Thanks for sharing this! I like the platform a lot and I’m using my Coros V2 more and more and enjoying training plans!

Thanks for the preview! I signed up for the beta about two hours after I got the email from Coros -- I'm sure that was probably too late. I will say that I'm super happy as a customer that bought my first dedicated run/gps watch (Pace 2) from Coros and didn't have any expectations or comparisons with the Garmin ecosystem. Now that I've owned it for over a year I really could not be happier with all the updates the watch has gotten and I'm super excited about the hub.

Coros upped their game. I ordered a Garmin 245 earlier but I canceled it and bought the Pace 2 because of the superior strength training features. Now they have this, so great news to be using the Coros ecosystem. The only drawback with Coros is their unwillingness to support non-Coros ANT+ footpods, so I cannot use the Pace 2 with my old Garmin ANT+ footpod on treadmills. I am therefore still using my old Garmin 310XT for indoor runs. Pls Coros, add support for non-Coros ANT+ footpods so I can use only the Pace 2 for everything.

This isn’t so much a COROS issue but an optical HR sensor issue as a whole. Particularly in colder climates the sensors may need some time to “warm up” and stabilize. I can’t say COROS has any plans to improve this with firmware updates. I’d say only improvements could come from new hardware.

In a way, yes. You can set your "preferred activity tracker" within the COROS app and the app will prioritize the wellness data from whichever device you choose for "daily wear" but will also integrate any new activities recorded from the Vertix 2.

when adding a workout to the calendar, will the workouts show up when you start an activity on a watch? or do they only sync over so you can manually start it?
