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.
That's cool that you've been testing it for a while. I've also had a good experience with it. I was going to check out some of the other reviews to see if it was just me or if most people are enjoying this watch. Glad it's been solid for you! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Wow Lukh, that is super nice of you to say! Pressure is on now! 😂 What would you think about me branching out and making some non-review content? I've been thinking about making a series diving deeper into the history of some of this tech. 🤔
Coros has said that they are planing to keep MIPS options available for the forseable future, so I'm not worried about that. This is pretty cool and I am waiting for them to perform a similar update to the Apex line.
Yeah, I wonder if they'll do that. Maybe make a Pro line with AMOLED and a Non-Pro with MIP. Although, I would think 'Pro' ultra runners might not want AMOLED. 🤷♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@ Thanks Matt. Going to start doing more videos and content, too, Your channel is definitely an inspiration. Love the reviews. Love the content. Please keep it all coming!
Can't help you with that one. I've only ever seen the blue in person. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Nice video Matt. What about a full comparison video between Garmin 265 and Coros Pace pro? Just an idea :) These are my favorite options to buy at the end of the year.
That's a great idea!!! I'm a little behind on a lot of upcoming videos so I don't know if or when I'll get to it but I really think that these two watches are the ones a lot of people are going to be picking between. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Yeah, I was surprised to see COROS adding that to this watch. But maps do look good on an AMOLED display. I don't have any details on the temperature widget. Seems like something they could add within software pretty easily right? Will you review this one?
@@mlegrand Bring it on! I'm loving that maps are now a standard feature at a more affordable price range, it's only up from here 🔥Corr I will do eventually, need to finish off the M3 first 🙈
That's the one watch that I wouldn't expect COROS to try an AMOLED version of because of it's focus on ultra long battery life but who knows? Maybe they'll try it. 🤷♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Nice! I'm just worried I'm going to lose this thing. I need to put it on my keychain ASAP! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
This would have spectacular battery life with a proper MIP display. Everyone jumping on the super-bright marketing bandwagon but I still fail to see the benefit. All I want is a watch that can tell the time and show a bunch of numbers when I'm running and MIP can do that with no burn-in countermeasures and extreme efficiency. Maybe people are watching movies or reading books on this thing? Dunno.
How would you compare that watch with garmin forerunner 955? i can't decide which one is better. Keep in mind i dont care about amoled display, i prefer mip
If you don't care for the AMOLED displays, I'd defiantly skip them. They're pretty hard on batteries. The 955 is an extremely full featured watch. The nice part about AMOLED displays is that they're significantly sharper and can show more data on a map screen. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand Thank you for respond, you are making such a great work, ive watched a lot of your videos and im impresed by the quality of them, keep it up !
really ashamed that there is not an option with the nylon band (i cant wear silicone bands) like the pace 3 and that we have to had 30 euros in plus ... otherwise it seems a pretty intresting watch may be 50 euros to expensive for me
Yeah, it's an extra costs unfortunately. I've used both over the past few days and the nylon band is pretty nice. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Hey Chris, yeah, that was a pretty big mistake within this video. I kind of stuffed in a graph that wasn't particularly in line with what I was talking about at 13:31 but I noticed HR data being ok once it found and locked on my heart rate. It did take significantly longer than other watches to lock on. Also, this was an early beta build so it might be something they refine with this watch. 🤷♂️
Hmm, I think that's a really tricky call. I *think* I'd go with COROS for more flushed out features but the hardware on these two devices are very similar. Not to mention they're the exact same price.
My Pace 2 died last week. I was thorn between M3, Suunto Race S and Pace 3 Pro. But for me the design of the Pace 3 Pro is.. horrible? I ordered myself a Suunto Race S. As Legrand says, hardware etc they are basically same.
@mlegrand I decided go with open box Garmin 265 at same price. $350. I don't care for MAPs. I like Garmin watch INTERFACE better. Sunto could be better build but don't care for that as much. Battery life on Coros Pace Pro better but Garmin is enough and really disappointed at Coros for making Pace Pro $120 more than Pace 3. If they kept the price at like $299.. they would have dominated and brought more people over to their eco-system. I also went with Garmin 265 over Sunto Race S. Smart feature where you can touch it to turn off Screen. (I had that on Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic) based on reviews I like the daily training and recovery reminder. Good bye to Coros Pace 3, MIP screen sucked, I could not see it at all indoors; especially since older people like me. Need OLED Display. Coros Pace Pro at $350 is not worth it.. rather pay few bucks more to get 265 or 165 or Sunto Race S. and decided on 265. I think every watch has their pros and cons... I'm just going to be using it Running mainly... and 265 is suffices my need.
I've been liking it so far but I wonder if a metallic bezel might make it look a little more premium. 🤷♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

Discovered your channel 2 days ago and have to say already obsessed with it. Great work

Great video Matt!
Looks good. It's Coros being Coros.
Thank you Mario!
Great review as usual, Matt!!
Thank you so much Robyn! Congrats on finishing the Chicago Marathon!!! 👏🏻
@ Thanks Matt. Going to start doing more videos and content, too, Your channel is definitely an inspiration. Love the reviews. Love the content. Please keep it all coming!
@@RobynRunsFree - Can't wait to see what you do!
I’m torn about this one, got a FR965 for $400 a couple months ago. Seems like I should keep it but I have fomo of getting this haha
Keep Garmin. Better materials and mapping.
FR should be better in almost every aspect
Wow, that's a screaming deal for the 965. I wouldn't be worried about missing out here. You're set!!!
Can’t tell if the blue or the grey is the nicer color 🤔
Can't help you with that one. I've only ever seen the blue in person. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

That map refresh is delicious! 😍 Any news with the Temperature Sensor Widget? 🙈
Yeah, I was surprised to see COROS adding that to this watch. But maps do look good on an AMOLED display. I don't have any details on the temperature widget. Seems like something they could add within software pretty easily right? Will you review this one?
@@mlegrand Bring it on! I'm loving that maps are now a standard feature at a more affordable price range, it's only up from here 🔥Corr I will do eventually, need to finish off the M3 first 🙈
@ - I’m unboxing that as we speak.
@@mlegrand Let’s gooooo! Looking forward to your intro 🙈🤩
If it introduces a vertix with an AMOLED screen and payments, I will be happy to switch from AW Ultra :)

Coros sent me a similar keychain charger when the standard charger for my Pace 3 stopped working.
Yeah charging cable needed better design
@@harmony-one741 That was the goal of the new charging adapter for PACE Pro and it should greatly improve the connection when charging!
@@COROSGlobal what I love about you guys is the prompt response ! Please keep this up.
Nice! I'm just worried I'm going to lose this thing. I need to put it on my keychain ASAP! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

Go with pace 3 then, that is MIP and a great sports watch. This pro does look nice
Yeah, I love nothing more than watching a 3 hour movie on my COROS Pace Pro! 😂

DMIPS is a new unit to me 😂
Yeah, it's not something I was really aware of either.
Can you remove the annoying ads exactly where you click to go back 10 seconds?
Did I miss it? Heart rate accuracy?
Hey Chris, yeah, that was a pretty big mistake within this video. I kind of stuffed in a graph that wasn't particularly in line with what I was talking about at 13:31 but I noticed HR data being ok once it found and locked on my heart rate. It did take significantly longer than other watches to lock on. Also, this was an early beta build so it might be something they refine with this watch. 🤷♂️
Which would you pick Sunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro?
Race S seems better built my pace 2 died with screen issues…
pace pro for the features
Hmm, I think that's a really tricky call. I *think* I'd go with COROS for more flushed out features but the hardware on these two devices are very similar. Not to mention they're the exact same price.

looks too cheap . i don't like it
