Thanks for a nice introduction to the new Pace. Another great value in a running watch. I’ve preordered the track version to replace my red Pace 2. I know it is shallow, but I love how that red nylon strap looks like a track.

Yeah, I am rewatching your video, thanks, Dave. I really enjoyed how you condensed so much information in just 22 minutes - wonderful details. I'm going on Day Four now and my battery life is still at 57% with 7 days left.

Dude you are simply the best at reviews. Thoroughly enjoy them.

I do have a Pace 2 and I pretty much use it for running on roads only, I don't think I would be upgrading but will def be keeping an eye out for it in the next few months!

I was lucky enough to be part of the field testing group for this. This is easily the best watch for the price…and 100% competes with a lot of more expensive watches. I have an Apex 2 Pro and now find myself using the Pace 3 as my daily watch instead. The heart rate monitor is, by far, the most accurate on any watch I’ve ever used (Apple Watch, Garmin Fenix 7 & Forerunner). It was always spot on with my chest strap. The screen is crisper and the dial is more responsive than my other Coros watches. I never had any issues at all with GPS tracking either. Overall, just unbeatable value in my opinion.

I would say it comes down to the build materials you want. If you want a more premium feel/look, go with the Apex 2/Pro because of the metal case. But if you don’t care about that, Pace 3 is more than enough.

Great video as always Dave 💪 I'll be upgrading my Coros Pace 2 😎

Love my Pace 2 and just purchased the new Pace 3 yesterday during the launch. I mostly trail run and hike, so that was the biggest selling point for me. 😊

Woohoo was waiting for this - your review and the watch.

Previously from Garmin Fenix 6 user now purchased Coros Pace 3 nylon black because i want something lightweight & comfortable! Thanks for this video..Keep it up the good work! 👍👍👍

Oh... How I would love to love this one ! It has a lightweight build, attractive appearance, impressive battery life, and user-friendly app. However, as a cyclist, I'm hesitant about its suitability for my needs. I'm leaning more towards the 265 model, which offers a range of wellness features that could help keep me motivated. Despite not needing the advanced features of Garmin's pricier options...

Great review. Thank you for the detailed and useful information.

I think you just sold me on this!! I just need to research the recovery and sleep modes on the watch compared to Garmin. Thank you!

I own a Pace 2 and have purchased the Pace 3 this morning 😊 I can’t wait to start using it. The pace 2 was my entry level runner’s watch coming from an apple 4 watch and I haven’t looked back.

Another pace 2 owner, I love these watches I only got a watch for my weekly run a couple of years ago. It never comes off my wrist just simply amazing. Not sure I would upgrade but you never know. Can attest to the excellent battery life it crazy good.

It looks like Coros has finally sorted out their accuracy in term of heart rate and GPS. Interesting times are on their way.

The touch feature is nice. I noticed on the Pace 3 you can tap to select an option but not on Apex 2 so maybe they will enable this on Apex series soon

What we perceive we need versus what we actually need: I think I remember you talking about this about a year or so ago. At $229, the pace 3 is exactly what most people need.

Great review. I'm totally agree with you, this is a very good watch, maybe best option in this price. I'm big Coros fan, but as you mention even old Garmin has more wellness option, body battery etc.

I returned a Suunto 9 Peak because of restart problems, I believe this one are going to be my new watch.

Great review. I been hopping between getting a Garmin equivalent of taking the plunge on a Coros Pace 3. After watching your review it's going to be the later!

Have a Pace 2 and will be upgrading as the new features are worth it, the improved battery life, screen quality, HR sensor and music storage on the watch. Now I just have to wait till it's available in Europe and Australia.

Mother - apex2, father - pace 1, result - pace 3, and brother in law - pace 2. From my POV to pace series added more fancy features, to cover more requests from amateur auditory. Also now to me looks that with current hw it's possible even add mapping (same memory with Apex pro & vertix1). Waiting for update with touch enabling in stand-by mode for apex pro (if it will come).

As a Pace 2 owner I struggle to read the displays especially during my night runs. I was hoping for a brightness control but that has not come through even on the Pace 3. I am willing to sacrifice battery life for readability. This might be the only reason I might switch to a Garmin for it's excellent display.

How does it measure heart rate throughout the day, I heard somewhere it does this at something like 10 minute intervals outside of activities? Is this true and can it be set to measure at higher intervals like every minute for example when sleeping? I'm thinking about things like sleep apnea, 10 minute interval might not be enough to notice some spikes.

I have the Coros Pace 2 and no Heartbeat measuring while swimming. Hoped this works with Pace 3. Garmin FR 955 is no problem with it. Also no ANT+ anymore is a no-buy for me for the 3 because I cannot connect to my rowing device (concept2) anymore. I will go with the FR965. This review helped me a lot to see this. Thx!

I love the Polar App, and I guess some people love the Garmin tech, but you'd really have to love it a lot not to get the pace 3. How many people couldn't everything they need from it? I do like that they've added some sports modes from high end watches, it's somethink that I like polar for and Garmin stinks at.

Thanks so much for the review! I just ordered the new PACE 3. My reasoning is that I loved my PACE 2 which I used for about two full years (~8,000 km / 5,000 mi total), and I think the battery has suffered. Recently, when I did the 120K Lavaredo Ultra in Italy, it was at just 5% battery after 25 hours of running. Still pretty good, sure, and that's only down from 30 hours when new (according to COROS), but I noticed it over the months. I love the PACE 2 and have no complaints at all. Touchscreen isn't something I'm very keen on, but better GPS and general display quality is. The price is amazing despite the slight increase. I think the slight design update makes it look sleeker, too. Solid upgrade!

Looks like a solid upgrade. I've still got my old Coros pace 2, it was my first proper running watch, although my main daily driver is now a Garmin Epix Gen 2. Overall I prefer Garmin's multi-sport ecosystem, though Evolabs is improving all time, and I think if you just want to stick to running, in some ways it is superior to Garmin's. Another thing I've found was the optical heart season on the pace 2 was rock solid for me where as on Epix it is terrible especially during intervals. The only retrograde step here is the removal of Ant+ sensor support. The great advantage of Ant+ is once you connect a device using Ant+ it stays connected.

945 is still a great watch. The sad reality about all smartwatches is battery degradation after 2-3 years. You'll likely see a 5-10% drop in performance and it will get worse as time goes on. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it's drastically different. Upgrading is a personal choice... I can't make that for you but 3-5 years seems average.

Speaking as one who doesn't run, as doesn't hike very much, this still looks like a good choice in terms of bang for the buck. I'm intrigued by the dual GPS, route specification, and bread crumb capabilities. When I drive out into an unfamiliar area and lose all map/nav coverage on my phone, I'm thinking careful use of the watch might fill in that gap.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Great comparison review. I’m thinking to get COROS, but I’m curious if they have the option to combine workouts in 1 set, for instance running - jumping rope, etc, when I don’t need to switch between workout modes? I don’t think that in multi sport option I can add jumping rope (this is must have) to workout session.

What to buy forerunner 965 or coros pace 3?? 🤯
