    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.

    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.

    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.

      ​@@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.

    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

      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!
