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!
