COROS PACE 3 GPS Sport Watch, Lightweight Running Watch- White Silicone

Long story short: I am really really happy with this product. A few things I'd change. -- I am running my first ever half marathon this coming April. I have about 5-6 years experience with running but have never done more to track my runs than use my stopwatch on the timer app and Google Maps, both on my phone. Prior to my training for the half, I knew I needed something more reliable, more responsible, and more accurate than just my phone. I did my research and talked to my friends and family who are runners about the type of exercise watch I should buy that is accurate and benefits my training and how to change and help myself. Of course I saw Garmin, Apple, Samsung, and other massively known brands, but I was reading similar negative things about each of them. Their accuracy. That is when I landed on the Coros Pace 3. Everything you need to know about your running is here. Using the watch, choose what workout you are doing, and that is it. The watch does everything for you. Once you have completed the workout, go to the app. Now is when the real magic happens. It shows you your times (Activity Time, Avg. Pace, Avg. Effort Pace, Best Mile, Avg. Heart Rate, Calories, Elev. Gain, Running Performance, Training Load) in the first section. This is the best way to quickly understand your ultimate time and how much you are pushing yourself. This watch will tell you how a run impacts your Aerboic TE (how your body improves physically while training). I will say, some of the verbiage used is a little above my knowledge. So, it may take some time to research each section so that you know what each means and how you can work from it and continue to progress. It tells you your Cadence, Running Power, Stride Length, and more. When you're not running, and want to use it as a typical watch, there are hundreds of watch faces to choose from. It took me about 2 weeks of playing around with different ones to find the one that I loved, which I have now been using for the last 4 months. On the face it tells you time, BPM, calories burned, activity time, steps, elevation, date (mm/dd/year), and battery life. Battery Life: IT IS INSANE!! On 2%, it takes about 40-50 minutes to charge to 100%. On 100%, using it for a workout 4 times/week, the battery lasts for up to 10 days. When not working out during the week, it can last up to 2 weeks. It is crazy. Probably one of the best things I like about the watch. WHAT I WOULD CHANGE: The interface. The notifications I get from my phone pop up on my watch and the text seems like what I would get on my Blackberry in 2010. It gets the job done, but the notification text could use a change. Screen. It is a little dim at times. You can not change the brightness of the watch. When in a dark area, it will go black, but if you're in a dim-light area, it will still be on, but very hard to see. You have to click one of the buttons to unlock it and is then better to see. That's just me. Music. You cannot use Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Soundcloud on your watch. You have to download an MP3 of a song and put it on the file when plugged into your computer. It is a pain, but I figured out how to do it and stick to 3 1-hr playlists each time. That's it. I will say the accuracy of the BPM, Stress Levels, Steps, and Calories Burned is immaculate. I have tested this while using certified machinery to track these levels, and the watch has been 1-2 points around what the test is showing. This has been a lot, but I hope it helps. Overall it is very accurate, benefits me and what I was looking for in a watch. The pros DEFINITELY outweigh the cons.

I'm a runner and I wear my coros pace 3 all the time. It is very lightweight and comfortable, I ended up getting the silicone band since it was waterproof and looked better in my opinion. The silicone is very soft to the touch and the coating hasn't worn off yet (I've owned it for 6 months). It's so lightweight and comfortable sometimes I forget it's there. It provides pacing and accurate gps data during activities and even has a weight lifting mode (sometimes doesn't track reps for specific exercises but that's not the main purpose of the watch anyways). I also like it includes a running fitness chart and workout plans as well as a tracker for fatigue and race predictions. You can change the watch face to any image you want and use various dials. The watch doesn't come with any wireless pay. The main difference between this and a Garmin is the Garmin supports Spotify (you do need premium) and downloads wirelessly but it is a lot easier to listen to music through the watch then on the coros where you would have to download an mp3 of the songs and connect it to a computer. Battery life for me is 14 days with ~5.5 -6 hours of gps usage a week. The watch also supports routes to follow, but in my opinion it's a little difficult to follow. Overall, the coros pace 3 is a great choice to track your activities and has excellent reliability and tracking, but could use better music support and maps. I would recommend this over garmins simply because the features are more sports oriented at coros but if you want a more lifestyle watch I would recommend Garmin.

The watch is excellent. It does what I want it to do, I can track a whole lot more than I thought I could and the battery life is something I completely brag about all the time. The silicon band has this minor notches where you can latch it to your wrist so its kind of always a perfect fit. Its lightweight, that you almost forget that its on your wrist so its quite comfortable. i have had any problems with a GPS yet but over all im happy with it. When it did come out of the box, I was a bit disappoint that it was TRULY black its dark grey. But thats me nitpicking.

After doing way more research than I should have on the best watch for triathlon training, I coincidentally ran into an article that raved about the 2023 version of this watch even while mentioning its shortcomings. Then I found another article raving again about the enhancements made to their 2024 model and that it was a no brainer for those of us non-professionals that are also on a budget and want wearable tech with features we will use rather than a bunch we won’t. Only thing I would mention, you’ll see other reviews saying the same thing so I knew ahead of my purchase, is that the display is a bit on the darker side BUT it’s true that in full sun it’s ironically easier to read because of it. If you’re training AND in the market for wearable tech you will not be disappointed in this 2024 model; strongly consider bundling their branded heart monitor before checking out, it’s a game changer even if you can’t wear it for swim workouts. The data it gives is invaluable Update Nov 2024: The battery life on the watch and the HR monitor are just astonishing! The watch charge is well over a week on average and the HR monitor is the same with consistent use 6 days a week (workouts include running, cycling), watch only during swim workouts. For those using the run:walk (galloway) method to train, you can absolutely use the intervals function to set up your workouts.

I was looking for a battery durable running watch as im training for a marathon. I purchase this and im am happy with it. The satellite gps tracking is very accurate and the watch is easy to pair. I also liked the appearance. One con os this watch is that it does not have messaging or texting. You can get notifications but it won't allow you to make calls or text from the watch. Great features include sleep tracking, running fitness, stress, period-tracking, and heart rate. If you want a simple watch to keep track of training and running, this is the watch for you.

Excellent watch if you’re a swimmer. My daughter is a collegiate swimmer and the Apple Watch died and needed something reliable for swim and this was it . It tracks everything , very sleek looking , comfortable and connects to her iPhone .

It's a great watch with a really good program. This is my first "professional" fitness watch, and I've had no problems with it. I originally got the Dura bike computer, so I was familiar with the app, which is really user friendly. It's easy to put on and is pretty comfy. It's had no issue while swimming, the customization screen is useful and easy, and it seems pretty accurate. The screen is a lot darker than what's portrayed on a lhone screen, so custom watch faces are a lot dimmer. But there are plenty of options for screen faces.

Everything about this is top notch. Great value.

Great battery life , great for running

Not had it long but does seem to carry out the functions we have required of it. Used for sleep, walks and pool swims so far. Light and easy to use, good price against competitors.

Comprei para me ajudar a controlar o pace nos treinos e funcionou muito bem. Já usei em uma prova de 5km, e em vário treinos curtos e longos. Ele é bem resistente e achei confortável para dormir também. Eu só achei muito fácil de mudar a tela sem querer durante um exercício.

Nachdem mein alter Polar m400 nun praktisch nicht mehr zu verwenden war, habe ich mich eher wiederwillig zu einer Neuanschaffung entschlossen und meine Wahl fiel nach einigen Recherchen auf die Coros Pace 3. Was soll ich sagen - noch selten bin ich so positiv und angenehm überrascht worden! Folgende Punkte begeistern mich besonders: + Sehr genaue Pulsmessung am Handgelenk - der Polar mit Brustgurt (!) war nicht annähernd so akkurat! + Sehr schnell verfügbares und genaues GPS! + Leicht, kompakt und vor allem nicht sehr dick, daher auch im Alltag gut zu tragen. Und sieht dabei noch ganz passabel aus! + Sehr lange Akkulaufzeit. + Einfache Bedienung mit Krone und Vibrations-Feedback - sehr gelungen! + MP3 Audiospieler on board! Ich brauche mit dieser Uhr also keinen Brustgurt und keinen MP3-Player mehr zum Laufen - wenn das kein Fortschritt ist! Es gibt aber auch 2 Punkte die mir weniger gefallen: - Synchronisation geht nur mit einer App am Smartphone oder Tablet, nicht aber am PC. Und für Tablet ist die App noch nicht mal optimiert, man hat hier nur die vergrößerte Handy-Ansicht. Das scheint aber heute leider generell bei Pulsuhren so zu sein. PC ist wohl "out"... - Die deutsche Übersetzung des User Guides ist grottenschlecht, vermutlich von einer KI erstellt und nicht gegengelesen. Beispiel: Die Krone wird hier "Ziffernblatt" genannt, was extrem irreführend ist! Am besten nur den englischen Guide lesen. Fazit: Supergenaue GPS-Pulsuhr zum Laufen und mehr, um den Preis praktisch unschlagbar! Mal sehen, ob die Uhr auch so lange durchhält wie mein alter Polar aus 2015...

Le GPS double fréquence, qui améliore la précision des tracés et la navigation. Le suivi complet de la fréquence cardiaque et du sommeil, utile aussi bien pour les entraînements que pour le quotidien. L’interface est intuitive, l’écran lisible dans toutes les conditions, et le design léger la rend confortable à porter toute la journée. Pour le prix, c’est un excellent choix si tu veux une montre polyvalente avec de vraies fonctionnalités sportives.
