PACE 3 GPS Sport Watch - Lightweight, Comfortable Running Watch, 17-Day Battery Life, Accurate GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Navigation, Sleep Tracking - 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.

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.

Great battery life and very accurate. Step count was also very accurate. Very easy to use once you get used to it.

First running watch. I’m impressed with the functionality and capability this watch provides. Super intuitive and easy to setup. I only just started but from what it offers and what I’m using it for I don’t feel like I’ll be outgrowing it anytime soon. It’s also way more comfortable than I was expecting as well - I planned on just wearing it for my runs but I rarely take it off. It doesn’t scream running watch and it’s so light weight I forget I’m wearing it. The actual display is a perfect size as well.

I bought this to replace a Fitbit charge 5 that has become a buggy mess. And I'd rather not deal with Google anymore. This watch is great. Although they need to work out the bugs if they want me to recommend it to people. I'll explain later. This watch has many features but it is clearly focused on running and maybe cycling. It doesn't have badges for anything else. So if you didn't buy it for that, don't expect any badges. It's step and heart rate detection are top notch. But only while you're doing an activity. Once your not actively doing something. It becomes spotty at best. Some of the bugs that I mentioned. The heart rate detection is completely unreliable at all other times. It tries to tell me that I'm running at 40 beats, my heart never goes that slow. And step detection is slow to respond. I find that it misses thousands of steps throughout the day. Anything can confuse it. If you look at it while you're walking, it will completely stop counting. I also ended up disabling the touch screen. It's fine but the interface was clearly designed for the digital crown. The only time I find it useful is when I'm quickly hiking a trail. The crown becomes cumbersome to use and it's just easier to swipe between screens. Another bug is the sleep tracking. On a normal day it's fairly close. Although it doesn't know that I'm awake until I stand up. If I stay in bed and say grab my Nintendo Switch. It won't know that I'm up until an hour later when I actually get out of bed. It also doesn't detect any sleep that happens before Midnight. I don't typically go to bed before 2am. So it usually isn't a problem. But on the weekends, I'm random. I fell asleep at 7pm one day and it recorded nothing until 12:30am. Other than that, it's been a solid watch. It can set plenty of alarms. The timer function remembers several times. There are many watch faces to choose from. Although most of them look like they were designed by programmers and children. I'm not sure what is going on with it's storm warning system. Don't rely on it. It will warn you when nothing is happening. And remain silent for actual storms. The elevation feature is also inconsistent. But it will give you a general picture. The battery life is fantastic as well. Although, I'm fairly certain that is the focus of the device. At least when your not being active. If you can afford to spend more, I would. But if you are looking for a cheap watch with good battery life that does most things well. This will do the job.

Great everyday watch & fitness tracker. Love it

Best watch! Training for a triatlón and it’s works just great! Great price! And coros app much user friendly than 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.

Zeer uitgebreide horloge tevreden er mee.

amazing watch! very accurate and good long lasting battery, very satisfied with the quality and build.

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.

Love this watch! This is an amazing upgrade to the old Garmin Forerunner 25 that I had. Took a bit of getting used to, but that's because my old watch was so basic. Love all the different face features and colours to suit everyone's personality - very quirky. GPS is spot on. Options for type of sport being carried out is brilliant. The granular features that breakdown the different muscle groups being worked on at any time is great. Sleep functions, stress levels, recovery rates. I could go on forever about how amazing this watch is. The app is also very easy to navigate alao which is brilliant.

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...
