COROS PACE 4 review

The PACE 4 is the value pick for runners who mainly want accurate tracking and a battery that lasts. At $249 it costs the same as Garmin's entry Forerunner 70 but adds All-Systems and Dual-Frequency satellite modes, maps, and COROS's rating of 41 GPS hours and 19 days of daily use. It weighs 32 grams with the nylon band, which COROS compares to an energy gel. Training tools include a race predictor, personal marathon plans and a virtual pacer, and a recovery and wellness hub tracks recovery time, sleep stages, HRV and menstrual cycles. A microphone lets you record voice notes after a session or drop Voice Pins mid-run. The limits are clear from the spec list: COROS describes media controls rather than music storage, there is no payment feature listed, and the 1.2-inch screen is smaller than the Pro's. For most road runners those gaps matter less than the battery and the price.

Who it is for

Runners on a budget who want a light watch with long battery and solid training tools.
