The comparison everybody was waiting for! Amazing you made this comparison.
Happy to help!
Can't speak to the Garmin but I love the COROS so far as a new runner. Had it just over a week and still have 25% battery remaining. Lots of good data in the app but not overwhelming. Coming from an Apple Watch Series 7, it's a big step up for my use case. Would highly recommend.
I bought the Coros Pace 3 and returned it because of the screen. I really like OLED so much more. I have the Garmin Forerunner 165 now and absolutely loving it.
Same 👍
I'm going to send a lot of people to this video. Thank you for making this!
Appreciate it, Matt!
The comparison that we all wanted...
🙌
In my country garmin 165 had similar price with coros apex 2
Great comparison! I have the Forerunner 255 recently got it love it & got it for $250 but ended up getting the coros 3 as well and love it at well so keeping both 🙌🏽
I REALLY NEEDED IT. Thanks man.
👍
The COROS Pace 3 is my first running watch and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. I use a heart rate strap for more accurate and instantaneous data. I’ve no experience with Garmin so it’s hard for me to say if it’s better or not. But this is a good comparison review. I use the Pace 3 exclusively for running and hiking and it’s been flawless. The Training Load is really helpful to get a feel for planning my weekly training, I’m now used to it resetting with the start of a new week and plan accordingly. The battery life is outstanding. Love the COROS app too.
10.34 Solid bike date, mate! 💪 That elevation and speed with such a low heart rate is strong!
This is what I was waiting for quite some time already! But will go to COROS Pace 3 on the features and price as I learned from the video. Also battery is better in the Pace 3.
Awesome video as always brother keep em coming!!
Thanks!!
Im so glad I went with Coros Pace 3!! I was worried about the brightness of the screen but it actually does well outdoors and when you use it. I absolutely love mine.
I prefer Garmin over Coros.
I LOVE my coros! For what you pay, coros gives you so much more.
@@blitzenJunior Did you buy or have it and actually use it?
@@santiagocarlin9130 Seriously!! The more I use it, the more features I find! Has everything I need!
@@santiagocarlin9130such as?
Great comparison! I went for FR165 coming from Apple watch and been using it for a month now. Using it mainly for running and gym activities and I agree with You, it is ideal for what I used it for. So far no complaints here even the battery life (Compared to what I had previously 🤣)
very nice comparison... love to watch it, dude...
Music 🎶, brightness and the contactless payment are what makes me go with the Garmin.
Nice comparison! Thanks for this. Garmin 165music ed for me. Coming from AW for many years.
Very welcome and enjoy your watch!
I already bought my Forerunner 165 but still watching
Coros! For the app alone it’s a win.
Better than GARMIN ? I'm hesitating ...
@@hdmedia7404 Better like in? Why you need the watch for?
I tested both and I'm loving the 165.
Care to share why?
@@janatarumsrihandono5672 I like the Buttons more and it looks less cheap. But mainly the display looks much better and it took very long to find gps on the coros. The only thing I liked more about the coros was the watch band, which I replaced on the garmin for around 10€.
"which is what a lot of us do of course" -- I laughed aloud at this 😀 I have been running for 10+ years now, still not enough self control to do negative splits 😀 Thanks for the vid, nice comparison!
Every. Single. Run. 😂
I’m not in the market for either one, very happy with my Epix Pro, but it was, as always, educational and entertaining to watch this clip. Well done and thank you!
Thanks so much!
Great comparison. But honestly, if i could find the Forerunner 255 in this price range(which is possible), even if it's used, i would take the 255 instead of both of these watches anyday. Even 255 is 2 years old, it is a better thing.
Depends, really. Some don't require the metrics of the 255.
It’s too dim.
I'd say if you're a more casual runner, the 165 would prolly be preferable over the 255 just for the AMOLED display.
This. Best watch for the price for sure.
I went for the coros pace 3.. i done need vibrant display or some smart features..i just need a watch to accurately track my activity matrixes and great battery life.. i only charge it for a while when im in d shower.. been using it for 2 months now and I've gotten a couple of firmware updates too.. it's taken my running game to a different stratosphere.. that said, im pretty sure d 165 is a good watch too.. just not necessarily for my use case
Great comparison. 👍💯
Would you mind also test the "Huawei Watch Fit 3", which just released a few days ago ?
Thank You🥰
Huawei watches are tough for me to cover properly since I live in the U.S. where they aren't available...sorry about that!
@@DesFit Thank you for your quick reply! 😀
The other smartwatch I'm interested in is the Amazfit Balance. According to "The Quantified Scientist" results, the heart rate sensor of the Amazfit Balance appears to be more accurate than that of most Garmin and Polar watches, especially during running. Additionally, the company frequently updates the firmware, continuously adding new features. The latest firmware update includes offline maps with road names, snowboarding and skiing trail navigation, and support for resort maps. I believe they may also add contour maps in future firmware updates. Moreover, certain versions of the watch are capable of measuring blood pressure and body composition.
Thanks for the review. I understand the screen on the Pace 3 cannot be configured to turn off and turn on with a gesture and instead is always on?
Continually impressed that a relatively small company like Garmin can compete with Chinese companies and American tech giants.
I'm looking to replace my aging Vivoactice 3, but the VA5 really feels disappointing to me based on what I've seen. Any chance we could get a comparison between the FR165, VA5 and Venu 3?
Wicked! 🔥
🙌
Yep! Can never go to Coros because of the dial instead of buttons, It will be a nightmare in winter when operating the watch with gloves on.
I miss the Interval timer, instead u can only adjust the tempo zone.
would love a huawei watch fit 3 review
Huawei watches are tough for me to cover properly since I live in the U.S. where they aren't available...sorry about that!
Pastries! 🤤
loving my 165, battery could be a bit longer but thats no dealbreaker for me.
I have to charge my Apple Watch twice a day. I bought the 165 but I’m not ready to ruin my streak with my current watch yet. 😅
Is there any problem regarding fr 165 gps accuracy while on race day? Tho, there will be a problem if a lot of people use all the gps at once
No problems
I have all these,in my opinion coros is far far far better than Garmin even as compared to epix. It's not the final data all about.. it's the accuracy during exercise.. most accurate heart rate sensor in COROS, sleep analysis best, software best, integration with phone best.. it's the best watch ⌚❤.. yes the screen brightness is dull in COROS but during the exercise MIp scree is looking much better.. remember coros is for workout not like apple watch
Again it will last long
No swimming drills on the coros... HUGE dealbreaker imo
I really like the Forerunner 265. What would be the closest equivalent from Coros to this watch?
apex pro 2 m8
Does coros pace 3 connect to Zwift?
Does it both sync with Apple Fitness rings?
What's your personal preference if you should buy something budget friendly?
Thks!
If u dont need music, then get d base model 165
Get the Pace 3, based on what I know, the software and most of the features are already packed in the Pace 3, even something from the upper models. The difference are mostly in the hardware (no Sapphire and Titanium), while the Garmin 165 lacks most of the features. And it would still get updates further down the road. If it is good enough for the fastest marathoner (Eluid Kipchoge) then it you can, bet that I can be good enough for you!
1 - 1
I would like to know Des opinion since he had both.
That's a tough one for me. I prefer a 5 button configuration and the AMOLED display of the 165 but also could benefit from the cycling power meter support on the Pace 3.
Coros feels like a garmin copy to me. A bit like apple and huawaii - not bad just would rather have the real thing
I went with the 165 because I do weight lifting and fleet feet does a 10% military discount
