Absolutely agree. Super helpful info here about the relative pros and cons. Gave me the info I need to decide whether or not to switch from my Garmin 245, and based on your review it's a no. The lack of guiding you through an interval workout is a deal breaker for me, even ignoring some of the other low hanging fruit issues you pointed out in the review.
Verry nice review.Over night HRV is now a new feature, Coros usually brings a lot of updates even the PACE 2 still gets regular updates. Unfortunately garmin doesn´t do this if you don´t have a top tear watch.
Since february, an update introduced "daily stress". Your daily life, sleep, accumulated stress from activites are now monitored ... Has it improved your experience ?
Nice review! I ended up with the Apex 2 Pro for the maps. All in all, cross brands, price/features I did found that one the best. There are cheaper, faster, nicer screen but at some point, it's just that.
Good relatively inexpensive watch, but among other things, the lack of music compatibility is a disappointment. MP3's !!??? I guess coros really misses 2010. I guess for $229 it's ok, but if I'm already spending over $200, I might as well spend $300-$400 and get a better watch with all or most of the features I want/need. $299 Garmin 165 music for example. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone still using the coros pace 2. I really want to stick with Coros, but I don't know. We all waited a really long time for this pace 3, and it's somewhat of a disappointment.
Thanks. Was thinking of replacing my Forerunner 55 with this one but having seen your review, I will skip this. I have also been looking at the Amazfit series which has become very competitive.
I’m torn between this and the Forerunner 265.. I love using my current Apple watch for music, I am a tech nerd so the display bugs me on the coros lol. I want the training plans that the forerunner has built into the watch, I’m torn!
