They basically just said no we are not sending you a foot pod or hrm.

I was rocking a Garmin Instinct for around 5 years. That watch saved my life a few times during land navigation, but when I decided to upgrade I went for the top of the line COROS. The Coros was cool but I found that it was not as accurate as my 5 year old Garmin. I took it back and purchased an Epix Pro 47mm for 200.00 more and I am honestly satisfied with my purchase. The Epix doesn’t even have as many features, but it is way wayyyyyy more accurate when running on a treadmill and the sleep/nap tracking is better as well.

Same experience. Have tried THREE Coros devices in the past year. All were good. None were kept. I'm back with Garmin. Wanted to love Coros but HR sensors are subpar and firmware is constant bugs. The Coros HRM would not even properly pair to two watches in our family... No other sensor has ever had issue, brand notwithstanding. My Pace3's HRM was more trouble and cadence-lock happy than the Pace2 even. Garmin is at least reliable.

Very clear and logical reivew. Sounds like Coros has the features that Garmin does not have. Loving it!

I got a Pace 3 for Christmas and love it. I do not have the issue with text messages that you mentioned. If I click the wheel on the message preview, it always opens up the notification to let me scroll through and read the entire text/email. I also kind of like the music storage feature. It's a little old school. But I have found some great free downloads of house music with perfect tempos to pair with runs.

Just bought the coros pace 3, thanks!

I drew the running routes too for well over a year or 2. I literally just stopped last month when I starting using Nike Run Club (with my phone strapped to my arm). Just got my Coros Pace 2 this week, and I will test it out soon.

awesome dude - good times! Hope you like the watch

I really enjoy my Pace 3, been using it since launch and I'm probably going to stay with Coros for good unless they just totally drop the ball in the future. The ease of setting up training plans, the battery life, how quickly it gets GPS signal, and how lightweight it is were the big things that sold me on it. Also the price of course. My only issue with it is the wrist based HR doesn't seem so great (for me, but I do MAF training mostly so need high accuracy) but I usually run with a strap.

Turn on auto lock for the scroll wheel. And I believe you can set a do not disturb feature for a certain time so the watch doesn't light up at night when you're sleeping.

I've got a Garmin currently and I like the AMOLED screen, but for all the bells and whistles not one of the Garmin watches can properly track my naps or any sleep outside of the "sleep hours", whereas my Fitbit charge 3 could track naps & sleep at any time. I also agree about how difficult it is to increase the low aerobic load because I do a significant amount of walking indoors at home, at work, and shopping, and I never can be bothered to get on my Garmin to start/stop tracking a walk everytime I stand up!

Hi! Thanks for stopping by on the channel. If you care about smart features, a nicer amoled screen, using music features whilst running, and more premium materials - go with the Garmin If you want a light weight running watch that is specific designed for just running - then go with the Coros.

I ordered Pace 3. After +20 years with Garmin I want something new and cheaper, arm sensor instead of breast strap. I think Garmin software has become too heavy...I canceled my Spotify and may even download top running hits mp3s. Back to basic 🙂

You can listen to MP3s on the Garmin Fénix 7 (probably also on other models).

I have the Garmin 245 music. I recently bought the Coros version sold by Decathlon. I’m using both at the same time to compare stats. For outside runs they are nearly neck to neck. But for inside runs the difference is quite staggering. For example on a 10 km inside run (treadmill or track) the Coros version always gives me a distance up to 2 km more and an average pace higher than the Garmin. Would you mind trying both your watches at the same time just to see if you get such a significant difference in running stats? ☺️🇨🇦

This is so obvious. Every watch has the feature.

Have a Forerunner 955 but also been considering switching to Coros. But if it's not able to constantly monitor heart rate and provide sleeping HRV averages that's annoying. Never use music, so that's not an issue. My forerunner seems to be a bit crazy, saying I'm strained when I'm not, as you pointed out, also seeing my VO2 Max go down constantly despite consistent exercise is annoying too, went from 54 down to 49, I can fairly easily run a sub 4 hour marathon, so while not great, I think 49 is low, especially as that's what it said was my VO2 Max when I first started running and I'm much fittet now. Also the race predictor seems ridiculously over optimistic.

@PeakStride

yeah it would make zero sense for you vo2max to drop that much unless you donated blood every day for a week haha! the Coros does track HRV now, and for the heart rate - I personally don't care too much about exact heart rated while im living my life. It does take HR during workouts just like any other watch.

What about suggested workout in garmin ?

My biggest holdup for this at the moment is lack of maps. I do a lot of trail running (and mountain biking, but for that I use my…. Garmin bike computer) and maps come in super handy when checking out new places or getting turned around in the middle of a long run in the woods.

You're mostly right. But even a cheaper Garmin 245, which I bought for 150$, has daily suggested training feature which won't be available any time soon in Coros Pace 3 or probably 4 and later. Another thing it is pace and heart rate data delay during speed intervals. I might call it inaccuracy. For me personally these are way more useful and important features than, for example, less time needed to set a training session in an app and connect it to a watch. In other words it looks like Coros Pace 3 sucks.

I currently use the Garmin FR235 and the FR945. I switched to the FR945 because of the map-features and batterylife for Ultra's. Then shortly after I used a huge stack of money on the FR945, they realesed the FR965, and since then the FR945 have been ignored by Garmin, even more than the older FR235 (actually the most popular Garmin watch). I have no desire to stay with Garmin, but historic data does absolutely count... When it's time to get a new watch, Coros is currently at the top of my wish-list, and I hope that they by then have a better map face/functionality and the ability to edit a workout before uploading it.

The biggest issue I have with Garmin is their choise to not listen to the real userbase in terms of what features are wanted/needed. Instead they go 100% towards where they smell the money... Therefore Golf has been a huge deal for some years, even if it's not a very large userbase, and even been given it's own entry in the app-menu, that no others have been given. It would make more sense to give that option to Triathlon or Ultra or what ever. But apparently golfers are not that adept to handling an app, just telling me, that the most important golf-users are Garmins own non-athletic/non-tech-savy boardmembers. Wheras a simple feature of being able to edit a workout BEFORE upload (could be adding distance to a row- or eliptical workout) has been ignored for a decade+. Only showing that the ones taking the desitions at Garmin are not the hardcore users. Coros is so much more in line with what the userbase actualy requests and is open to new ideas.

You should be concern about your heart rate throughout the date if you want to train well.

If you are any kind of military, first responder, nurse, security, night worker… don’t buy a Garmin. You cannot manually switch off the sleep schedule. It makes you set one or defaults to a traditional 9-5 sleep. If you are at work at 0200 it will constantly put itself into sleep mode and DND even if you toggle the mode off manually. Some people say to set one minute sleep settings for the day to fix it… ok… tried that. Doesn’t work. It will still every few minutes during the nighttime turn on DND and sleep mode. This will also mess with the sleep function during the day. Sometimes you will sleep a few hours, wake up, even log a workout and it’s still logging you as sleeping. Garmin genuinely believes that I took a “nap” (because it can’t POSSIBLY be sleep during the daytime) from 1200-0200 BUT I also got up, got dressed, and ran for half an hour with a HR of 150… all in my sleep! Sorry, in my “nap”. Garmin is a joke. Unless you live under a perfect and ideal schedule going down at 2130 and waking up at 0530 every day, Garmin isnt worth it. All the flashy numbers and stats draw people in, but seriously, if you’re not going to be the poster child of perfect sleep timing, your sleep scores will be inaccurate and thus so will the rest of all these “impressive” stats.. Garmin is ONLY automatic and even if you try to set it to an alternative sleep schedule, it will default and put you in do not disturb during your shift. I’d set $450 on fire before I bought a Garmin again. The Coros may have to be my new running watch.

I'm sorry but there are some definite faults here in the first 4inutes of your video. I came from polar and switched to a 955 and battery easily lasts 10 days with 4 runs per week of about an hour, not 2 or 3 days. You can also tell garmin to take your heartbeat in higher intervals. For intervals, you have the same features on garmin. Garmin's running interface on the app sucks though. Love coros' (and polar's) interface better. If it wasn't a chinese company and it had maps, i'd go for the coros al day though.

Not sure what I’m supposed to say - this is just my experience with the watch. It was lasting me about 3 days, I usually run every day sometimes twice per day.

​@@PeakStridemaybe be a bit more transparent about how you use the watch? Because as someone who daily uses a Garmin 245 3 days on a 955 sounds kinda fishy. Not saying you're lying but to most people who are familiar with using a Garmin they'd be just as confused as I was about that. Just food for thought but I think worth bringing up

My Coros Pace 2 died after three years and I found out that most users suffer the same problem. The battery lifespan is 2 to 3 years, right after the 2-year warranty has expired... There is no option to repair it. Please keep that in mind.

If your 955 lasts 3 days that means you run 12 hours a day... With around 5 jours of GPS /week I get more than 10 days. The Pace 3 is an excellent watch (I already got a Pace 2 and loved it) but you don't have to lie about the 955 to make the Coros more exceptional.

@@PeakStride 🙄 If your watch is defective you should return it. A regular 955 lasts around 7 (hardcore) to 14 (lazy) days depending on GPS usage, not 3 days.

The only way I see it lasting 3 days is with constant blood oxygen readings. I would get 3 days of battery with that feature on 24/7.

I wonder how many people are watching this now that Garmin has ruined the Connect app 😂 I've been a long time Garmin user but after that worthless update Coros is looking better and better

Is there a pace lag? When you are using coros do you know how fast you are running 400m?

@PeakStride

Yep it picks up the pace straight away - I don’t notice pace lag. I even do 100m strides to certain pace and it picks it up fine

If you only wanted a running watch why did you get a 955! Overkill!

Just because you have not learned and used forerunner 955 effectively, so it's easy for you to being biased. But literally I can assure you that this watch is no where close to overall features and functionality in forerunner 955. I am using 955 for more than year and I bet you are just a reviewer.

I have used both Garmin and coros in the past. While the more expensive Garmins are great on features, they really are not intuitive to use. That is probably my major problem with them (I'm using one nevertheless). Yet, the control concept of the Pace 2 and 3 is brilliant IMHO. It's a lot faster and more intuitive for me. I'd love to have that control scheme on Garmin, it's the thing I came to like the most with coros.

@@PeakStride I agree. Besides I don't really care about the fitness stuff lol😭😂. I need time, distance, and pace and that's really it

Hm, I paid 560€ for my Fénix 7 Pro. Coros Apex 2 Pro can do about the same and costs about the same (500€). If you compare similar models across different brands, there's really not much difference anymore in pricing. Also, you should take into account where a watch is made. The Garmin Fénix is made in Taiwan. I'm willing to pay more for that than for watches made in a dictatorship constantly threatening its neighbors. But that might be just me.

Still a turd compared to garmin
