómodo que es. No pesa mucho y eso ayuda a la sensación de que no traes nada.Las funciones son las esenciales pero completas.La app es muy completa y me gustó que puedes descargar planes de entrenamiento.El único pero que le pongo es la correa. Al ser de tela (nylon) y velcro, siento que se maltratará mucho al estar poniendo y quitando con el tiempo. Opté por comprarle una correa de silicón (22 mm) para poder usarla en natación.Yo lo uso para senderismo, natación, ,ciclismo y correr.Vengo de un suunto 9 Baro y la verdad me he sentido cómodo con el Coros.Lo recomiendo.

Review: It’s light weight, battery lasts a long time, watch face is highly customizable - you see the data you want to see for your activity and the app is clean and easy to use. I have an Apple Watch but the constant need to charge it was really inconvenient. If you’re getting into activities to drop weight for high blood pressure, cholesterol control, and planning to do zone 2 training like me then this is a great watch to look into. I’m 57 male 170 pounds. I walk, slow run 18-20 km a week, with a goal of keeping my HR below 120. You can set alerts to let you know when you exceed your HR boundaries and you can customize these boundaries in the app for each activity (walk, run, cycling, hike, etc). The GPS works really well and it maps my route in the app.

Review: Lo uso para éntrenos de running y llevo aproximadamente tres semanas con el. Hasta la fecha me ha funcionado a la perfección y en cuanto a duración de batería cargada al cien por ciento con éntrenos de una hora veinte minutos cinco veces por día, me ha durado 10 días. Lo cual considero aceptable. En general es un muy buen reloj. Estoy muy a gusto con el.
