Runners should already check Coros instead of Amazfit
The Coros Pace series build quality isn't great. They're all-plastic watches, normal glass screen. The base Pace 4 also has only a 1.2" screen (same as the Garmin 165, which is also a cheap plastic build). The Active 3 seems to be targeted as Amazfit's entry level running watch has better build qual

2026 Jersey City Marathon & Half Marathon - Post-Race Thread
I had a fun time. Really strong efforts out there on that course - you people did so well!! I was asked to pace JC a couple weeks out. I didn’t know much about it going in but studied the course / logistics and it went smoothly (hopefully my pace group agrees!). Getting to the start was easy - I cra

Suunto Run, is it better than Garmin 165 or Coros Pace 3?
As someone already tried 3 Brands (Garmin, Coros & Suunto) here's my high level review and ranking from Top-Bottom: Coros Pace 3 (or better Pace 4) PROS: Complete training load / status. Fitness test to update HR and Pace Zone. Training Plans built in. EvoLab Website. Simple and Straightforward Phon

Finally!
Welp looks like I’m leaving Amazfit and getting a Coros Pace 4, Pod, and armband… which altogether cost less than the Cheetah 2 Pro.

Why did so many people can't 100% breakup with Garmins?
I have to pulled the trigger and bought a coros pace 4 yesterday, downgrading from a Garmin forerunner 965, sick to death of the Garmin ecosystem/app. Wanting some cleaner & modern, Garmin app is laggy and design looks old and everything is such a chew to do on the app and the fact I won’t be gettin

COROS PACE 4 black crystal or Garmin 265s
Lol coros pace 4 is dual band gps where the 165 only has single band gps. Hindi "kalevel" ng 165 ang pace 4

Left Garmin for Coros
Last month I switched from a Garmin forerunner 955 that I’d had for a few years to the coros pace 4. It’s been a very good decision for me. I love having a dedicated run watch instead of a brick on my wrist that does a lot of smart watch stuff that I never used. Glad you’re loving your watch!!!
