COROS PACE 3 REVIEW: The Best Running Watch Under £250 

Ben, thanks for the fantastic review! Since it's my very first running watch, I'm very pleased with the Coros Pace 3, which I received just recently for Christmas.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the vlog and the review. One of the best reasons to get this is the price, for the functionality it's an amazing watch and buy. I'm really enjoying you vlogmas uploads, thank you so much for taking the time to put them together.

I've been waiting for this one. Cheers!

Great Video Ben, great vlogmas content!

Hi Ben since viewing this vlog I have had a serious look at this watch given the functionality and price! However I have heard both from runners & seen on other RU-vid sites that there can be up to a 20-25 second lag when you are using pace as your main metric while running, and I was wondering if you have you ever experienced this. As I run using mainly HR & even when I do use pace as my main training metric I'm that slow it wouldn't bother me but I can see how a it would bother a runner doing split training or wants to hit accurate times during their training. Keep up the great work you have a fantastic channel.

Hey Ben, thanks for the review! I'm going to give it a try and see how it compares to my Garmin. On another note, how do you set up your treadmill for indoor runs? I find myself faffing around way too long at the gym and often end up doing just basic slow runs as I can't be bothered arranging the settings to do what I want!

I had no idea Coros had the Coros Training Hub, thanks for show us that Ben :)

Thanks for the review! It's cool that the watch will keep track of overall training volume, but what I actually want tracked is my weekly running volume, because I'm managing a running injury. I need a watch that will make it easy for me to see if I'm running too much. Will this watch do that? Thanks!

Thanks for explaining the indoor/ treadmill… I was so confused using it yesterday… i think I have an understanding of how to use it..😂

the charger comment is so on point. i bought a second charger to try and help with this issue 😂

thanks ben for the review I stuck between Coros pace 3 and t-rex 2 and I don't know which of them show me the exact pace

The scrolling button is what sets this apart from garmins. So easy to operate while working out

Great video 💪

I went on a bit of a mission the past few months to find the watch that suited me best. I am a beginner runner training for a marathon and have been running for about 6 months. I tried Polar pacer Garmin FR255 Polar Vantage V3 Coros Pace 3 Coros hands down winner for me! Garmin a close 2nd but the whole FR range just seems very overpriced compared to Coros. Polar was good but had huge issues with vantage v3 dying and being very buggy overall which was disappointing for the price. The pacer was very good also but for an extra £50-60 the pace 3 is incredible! The app and training stats are fantastic and the recent addition of HRV and personalised marathon plans are amazing Great video btw! Really enjoyed it

I ran with Viktor Smangs last sunday he told me you and him was running together back in the day. Best regards from Stockholm

Can't wait for mine to arrive😭😭😭

##MexicanGreetings! Awesome review! Do I have to use the watch 24/7 to get the most out of the training hub?

Can you connect a chest strap monitor to the Coros? I've got a Garmin HRM Pro that I currently use.

My biggest issue with the Watch was the screen was poor. I’m not sure if it’s font used or just poor quality screen but fonts were too small, you can see pixels, fonts aren’t smooth they’re jagged. Screen is also very dark. Even the lowest of the range Garmin the FR55 doesn’t have these issues

I've heard that the live pace given to you during your run can be laggy by up to 20 seconds? Is this true, and does it bother anyone?

How do you set up the sleep?? I’ve had the watch for 2 weeks and I can’t seem to figure it out!

just want to know, Is it you shirt is a new actibreeze from asics or it's another type?

Whould U recommend the nylon band or the silicone?

Hi. Do you think that the GPS is accurate. I wear a Garmin Forunner 55 and I find the accuracy of the GPS very poor. Thanks

Hello . Need help . How to enable seconds running always in coros pace 3. Need tutorial sir . Thanks

My Garmin Forerunner deleted my entire half marathon before uploading it. I immediately bought a Coros Pace 3. So amazing. Way better in my opinion. Cheaper too I'm pretty sure. I'm never going back to garmin.

Do you know if there's a way to see info on your activities such as lets say i do 50 secs workout, 11 rest, 74 seconds workout, 29 rest, etc.. that i could see how long the workout/rest times were? I thought i was recording that on the watch pressing the button as I went from on to rest back to on then back to rest but when looking at the data i couldn't see anything on that i think just a bulk on and bulk rest. Also is there a way to setup activities to start automatically at a specific time and I can do because like today I forgot to add in my workout and the watch just thought I was super stressed out lmao where last time it said i did like 340 calories this time it was only like 20 calories. But that's cool you tell it your speeds but that's probably only useful for a static thing like a treadmill the indoor bikes wouldn't be too accurate but i was kind of hoping there was a way to link it to the bikes, but i think they use that ANT+ stuff.

Im a pace 2 user and was debating upgrading to pace 3 as the multiple sensors on the pace 3 are much more accurate I decided to not upgrade but did add the hear rate arm band. Its been fabulous and im very pleased.

10th like. Been debating grabbing the Coros Pace 3 and the Pod 2.

Helló Ben, I watched a test with 3 and guy said, that most of runners watch pace lug is about 10 seconds, meanwhile Coros Pace 3 pace lug is 20 seconds. What is your opinion?

Hi Ben would you recommend this over a garmin watch price disregarded?

Hi Ben. Can I ask, have you used the Coros HR monitor with a Garmin yet? Thanks

Tempted to swap to Coros after this 👀

Is there any features you wish it had ? That Garmin of other brands may have ?

The treadmill mode on Coros is a great idea, but only being able to select speeds in increments of 0.5 mph isn’t nearly precise enough. Give us 0.1 and I’ll be over the moon!!

Kiprun GPS 900 vs Coros Pace 3?

When wearing the Coros HR monitor does this link to your watch and show your HR on the screen ?

One thing l don't understand is how my Traing Status can be 'Optimized" whilst at the same time my Recovery status is "Exhausted" and Recovery time is several days.

Can the pace 3 do audio pace alerts? like announce your average pace/hr at the end of each km split?

Everyone says how good the battery life is, but I seem to be charging my coros pace 3 every 2days. Are there some battery saving features I need to be using?

I need to move away from my Apple watch. But it’s just so easy to sync everything, and I have Apple Music and Spotify which is so easy to use as I run..

I have the coros pace 2 and ever since the pace 3 came out the gps has never worked correctly some examples are running a Parkrun and it measuring 3.5km this obviously ruins every other stat on the watch making it useless over then the stopwatch function anyone got any idea why this may have happened or is it coros being like apple and just trying to get me to buy the new pace 3 instead

🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for the review. I use the pace 3 for a few weeks, and ik like it. But one thing is not right. Coros give me a vo2 max way to low (48). Polar and Garmin give my vo2 max 54. Somebody have the same problem? (sorry for my english, (from the netherlands )

Which heart rate monitor is it??

Can you track the treadmill incline?

I doubt Coros or any wrist tracker can accurately measure treadmill paces. Stryd would be a better tracking device. At least for me it's spot on with the pace the treadmill is set at.

how can you use that watch upside down? (im right handed)

Returned the pace 3 after 5 days. Data was too too inaccurate for me. Loved the interface though

Nothings better than a Garmin🤷🏻

Wish Coros made a slightly larger version of this, 47-49 mm would be great and a bigger screen.

Did Coros pay you for this video?

Hi Ben 🇲🇦انا من المغرب

Garmin forerunner 965 best watch money can buy 👌 coros is junk had a pace 2 and it was shocking......yes the garmins is alot more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

The heart rate sensor improvement doesn’t really make that much sense considering arm and chest straps are basically the standard.

First

Second

5th like …. Yeah

Elevation gain and pace all over the gaf with Pace 3 🤦🏿‍♀️

Blames the watch for his own poor memory. Lol

still got nothing on a garmin. garmin #1 (coros has just copied garmin)
