Hello Dave !!! great video editig and photograph..snowing already, looks really nice from here. Now, if I recall correctly, your initial GPS validation was on trail routes with heavy trees in between the ground and the sky. Coros pace 2 is not a trail watch but still I would like to see how it performs under the trees. Thanks again and cheers from Mexico.

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

That’s correct but it was also quite bad on roads. This new watch is light years better than the previous one I had and I’d expect it to be just as good on trails. For example the first Pace 2 I had took almost 10 minutes just to get a lock on a clear day. This replacement achieves a lock in just a few seconds. If anything changes on trails I’ll be sure to update!

I have this theory that the wrist HR is ineffective by having a cold wrist until the wrist gets pumped full of blood. I find my Pace 2 works much better on HR in the summer months where my wrist is already warm (vascular dilation)

@elizabethinpyn2962 3 года назад

Really appreciate all of your reviews- entertaining and informative. I need a new watch (my old Garmin is DEAD) - triathlete so I need multisport (train with HR on the run, power on the bike and GPS on the trails) trying to find the best “affordable” option... I don’t need it to answer phone calls, play music etc. I’m thinking this is the one- over the pricy Fenix 6. Thoughts. So happy to have found your channel.

For purely road running the Coros Pace 2 is pretty awesome and hard to beat at it's price. If you need navigation, or want maps or music on your watch that's where the Fenix has the advantage. Thanks for watching!

@neil1974uk 3 года назад

Hi Dave, excellent review. I had my pace 2 for about a week now and the only real issue I'm having with it is the wrist based heart rate monitor. I've used it now a few times, both for runs and for walks (using the GPS cardio workout), and compared to my Apple Watch series 5 it seems to spike every now and then and the heart rate will rocket to over 180bpm even when just going for a walk. Even when it doesn't spike I'm finding that the heart rate recorded is typically around 10bpm higher then the Apple Watch. I do however have a polar H10 strap and will pair it up with that now for heart rate monitoring. Otherwise I'm very impressed with the display, training tools and the battery life.

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

The only advice I can give is to wear it as tight as possible. Also, using the COROS nylon bands can help a lot as well.

I had the same problem with my Apple Watch last year. Everyone was saying how good the GPS is on the Apple Watch (besides the corner cutting, which is a software issue), but mine was just horrible and got worse over time. So I reached out to Apple, they swapped it and now it works flawlessly and I even have a couple of months of warranty on top.

@kevinwadden9192 3 года назад

Firstly, thanks for this review and your original more detailed one. Appreciate the update, but what is your verdict on the GPS wrt trail running? Per this video it tracked well on what looked like a road run, but does that extrapolate to a trail run through some thick woods? Also, why is a specific trail run profile selection needed on this watch? With barometric altimeter and good GPS, should that not equate to main parameters needed for a good trail run tracking without such a profile selection present on the watch?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

It's great! The replacement device has been way more reliable and in-line with my other devices. Unfortunately its still missing trail specific features like navigation. Having a specific "trail run" app is helpful for some third party services to distinguish which activities were road runs. Also for V02 Max estimating. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of. I just find it silly that they couldn't add in a dedicated profile since it's essentially just a copy and paste in the code! Thanks for watching!

@jcldc 3 года назад

Hi, excellent review as usual. Your video introduction always make me smiling :) I wanted to tell you that there is an inverted color mistake between curves and labels at the video (timeline 6'00") when you compare heart rate accuracy. Nothing important though. Keep going !

Love your work man. I run trails and roads (like 300 miles last year, so I am not an ultra guy, but love unknown terrain). Until now I tracked and navigated with my smartphone. Did not want to spend a lot for my first watch, so bought Pace 2. Now I have it unpacked and have second thoughts - am I missing a lot with the trail mode? I also hike and the watch does not have hike/walk mode. Is watch based navigation worth it over smartphone? I really hate that they cut the software to make people like me buy Apex. So now I consider returning my Pace 2 and buying Apex only for the trail and hike modes and navigation (don't care about materials).

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Not having a Trail mode isn't a huge deal with the Pace 2. Just go into strava or whatever and mark it as a trail run manually after your run. Or just forget it all together because it doesn't make too much of a difference in the grand scheme. It only bothered me because typically using run vs trail run makes a difference in how the watch calculates recovery, and V02 Max but because Coros isn't very accurate here either (on any watch) I wouldn't worry too much about it. I personally REALLY like having watch based navigation as a trail runner because I know I'm on track at a glance without having to dig out my phone and stop my run. Also when you're navigating a pre-designed course the watch will alert you if you go off track which has saved my butt a few times. If that's not something you typically need and it's only a once and a while thing I'm sure the smartphone will get you by! Thanks for watching!

Dave - for some reason I thought you were in Colorado like Des. Your area looks beautiful! Hey, if you’re willing, I am flip flopping btw getting the Pace2 or Ignite as a fitness focused upgrade from my AW Series 3. My body isn’t handling the amount of running that I’d like to do, so the Ignite’s suggestions of supportive workouts and better sleep diagnostics are tempting. But the Coros seems like a better running watch. Curious if you’d have anything to add. I know you found the Ignite’s touch display and lag in wrist-raising annoying. Thanks for a great channel.

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Colorado! I wish. I have to settle for the hills of the north east! I’d say go with the Polar if you want more training tools. The Pace 2 is awesome but it won’t provide you with much valuable feedback on your training. You could consider a stryd pod for more info but that will add to the cost. Hope that helps!

@RunnerRemRem 3 года назад

Dave, it would be worth it to make it clear that despite how similar power from Coros and Stryd are, the Coros way of calculating power doesn’t take into account the form power measured by Stryd. Simply because a watch cannot do it. Therefore it makes it questionable that Coros did not calibrate their output to purely mimic the Stryd values. As a consequence, I would not recommend to runners who have a Coros and a Stryd to rely on the Coros power if they forget their Stryd pod. Particularly if they run on a soft surface (sand, mud, snow).

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

I suppose it depends how seriously you're taking your data. For me, I could see some situations where I could rely on the wrist based power if I didn't have the Stryd Pod with me. Particularly on roads or packed trails. But I'm mainly interested in the trends and not particularly interested in interval training with Power. Of course the Stryd is the gold standard and can't be replicated by a watch. But Coros is getting darn close! Thanks for watching!

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

Optical HR sensors are tricky because some people can have excellent results while others have less luck. Things like skin color, hair density, body fat, etc.. all play a role along with how tight the band is worn. I think the Nylon band helps a lot too. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I got one question. As a trail runner i very much appreciate the altitude measures (elevation gain/loss and height). Does not having a trail-running mode any difference in those parameters? Considering this watch has barometric-altimeter it shouldn't, right? Just concerned about that specific point, for the rest i'm very surprised with the whole model. Thank you very much for your reviews, they're so good.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

No effect on elevation data. The only downside to not having a "trail run" activity is that it will mess up your training metrics if you "trail run" using the "run" activity. Other than that, these activity profiles are just copy/pastes of eachother.

Kinda depends what you want out of your watch. Are you interested in "smart features" or simply need to track activities? The Pace 2 is awesome but it's very basic and doesn't feature a whole lot in terms of "smartwatch" features. You get the basic stuff like reading text messages but that's about it. The Garmin options have much more flexibility and access to the Connect IQ app store. That said, coros has CRAZY battery life and fantastic features like wrist based running power. The choice is yours! Thanks for watching!

@andyneo8377 3 года назад

I have been using coming to 2mths and only complain is the fluctuation of HR (I'm using nylon band, pretty snug fitting). No major GPS issue for me except it's sensitive to low rise flyover or bridges, otherwise it's not bad in accuracy. Literally majority of my runs my HR either spike up super high for awhile before settling down or spike up in the middle of an easy run. I totally understand this is a flaw of WHR but my old 935 does to track better. Any pace 2 users face the same HR issue as me?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

For sure, the OHR on the Pace 2 isn't perfect even as shown in this video. I find that it "stabilizes" after a few minutes of running but it's a bit laggy when the HR drops or raises rapidly.

@NE110M 3 года назад

I have to ask .. I am looking to buy a new watch. i do not care about emails or notifications AT ALL. I need a watch for the various sports I do (Hiking, Running, Crossfit, Gym).. I searched for comparisons but couldn't find any. Why to buy Garmin or Coros or Suunto, when someone can buy Galaxy Watch 3 which has the same (almost) apps ? (yup, noob questions here). I know that the Garmin is more rugged in that matter, but other than that, if looking on functionality, what justifies these over regular Smartwatch ?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

There's a few advantages to a straight up sports watch. The most obvious being battery life. This Coros Pace 2 can last for weeks on a single charge and up to 30 hours in GPS mode. Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, Ticwatch, etc... all die within a couple of days of use. Another advantage is typically the sensors. Sports watches have dedicated altimeters, compass, barometer, and usually higher quality HR sensors (with the exception of the Apple Watch S6). Also, some people don't like needing to be "connected" to utilize all of the functions of their watch. A Garmin Fenix 6 has full offline maps... no internet required. There's a lot of pro's and cons. It's about choosing the right tool for the right job! For most, a smart watch is perfect (if you don't mind charging routinely). Hope that helps!

The hardware is great I love the actual watch, its a really nice piece - screen is really bright and has lots of workout modes, is built well, but the software is horrible! doesn't integrate with anything apart from itself.

It’s out of this video but i’m really curious about why nobody makes new Garmin HRM Pro vs Polar H10 chest strap comparision challange?? Thank you

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Interesting idea for a video. For me, I just don't think they're all that different. Results would probably be pretty similar. At the end of the day the H10 is better if you own a Polar watch. And the HRM Pro is better if you own a Garmin watch since they unlock additional features in their respective ecosystems.

@alphatrills 3 года назад

please be honest is the sleep tracking any good ? I have seen 40$ Bands having a great accuracy for sleep tracking is this good for sleep tracking or just for running ?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

It's hard to say because I don't have a scientific way of measuring the sleep accuracy. What I can say is that it does line up with my Garmin's which is a good thing.

@@ChaseTheSummit Sadly too expansive , i can have the Coros pace 2 for 199€ and Forerunner 245 for 220€, 350€ for 255 for me is too much. ^^

@nikolakis333 3 года назад

so a pace 2 PLUS navigation what watch would that be??? (in a reasonable price)

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

The Coros Apex adds navigation. Not full mapping but it can follow a course and get you back to the starting point of a run or ride . Hope that helps!

@davidharris6829 3 года назад

For running would you suggest the coros pace 2 or coros apex

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

For purely running the Pace 2 is awesome. I'd only step up to the Apex if you value higher build quality. Thanks for watching!

@ruthuparnashetty5783 3 года назад

Coros pace 2 vs vivoactive 3 which one would you choose?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

For running specifically I'd go with the Pace 2. For general wellness, and other activities probably the Vivoactive.

Is it possible to create custom activities out of the gps cardio mode? Thanks

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Nope. The activities are what they are. However, you can customize the data pages of the activities to your liking.

@rafaeldorigan 2 года назад

Does coros have a similar system to Garmin Coach?

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

Not quite, but they do have a training plan platform that you can import your own or a store bought plan into.

@Tethysmeer 3 года назад

Does the coros app require cloud upload to function? If yes what watches don't?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Yes, the app requires an internet connection to sync your activities. Most modern day fitness watches work this way. I suppose if you wanted to stay offline you could use a Garmin watch like the Instinct and manually send your activities to your computer over USB.

Can you fit the nylon band (that one for the vertix) on the Fenix 6? This band seems to be very good and garmin dont have such a band, also i dont find any other third party version like this coros band. And as always, great review :)

Is the pace 2 enough of a device to compete with the Garmin 245 or 935 Dave?

For running? Yes. The only thing it lacks is any form of navigation. Otherwise it's quite solid!

Its crazy customisible, it has music, standard 20mm strap.... although it doesnt have altimeter and open water swim... buy for running, apsolutely is worth spending some 70-80€ more for 245m...

so wait, you are saying: QC in Coros factory is so shit that every now and then the watch should be in the trash bin. But because you are influencer they decided to send you new one. What am I missing here?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Even if I wasn't an "influencer" I'd assume they'd replace a faulty device under their warranty. For what it's worth it seems like I'm the minority here. I haven't seen any comments or posts in forums/facebook groups that indicate this is a widespread issue with the Pace 2. Seems like I just had bad luck!
