The gator's like: 'Hey. Nice watch. That's, that's waterproof right? How deep can you go with it? No, don't worry about why I am asking these questions. Maybe look over there for a bit though.'
Nice one Dave. I’ve had a Garmin for more than 4 years. I don’t feel like the features really ever move forward. For example, I’d like to do some sort of 4x4 training for vo2 max, but there’s no training program for that built into the watch. why not!? The phone app has also gone nowhere and I got the beta the other day that you demo’d, tried it and immediately went back, as it was a backwards step. These coros features seem great. Thanks for the review.
I'm really looking forward to screen mirroring. Thanks for the preview -- and stay away from those gators, I'm counting on you to keep making these videos. 😁
Nice features especially the ability to mirror on the phone. I’m guessing the reason garmin don’t provide something similar is they would rather have you buy a separate cycling computer. One thing that might put off a cyclist off getting a coros watch might be the lack of ANT+ support on the most recent watches.
amazing for cycling! coros needs to embrace cycling more. Currently it seems very running focused. Still considering buying coros. The pace of the feature updates is crazy. Or maybe I'll wait for an amoled version?
@0:15 Alligators and swarms of mosquitoes - what a scenic backdrop! All those same-looking “shoe box-houses”. Who wants to live there if you don’t have to?
The Apex 2 and Vertix series watches do have mapping. But the maps are not routeable like a Fenix. However with this new mirroring function it's pretty close since you can use your phone to create a route and sync over to the watch in real time to follow the route. Pretty cool stuff!
Para montaña Garmin sigue siguiendo superior a Coros pero es cierto que dentro de poco estarán parejos. Deberían implementar mapas rutables, poder meter el mapa que desees y tener unas opciones más avanzadas en el tema de la personalización. Lo que más me gusta de Coros es cómo cuidan a los usuarios aunque tengan versiones de reloj antiguas.
Not a chance. Garmin has a huge market share and most of them are just general users who don't use half the features. I don't even look at other devices as I am a happy Garmin users with all my data for years in the Garmin ecosystem.
Is it true or did I just imagine that during my run on a planned route the Coros Pacer 3 gave me vibration alerts BEFORE an upcoming turn (and not only just after I’ve missed it). Only trouble is that we can’t programme the timing of the alert in terms of distance to the turn. 50m before a turn might be enough for a run but not for skiing.
If it just had airplane mode. I like to keep my watch on airplane mode and then sync at the end of the day. Probably worrying too much but don’t want constant emf on my wrist. I do the same with my Oura.
If I run off Bluetooth off my phone it turns everything else off. It doesn’t give you an option in the watch so it is still constantly trying to search for a phone. If it is available on the watch, let me know. Thanks!
@@chriscarpunky Hey Chris, Darian from COROS here. We don't have an "airplane mode" at the moment as Bluetooth connections on planes aren't an issue (same reason you can use Bluetooth headphones on a plane) for plane communications at all. If the concern is is EMF, we would recommend shutting the watch off as a band-aid solution at the moment. Based on what we have seen in studies, the EMF exposure from a watch worn all the time is significantly less (500 to 1) compared to things like being outdoors in the sun, so we have not made it a development priority at the moment but always are open to keeping up to date with new info and adjusting accordingly!
You might regret it. I drank some of the Coros kool-aid; in the end going back to Garmin. Just too many things that are not polished in the UI (or half-baked features). Especially not being able to edit a workout - like trim time or modify a strength training workout (sets/reps/weight). The FR955 was a frustrating watch to use at times, but Coros products will bring another set of frustrations too.
@@splatmatt yeah, currently downgrading at the moment since I need money elsewhere. But interesting thing about garmin would be how the software "just works", and I love the desktop dashboard before. But the one that I hate is that, I love 255 form factor as 955 was too bulky, but the feature from 265 is just locked there for newer product (readiness etc) Would be similar to how garmin provide climbpro on newer cyclo only, meanwhile wahoo able to update old device to have it.
Great for cycling, but a miss where Coros has ignored other feature requests by many users. Like: remote music control of smartphone music apps, backlight controls, edit workouts during and after (reps/sets, weight amount, or trim an activity time), live tracking to name a few.
@@jblizzard962 Ok - I don't disagree. However on my recovery runs I do enjoy some music. Regardless, not being able to edit workouts is just stupid. The features added in this feature update is just unnecessary fluff too.
@@jblizzard962 I wish it had paying functionality. There is occasions when being on a run but not bringing my phone, and the ability to buy a snack or an emergency bus home would be very beneficial! I couldn’t care less about music functionality also 👍
Hey @splatmatt, Darian from COROS here. We have not ignored these requests and I can say that specifically music control, editing workouts, and live tracking are all being looked into (some being tested currently) and hope to release these soon!
Really like that it has not unnecessary options like paying, music and calling. Just want a watch that is specified on sports. Do not want to pay for other options I do not need. You want music buy some extra device for music.
It really comes down to the build quality and the maps. The Apex series has metal, and a sapphire display. The Pace 3 is all plastic but it is a bit lighter. Apex 2 also gets the mapping feature while the Pace 3 has basic breadcrumb maps.
Coros may not be taking much from garmin, but they are taking some of the ppl looking for watches. Suunto and Polar need to be a bit more concerned if anything.. imo
Vidéo interessante, mais je n'ai pas tenu jusqu'au bout. J'ai horreur des gens qui crient quand ils expliquent quelque chose. Même si vous êtes enthousiaste, c'est stressant à la fin
It's pretty simple. From within insta360's app while editing in "pro" mode you can click "stats" and select either Garmin Connect or Apple Health. The app automatically chooses the correct activity based on the time stamps and drops the data overlays on top!
