I was lucky enough to test this watch for the past few months. As soon as I took it out of the box, it became my daily driver. Heart rate and GPS was always spot on. AMOLED screen is beautiful in person. As always with Coros, battery life is incredible and the watch is super light. It’s honestly, the perfect watch for me, not even close.
Nice, thanks for the review. I'm looking for a new watch and tried the Pace 3 but that was too small on my wrists, so definitely interested in this one. AMOLED display, offline maps, and great battery life is a huge win at 349
Finally, an AMOLED! I've always admired Coros for its design and brand, while Garmin tends to be too pricey. Plus, the MIP display is definitely a dealbreaker for me.
I never had any problems with the glass on the Pace 3 but did notice that the case was a little soft, making it easily scratched. I would be pretty mad if I paid over $300 for a watch and ended up getting a huge gouge in it
With this price it’s like a 265 (on sale) and not that far from de Polar m3. I hope we can see a comparison, because one of these three might be the next purchase
I need your input. I have been in an Apple Watch 3 but I can’t stand the battery life. I am a casual fitness guy who runs, hikes, jump rope, lifts weights and ski’s. I am trying to decide on the best bang for my buck and overall value. Heart rate accuracy and battery life matter to me along with decent gps….. Anyway, I was able to get a Garmin fénix 7 sapphire solar for 490 bucks on sale BUT it’s still in the box… since I am also researching the Amazfit T- Rex 3 and this watch. I care more about the overall value and a watch that will serve me well for a long time. I have also considered the coros vertix 2s. I do like the look of a slightly beefed up watch even tho my wrists are smalller. Which watch do you think is the best deal and value ? Should I keep the Garmin fénix 7 sapphire solar that I got at a great deal ? Or should I return it and go for the amazefit t-rex3 or a coros? Any input is greatly appreciated and thank you so much for all the great content you put out for us all
They should have made the price more compelling like at $299. Cut down on stuff like 32GB internal storage... and dominated the market with lower price. At similar price to Apex $349 is $120 more than Pace 3. Price point is not amazing anymore as Pace 3 was before compared to other watches
Very disappointed in the pricing. This should be at $450 cad and not $500 cad. Plus I will still need to buy a nylon strap. I thought this would be the watch I upgraded to but now I'm back to the Race S.
Cool but odd product. I definitely wouldn't trade my Pace 3 for this as it's a step backwards in the most important areas (size / weight / battery life). A lot of us still prefer MIP over AMOLED too. It might be a nice alternative for the Apex crowd though as it's still really light.

As always a detailed and honest review, thank you 🙏
You're welcome and thanks!
amoled screen with everything on and it last for 5 days... this is crazy good.
fantastic video as always Des. This watch fits every one of my requirements
Thanks!

great review! just subscribe your channel, cant wait for the updates on this new coros!
Thanks!
Good stuff. Thanks, Des. Bike nerd question: Can it connect to a power meter?
Yup, but only over Bluetooth. Thanks Ben 🤙
Amazing they prioritised a new CPU/GPU in contrast to Garmin with the Fenix 8 - lag and load times is just lazy and this UI looks smooth
Yeah and the Fenix 8 costs 3x as much lol
Nice Des!
🙌

Sir can you also do some comparison between this coros and Garmin 265 😊 thank you

The Suunto Race S is in the same ballpark, too.
Can U set watch this way? -> always on in sport and gesture in watch mode?

Wonder why they put the price point same as apex 2. Maybe should set the price between apex 2 and pace 3?
Would you pick Sunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro? ALSO WHICH APP is better?

Facts.
Is the watch the forerunner 265 killer?
Is pod 2 still working with that watch
Can I listen music and attend phone call in this version
Amezfit t-rex 3 review
You may have noticed some T-Rex 3 data in this video ;)
Very disappointed in the pricing. This should be at $450 cad and not $500 cad. Plus I will still need to buy a nylon strap.
I thought this would be the watch I upgraded to but now I'm back to the Race S.
Also in Canada here, and just upgraded to Pace 3 instead of this today.
Pace 3 Pro finally launched.. but no launch day promo? Price is right in the middle.... and even can consider some Garmin watch at thtat price.
Clown you
