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

This watch continues to impress me with how lightweight (under 40 g) and comfortable it is—perfect for long runs and all-day wear. The dual-frequency GPS locks on quickly and stays accurate, even in dense tree cover or urban environments. Battery life is stellar too—I get over a week of daily use or nearly 30 hours with GPS tracking before needing a charge. The display is clear, bright, and easy to navigate, and the activity profiles (running, biking, skiing, etc.) are well-supported. It feels like a premium training watch without the premium price. One feature I've genuinely missed is a “distance today” widget. Apparently it’s not currently available—users have pointed out on Coros forums and Reddit that the watch doesn’t track daily walking or “distance traveled” like you’d expect

Purchased for my 18 year old son that loves to run. He is utilizing this so much more than the Apple Watch he previously had. This watch is helping him tremendously with meeting his running goals. He will be attending college in the fall and running cross country and track so this will help him so much this summer!

I love the long battery life, it really does last almost 2 weeks, even after owning it for 6months. GPS is very good, no cutting corners on the data when turning. Watch is small and light. App gets the job done. HR seems pretty good. Step counter seems good. Satillite syncing before an activity is pretty quick. All if it is better than my previous Garmin Vivoactive 3. My only complaint is the charging cord is finicky. I contacted support and they sent a new cord, but still has issues. It'll stop charging depending how the watch is setting on the table. It fully charges in like 90min and good for another 2 weeks.

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

I'm a runner and I wear my coros pace 3 all the time. It is very lightweight and comfortable, I ended up getting the silicone band since it was waterproof and looked better in my opinion. The silicone is very soft to the touch and the coating hasn't worn off yet (I've owned it for 6 months). It's so lightweight and comfortable sometimes I forget it's there. It provides pacing and accurate gps data during activities and even has a weight lifting mode (sometimes doesn't track reps for specific exercises but that's not the main purpose of the watch anyways). I also like it includes a running fitness chart and workout plans as well as a tracker for fatigue and race predictions. You can change the watch face to any image you want and use various dials. The watch doesn't come with any wireless pay. The main difference between this and a Garmin is the Garmin supports Spotify (you do need premium) and downloads wirelessly but it is a lot easier to listen to music through the watch then on the coros where you would have to download an mp3 of the songs and connect it to a computer. Battery life for me is 14 days with ~5.5 -6 hours of gps usage a week. The watch also supports routes to follow, but in my opinion it's a little difficult to follow. Overall, the coros pace 3 is a great choice to track your activities and has excellent reliability and tracking, but could use better music support and maps. I would recommend this over garmins simply because the features are more sports oriented at coros but if you want a more lifestyle watch I would recommend Garmin.

I am delighted with this watch. Recommended by Chat GPT over Garmin and Apple Ultra 2 ( I tried it and return it because it is not only expensive, inaccurate and HUGE for sports) This watch is a pleasure to wear, lightweight, accurate, reliable, comfortable, the data is amazing. I use it 24/7, charges very fast and the battery life is insane. Very happy. Not easy to find a good sport watch for swimming, specially for open ocean swimming!

This watch has (or had) so much promise. I had a 2021 Polar Vantage M2. And I wanted an equivalent watch. Which seems like the Pace 3. But…the Pace 3 had better features (that I care about) and it was less expensive 4 years later (I paid $290 for the Polar in 2021 and $229 for the Pace 3 in 2025. What technology should do…make things better and for less money. Perfect). Also, the Coros App is way easier to use than Polar. The problem with this Coros watch comes in the daily use…which amounts to multiple frustrating and annoying activities that cause me to give this a one star and return it. For starters, and this is a small thing, but every time I pick up the watch, the screen changes and it vibrates. The spin dial button is so sensitive that I have to pick up the watch like I would a glass of water that I mistakenly filled to the rim and didn’t want to spill it, just so the screen doesn’t change or vibrate. I guess I can turn off the vibration. But I just find it annoying that I hit that spin dial just picking it up and the screen changes. So I have to hit the back button to get back to the watch face. Every time I pickup the watch. Second, the charging wire seems to come loose and charging stops (See Video). The wire doesn’t feel loose. But when I pick up the watch while it is plugged in, charging stops. The consequence of this is that I plug it in, put it down, and walk away not knowing the charging stops. So I come back 2 hours later and the watch isn’t charged. Not good when I timed that for going on a run. Third, the silicon watch band is comically difficult to thread through the plastic clip and then again through the silicon watch end holder (I don’t know what you call it). So every time I put the watch on I struggle with that. It seems as if the thickness of the band is too big to feed through the clips. It’s a twice a day frustration. Fourth, and this was the deal breaker for me, I think the Engineers at Coros think Lock means “make every button work and work more sensitively.’ I lock the screen, but all the buttons still work. And the touch screen still works. Lock should mean lock….so that NO buttons work. What happens is that when I am running, I move my wrist and the activity screen changes to a screen I don’t want. So I look down at the screen and I do’t see the customized screen I configured. This happens repeatedly when I wear my RoadID on my wrist. The watch bumps up against the band. Fine. I take off the RoadID, which I should not have to do. Even then, the watch wheel button sometimes still changes screens when I bend my wrist and the wheel hits my arm. Fine. I delete the extra Activity screens so there is only ONE activity screen. Therefore, nothing else to change to. But the ONE Activity screen still moves on LOCK mode. I changes to the same Activity screen like it is moving to another one. It just recycles on itself. And each time it does it, the watch vibrates. Which, sure, I can turn vibrate off. But I shouldn’t have to do that on LOCK mode. I shudder to think what would happen when I wear gloves on a cold day. Moreover, I sometimes use Leki poles and this watch will constantly switch screens when it bumps up against the Leki wrist strap and change screens. Imagine that happening for 12 hours on a 50 mile race. I want to use this watch skiing. But since the Lock Screen doesn’t actually lock the screen, the watch will constantly be changing screens while I wear it under my ski gloves, etc. I’d upgrade and pay more for another Coros Watch but I think Coros designs the Lock Screen this way so all watches won’t have a Lock Screen. I will return this.

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...
