For runners who want the three things in our angle, accurate GPS, training load and battery life, the PACE 4 Pro covers all of them at $449, which is $300 less than Garmin's flagship. COROS rates it at 60 hours of GPS recording and 21 days of daily use, the longest GPS figure among the AMOLED watches we compared. Dual-frequency GPS handles positioning, and COROS pairs an upgraded optical sensor with an electrical heart rate sensor for HRV-based wellness checks. The COROS app turns runs into Training Load, VO2 Max, Running Fitness and Pace Strategy views, with workouts, training plans and a route builder. Offline maps show street names and points of interest with turn-by-turn directions, and a speaker reads pace and heart rate alerts aloud. The tradeoffs: COROS does not list contactless payments on the page, smart features are simpler than on Apple or Garmin, and the 1.47-inch display makes for a larger watch than the PACE 4.
Who it is for
Runners who want long GPS battery, maps and a bright screen without paying flagship prices.
