Dave you can set the alarm to vibration only. On your watch go to settings -> more settings-> and then turn of alarm tones but turn on alarm vibrations
Wow thank you! I’m learning a lot after posting this video 😂
Just got my Coros today after 3 months with a Garmin Vivosmart5. I'm really enjoying the fact that this watch is for running instead of all the other stuff they tend to put on smartwatches. Thanks for the heads up on the alarm feature.
I’ve been made aware that you can set an alarm on vibrate 🙌🏻 If you read the other comments you can see how 👍🏼
Hi from Malaysia! Thank you for this video, looking forward for more sharing 😄
You’re welcome! Thanks 🙏🏻
I have never thought about flipping the watch upside down! Operating with the thumb is so much more intuitive. Thanks for the idea!
Game changer 🤝🏼
Drink every time he says “DA DA”
Hahaha much love man, good vid. Back light for Coros looks kinda mid too compared to Garmin but their prices are awesome for what you get.
The display doesn’t hit as hard as some of the Garmin for sure
Nice video. I wear both Garmin and Coros when I run. I’ve been a Garmin fan for a long time and love my new Garmin watch. I also love the Pace 3. I never leave home (traveling) without having both watches.
Double trouble ahha 😅
I freaking love my Pace 3, I’ve had it since February. It’s my first running watch and I have no regrets, it does everything I want.
I use a HR chest strap because I find the feedback to be more instantaneous. I’d love the Pod but I’ll resisting and holding out for the Pod 3.
The battery life is amazing.
Love it mate 👊🏼 I’m interested to see what the pod 3 has to offer
I just don’t want to leave the Apple eco system. I like the rings and the social aspect of the Apple Watch.
The touch screen lets me down with the Apple Watch unfortunately. Great for the social aspect tho!
Great Video! But I feel as though you had an older Garmin model before you swichted to Coros. My Forerunner 265 has pretty much all the same Features you mention, and has some other conveniences, therefore I´d say Garmin is at least as good as Coros in my opinion. But after checking the price I am quite impressed, because especially for the price it seems like a great option!
To be fair, my previous Garmin is now discontinued! Ahah so definitely an older model. I have heard really great things about the 945. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Does the Coros have any features like PacePro? Wondering if it lets you set up a pacing strategy, negative splits etc. and display readout of how you're tracking against the goal pace.
Yeah it does! It has exactly that 🤝🏼
Finally switched from Coros (Pace 2 for 4 years) to a Garmin Instinct 2. People don't realize just how useful it is to have such a visible and functional screen. Wow. I have to squint and stare at the Pace 2 in comparison. I thought the black and white Instinct screen might be a bummer, but no, it is a game changer; I truly love it. It's simple, yet the hardware of the watch is pretty damn good.
Also, I purchased and returned a Pace 3 before finally trying the Garmin. The Pace 3 had an absolute joke of a HR sensor. I get it, they're "inherently inaccurate" sometimes, but I got great data from my Pace 2 for years, confirmed with a H10 chest strap. The Pace 3 was almost always locked onto my cadence (giving extremely high HR readings) even during easy, flat runs... and always worn as snug as it could be, even switching out to a Apex Pro 2 strap, often worn inside of wrist, trying both sides. what more can I say. that was terrible and I'm not willing to buy the external arm strap when Coros explicitly tells me the HR sensor on the Pace 3 is "improved"... BS... anyways...
Garmin Instinct 2 is wonderful. Bought the thing on sale from a place Eminem would have shopped back in the day (walls on the world) but online, plus $45 for 4 years of protection. needless to say I won't prop 'em up yet but sure wasn't Amazon. I haven't even connected the H10 because optical readings are plenty good SO FAR...probably around 200 miles off the top of my head.
Honestly, I don't think I'll go back to Coros for a bit, but I do think I'll keep tabs on other options in about 4-5 years. Wouldn't mind if it lasts a little longer.
I really love the display on a Garmin 🙌🏻 that’s awesome to hear
I had actually forgotten about the HR playing up on my at times, because I’ve been wearing the HR monitor so often. But that definitely was happening to me too.
if you had a chest strap why would you care if the Pace 3 had a good hr monitor or not?? I always use a chest strap I never use the optical on a watch. lol I would def. use it with your Instinct the only Garmin hr monitor that is truly good and don't lag is the hr strap by Garmin, I have the Epix pro g2 51mm and I have to use a h10 chest strap with it because of the hr lag on the optical hr monitor on the watch hell even AWU has a better hr than Garmin their GPS is better also, but I do love my new Epix pro it just makes a statement, everywhere I go someone always asks about it.
@@davidbraswell1481 that’s a fair point! Haha
The epix pro is a bloody nice looking watch 😮💨
@@DaveTheRunner tyvm my friend!!
I moved from Polar Vantage V2 to Coros Pace 3. There are still few bits i consider Polar better (Sparkfit or the excellent nutrition split after a run) however Coros is general an excellent choice. What I love about Coros is how they keep adding features and support old models while Polar is simply a launch and forget company and Garmin uses new features to push customers to buy the new models.
Thanks for that 🤝🏼 It’s a great little watch
The thing is the Garmin does all the same workout customization…? Also gives all the same sleep data. I struggle to understand whether Coros > Garmin as you insinuate in the title
I think the price range definitely makes it a contender. But I do agree it’s very similar in alot of ways.
@@DaveTheRunneragreed. I briefly owned the Garmin 265s and I just struggled to see why it was worth nearly double the price. The only benefits I found were the ability to edit reps for workouts after completion and the superior screen. Garmin does feel like a more premium device but I do think it’s overpriced when Coros gets you 95% of the way there for nearly half the cost.
Hey! I’m between forerunner 265 and Coros pace 3. You still recommend the Coros? The forerunner just looks so better and I think training readiness would be nice and the nice morning wake screen on the Garmin.
They are both going to do what you need them for 🙌🏻 I think whichever you like the look of more
so the biggest reason for you to go for the pace 3 is setting workouts ? not sure to get a Garmin or a coros haha
Coros is cheaper, Garmin is more premium. Which the price reflects. But both do the same things except Spotify isn’t on coros
Get a whoop! The data is top tier and it checks all the boxes off of what you’re looking for in addition to the Coros
I like having the screen there for live data 📈
Ive the Garmin 965 but the Coros pace 3 does look intresting
The 965 is an awesome watch
@@DaveTheRunner absolutely!! Tech packed, I'm lucky if i only use 10% of whats on the watch
Are you using the nylon strap on daily basis?
Yep 👍🏼 no problems with it
@@DaveTheRunner it does fine in heavy rain as well? And swimming?
CAPSLOCK
ALWAYS 😂
