COROSPACE 3 GPS Sport Watch–Lightweight, Comfortable Running Watch, 17-Day Battery Life, Accurate GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Navigation, Sleep Tracking, Training Plan, Run, Bike, and Ski-White Silicone

I wear this daily. Tracking running activities, sleep, etc. I started tracking running with a forerunner 235 from Garmin about six years ago. Used that for about two years and then used a Garmin Fenix 5x Sapphire for almost the last four years. Build quality of the fenix was top notch but compared to the Coros I would rate Garmin software, heart rate monitor, GPS tracking and battery life as substandard compared with the Coros Pace 3. The Coros is better in every way in my experience. This watch is better in all the aforementioned ways plus the accompanying android phone app is far superior to the Garmin app as well in my opinion. It has everything you want without the things you don't want and just works as you'd expect. Watch and app interface are smooth and quick with little to no lag compared to my previous Garmin watches, plus all coaching and training plans are included with your purchase. No additional fees. Battery life has been better as well. I wear the watch 24 hours a day other than when showering and track three to four activities a week with all GPS systems on and I get between 10-14 days of use between charges. I love the Eliud Kipchoge edition. Very stylish. And the nylon band seems to be holding up well. I wash the watch and band after every activity and then swap to the extra black nylon band I purchased with the watch to avoid funk buildup. The bands dry within a few hours of washing. I just towel dry avoiding the Velcro fasteners with the towel, leave it out on the counter to finish air drying, and put on the spare band after each wash so I always have a clean dry band to use and so far after a few weeks of this routine both bands still look and function like new. Very pleased with this purchase and if Coros keeps up this level of quality, user experience and value for money I'm never going back to Garmin. I also ordered some little silicone caps to keep the charge port clean and dry between charges that work perfectly. I would recommend picking those up as well.

I have historically been an Apple watch guy through and through. So used to the cycle of a watch not making it through full marathon training long runs. Once my Apple Watch 7 battery started dying on me I decided to look elsewhere. Originally I thought Garmin, but doing research decided on Coros and I COULD NOT be HAPPIER!I absolutely love the app interface. As a very active runner who trains for races often, I love the data provided by coros. Some of my favorite features:- Ability to link my Runna training plan with the Coros watch and it will send me prompts to guide me through the workout. This is such a helpful feature for helping me stay organized! I have included a photo of the workout calendar.- The sleep data is very helpful as well. Also due to the significant battery life on the Coros Pace 3, you can actually wear the watch overnight and not need to worry about charging it for your early morning workout.- The amounts of data provided: You get data ranging from running fitness, to recovery recommendations, sleep, HRV, V02 max. If you like to geek out ( like I do, I highly recommend this watch for you.)- A downside to this watch is that it struggles on the treadmill ( honestly what watch doesn't?). That being said I love the feature where they allow you to adjust your mileage, this way you can just punch in the mileage that shows up on the treadmill.All in all, I will say. BUY this watch, especially at the price point... you cannot beat the Coros Pace 3!

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.
