AH! I made a mistake with some colors and labels in this video in the Heart Rate comparison. The colors on the legend are inaccurate. The colors on the graph are CORRECT so just ignore the legend. Sorry about that!
And when you hovered over them they're correct and you said them correct in the video. No big deal.
@@mlegrand I should really double watch my edits before posting them 👀
Good video actually but what camera you use ?
@@sonnyrizani1510 - He used the Sony A73 for this review. It's an excellent option if you're thinking about making videos but there are also some more affordable options on the market if you're thinking about making a purchase. 👌
@@mlegrand thank you its nice
i’m glad you have a working Pace2. i’ve been enjoying mine since launch and it has worked as expected every time.
Glad to hear yours is working great!
Great review! I'm glad you're clear on Running Power not really having a standard. I think that's the right way to look at that metric. Great video as always!
Thanks Matt!
Had the pace 2 since mid October and having pretty much the same experience as Dave suggested, it connects within a few seconds and audibly beeps at you to tell you its ready and tracking seems good including gps in wooded areas, all the watch features work pretty well. Loving the simplicity and accuracy so far. Its a great watch for every type of run.
If it had some navigation features it would be pretty darn ideal. I’m hoping whatever the future Apex is will have all of the Pace 2 goodness plus navigation!
Well done on reaching out to Coros to really determine the GPS accuracy.
Great work on another great video!
Thanks man!
I watched your first video pre-release as I was so enticed by the battery life and the simpleness of the watch. Your first review scared the heck out of me but it was the abundance of other results from DC and others that led me to buy it anyways. I'm glad you got to clean up the mess of the defective watch!
Yes! I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of my replacement unit. Glad it was just a one off thing!
Thanks again for this one man! In just bit your channel is going to hit 100k watch :D
Thanks! We’ll see 😬
Thanks for the video. I am planning on getting this one, a first time GPS watch owner. Love this channel and just subscribed. Keep it up👍
Thanks!
Hello Dave !!! great video editig and photograph..snowing already, looks really nice from here. Now, if I recall correctly, your initial GPS validation was on trail routes with heavy trees in between the ground and the sky. Coros pace 2 is not a trail watch but still I would like to see how it performs under the trees. Thanks again and cheers from Mexico.
That’s correct but it was also quite bad on roads. This new watch is light years better than the previous one I had and I’d expect it to be just as good on trails. For example the first Pace 2 I had took almost 10 minutes just to get a lock on a clear day. This replacement achieves a lock in just a few seconds. If anything changes on trails I’ll be sure to update!
Really appreciate all of your reviews- entertaining and informative. I need a new watch (my old Garmin is DEAD) - triathlete so I need multisport (train with HR on the run, power on the bike and GPS on the trails) trying to find the best “affordable” option... I don’t need it to answer phone calls, play music etc. I’m thinking this is the one- over the pricy Fenix 6. Thoughts. So happy to have found your channel.
For purely road running the Coros Pace 2 is pretty awesome and hard to beat at it's price. If you need navigation, or want maps or music on your watch that's where the Fenix has the advantage. Thanks for watching!
I saw you on the Coros page, and awesome review, new sub!
Ayyy, somehow just subbing. Been using garmin watches my whole life, but have been interested with the COROS pace 2 specifically for that GPS accuracy. Glad you got a non-faulty one! Seems to work like a charm now (especially for 2hundo). ✌🏼
Awesome! Enjoy!
I really like the nylon band. I often forget I'm wearing the watch, and I've never had it come undone. If you're planning to swim with it, definitely get the silicone though.
For sure. I love the feel! As you mentioned it's not great when it becomes waterlogged though!
Hi Dave, excellent review. I had my pace 2 for about a week now and the only real issue I'm having with it is the wrist based heart rate monitor. I've used it now a few times, both for runs and for walks (using the GPS cardio workout), and compared to my Apple Watch series 5 it seems to spike every now and then and the heart rate will rocket to over 180bpm even when just going for a walk. Even when it doesn't spike I'm finding that the heart rate recorded is typically around 10bpm higher then the Apple Watch. I do however have a polar H10 strap and will pair it up with that now for heart rate monitoring. Otherwise I'm very impressed with the display, training tools and the battery life.
The only advice I can give is to wear it as tight as possible. Also, using the COROS nylon bands can help a lot as well.
Cool! I ordered the Coros Pace 2 last week even after watching your first review. Its reasonable price and the frequent firmware updates won me over. I do not need navigation at this point nor music. I like supporting a newer company. Competition is a good thing. Thanks for another great video.
Awesome! Yes, competition drives everything forward! I’m sure Garmin has taken notice . Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the update! Still waiting for mine to ship (USA)...ordered directly from Coros on October 5 😭😭
They've had a hard time keeping them in stock due to demand! Not surprised... Hope yours shows up soon!
It's funny... This day in age when you see a guy with multiple watches, a GoPro with a gimbal running down the street, you shrug and think.. "must be a UA-camr"....
Haha I hope that’s what people assume! Otherwise I’m just super vain 😂 . It’s for science!
Or worse... Ticktocker! 😁
Hi, excellent review as usual. Your video introduction always make me smiling :)
I wanted to tell you that there is an inverted color mistake between curves and labels at the video (timeline 6'00") when you compare heart rate accuracy. Nothing important though.
Keep going !
GAH!!! Thanks for catching that. I always miss something. Fortunately the smaller labels are still correct. Thanks for watching!
Agree w Charles on the intro. The guitar intro has been pleasantly stuck in my head for a couple weeks.
@@HoytMcBeth hah that’s awesome. Thanks !
Thanks Dave, it seems that Coros watches are very good and have a lot of fonctions, they don’t need a lot now to be ahead of Garmin and Polar, in my opinion they already overtake Suntoo...
They’re certainly making waves in this space!
I have this theory that the wrist HR is ineffective by having a cold wrist until the wrist gets pumped full of blood. I find my Pace 2 works much better on HR in the summer months where my wrist is already warm (vascular dilation)
Firstly, thanks for this review and your original more detailed one. Appreciate the update, but what is your verdict on the GPS wrt trail running? Per this video it tracked well on what looked like a road run, but does that extrapolate to a trail run through some thick woods? Also, why is a specific trail run profile selection needed on this watch? With barometric altimeter and good GPS, should that not equate to main parameters needed for a good trail run tracking without such a profile selection present on the watch?
It's great! The replacement device has been way more reliable and in-line with my other devices. Unfortunately its still missing trail specific features like navigation. Having a specific "trail run" app is helpful for some third party services to distinguish which activities were road runs. Also for V02 Max estimating. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of. I just find it silly that they couldn't add in a dedicated profile since it's essentially just a copy and paste in the code! Thanks for watching!
I had the same problem with my Apple Watch last year. Everyone was saying how good the GPS is on the Apple Watch (besides the corner cutting, which is a software issue), but mine was just horrible and got worse over time. So I reached out to Apple, they swapped it and now it works flawlessly and I even have a couple of months of warranty on top.
Same thing happened with this Coros. The replacement I got was MUCH better. Thanks for watching.
Love your work man. I run trails and roads (like 300 miles last year, so I am not an ultra guy, but love unknown terrain). Until now I tracked and navigated with my smartphone. Did not want to spend a lot for my first watch, so bought Pace 2. Now I have it unpacked and have second thoughts - am I missing a lot with the trail mode? I also hike and the watch does not have hike/walk mode. Is watch based navigation worth it over smartphone? I really hate that they cut the software to make people like me buy Apex. So now I consider returning my Pace 2 and buying Apex only for the trail and hike modes and navigation (don't care about materials).
Not having a Trail mode isn't a huge deal with the Pace 2. Just go into strava or whatever and mark it as a trail run manually after your run. Or just forget it all together because it doesn't make too much of a difference in the grand scheme. It only bothered me because typically using run vs trail run makes a difference in how the watch calculates recovery, and V02 Max but because Coros isn't very accurate here either (on any watch) I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I personally REALLY like having watch based navigation as a trail runner because I know I'm on track at a glance without having to dig out my phone and stop my run. Also when you're navigating a pre-designed course the watch will alert you if you go off track which has saved my butt a few times. If that's not something you typically need and it's only a once and a while thing I'm sure the smartphone will get you by! Thanks for watching!
Dave - for some reason I thought you were in Colorado like Des. Your area looks beautiful!
Hey, if you’re willing, I am flip flopping btw getting the Pace2 or Ignite as a fitness focused upgrade from my AW Series 3. My body isn’t handling the amount of running that I’d like to do, so the Ignite’s suggestions of supportive workouts and better sleep diagnostics are tempting. But the Coros seems like a better running watch. Curious if you’d have anything to add. I know you found the Ignite’s touch display and lag in wrist-raising annoying. Thanks for a great channel.
Colorado! I wish. I have to settle for the hills of the north east! I’d say go with the Polar if you want more training tools. The Pace 2 is awesome but it won’t provide you with much valuable feedback on your training. You could consider a stryd pod for more info but that will add to the cost. Hope that helps!
@@ChaseTheSummit Thanks so much for the advice! I just signed up for my first race - a 15 mile trail run in May - so you’ve made the decision for me. Really appreciate your time!
I like the tshirt color and design :)
Thanks!
Great comparison! What application did you use to plot all the data from different devices?
Quantified!
After my 3rd Garmin F945 replacement I'm sick of it and am looking for something cheap and cheerful and this one seems to hit the spot! By the way I only became aware of this company yesterday, while looking for other brands out of frustration
Yikes! what happened to your 945's?
@@ChaseTheSummit screen corruption, dead buttons
hei dave. just to let you know there is a mistake on the HR graph. The Coros P2 is light green in the description/(legend?) opposed to violet as in the graph. cool to see your videos getting track. greetings from switzerland
Thanks... yep that was a mistake but the graph and what I say is correct. I pinned a comment addressing it. Thanks for your feedback!
I have a Garmin fenix 5x plus and a Coros Apex.. so so comfortable, more then my Garmin. But I still love my Garmin more.
Different tools for different jobs! The Apex is great, I'm looking forward to whatever the "Apex 2" looks like!
nice video!
Thank you!
Hi, Dave and everyone!
I have a question: I wanted to know if when the watch gives the activity alert (automatic lap) the screen doesn't really light up? I just bought one and I run at night and I noticed that every km, the alert was activated, I felt the vibration but the screen did not light up. Is that right or do I have some misconfiguration?
good review Dave ! but I'm surprised by the accuracy of HR reading...mine is so unreliable to the point it's useless...it makes the purchase disappointing. when I see the reddit comments I'm not the only one...not sure what to think of this. maybe so defective models sometimes
Optical HR sensors are tricky because some people can have excellent results while others have less luck. Things like skin color, hair density, body fat, etc.. all play a role along with how tight the band is worn. I think the Nylon band helps a lot too. Thanks for watching!
Hi and thanks for the video.
Did you test the GPS as well in the forest with the new watch?
Was it also better than with the first or also "way off"?
Thanks!
Yes, the new Pace 2 has great GPS performance on or off the road. Thanks for watching!
@@ChaseTheSummit ok, then I go for it I think.
great review, i want to purchase the Pace 2 but is the heart rate metrics accurate or would you recommend something else?
Thanks! HR performance is "OK" on the Pace 2.
hello! nice video
Thanks!
Hi! I got one question. As a trail runner i very much appreciate the altitude measures (elevation gain/loss and height). Does not having a trail-running mode any difference in those parameters? Considering this watch has barometric-altimeter it shouldn't, right? Just concerned about that specific point, for the rest i'm very surprised with the whole model. Thank you very much for your reviews, they're so good.
No effect on elevation data. The only downside to not having a "trail run" activity is that it will mess up your training metrics if you "trail run" using the "run" activity. Other than that, these activity profiles are just copy/pastes of eachother.
Dave, it would be worth it to make it clear that despite how similar power from Coros and Stryd are, the Coros way of calculating power doesn’t take into account the form power measured by Stryd. Simply because a watch cannot do it. Therefore it makes it questionable that Coros did not calibrate their output to purely mimic the Stryd values. As a consequence, I would not recommend to runners who have a Coros and a Stryd to rely on the Coros power if they forget their Stryd pod. Particularly if they run on a soft surface (sand, mud, snow).
I suppose it depends how seriously you're taking your data. For me, I could see some situations where I could rely on the wrist based power if I didn't have the Stryd Pod with me. Particularly on roads or packed trails. But I'm mainly interested in the trends and not particularly interested in interval training with Power. Of course the Stryd is the gold standard and can't be replicated by a watch. But Coros is getting darn close! Thanks for watching!
black friday comings soon.... drolling for a new watch! garmin fenix 6x maybe?
There were some great deals during Prime Day. Should be interesting to see what pops up!
hey! sorry to hear that your first review unit had bad sensors. I am currently planning on buying the pace 2. but this got me thinking about the possibility of getting a broken one like you. Was your first unit a preproduction one ?
My first one was a production unit but it was pre-launch. I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue so I think it was just my bad luck. Fortunately, you can always return it. Coros also has excellent customer service!
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks a lot for the reply. My next half marathon training will be 🔥
@@therunner9641 good luck!
I had this issue with the Apex. They tried to troubleshoot with the data I sent but never offered to replace it. I had to return it. 😭
“Quite a project!” You’re right, it’s work. However, if you like your work, you’ll be fine 👍🏻
Love it, I just wish it was my only job! Haha. Thanks for watching.
@@ChaseTheSummit : You’re welcome! Keep up your good work in your 2nd job
I’m not sure how much time you spend in the coros eco system or if you have any insight into this problem, but It seems no matter what I do I get a low rating on my training load. I ran a 1/2 marathon with a 7:30ish mile avg pace and it told me that run was a low training load. Have you seen a similar issue with the coros watches or do you think you don’t use them enough?
I’ve noticed a similar trend. Training load, v02 max, and other fitness metrics have never been super accurate in the Coros app. Great watch! But that side of things could use some polishing!
hi - great video as always
Thanks!
Hi! Between the Garmin Fr 745 and the Coros page 2, which one do you recommend? Thank you!
They're both pretty great. The 745 has a bit better GPS accuracy and more smartwatch features along with training tools and a slightly more premium feeling build. It also has more activity profiles to choose from and Navigation features. The Pace 2 has much better battery life and it's obviously much cheaper. The choice is yours!
Yo man. Hey did I just meet you in the Manchester airport yesterday?
Haha nope! Did you say hi?
Rofl re Dog Hair. The struggle is real.
Telling you had to take your 945 off 😉.
I saw that when editing and was like "Nooooo!" . Thanks for watching!
Is there a good way to get in touch with Coros about GPS issues? I feel like my Pace 2 has similar GPS issues - it's certainly less accurate than my iPhone XS and by the looks of it your new Pace 2 is so much better.
They're pretty responsive if you email them through their website. There's also a very active COROS facebook group that employees interact in.
I have read reviews on amazon stating the pace 2 didnt charge off usb/power banks only off wall chargers? Did you ever test this as I need a watch that will charge off my power bank for multiday off grid hikes! thanks
The Pace 2's I have can charge off USB power banks. No problem here! I've tried on several different banks without issues.
Please Give me a suggest to choice.. fr45, fr245 or pace 2? Thankyou...
Kinda depends what you want out of your watch. Are you interested in "smart features" or simply need to track activities? The Pace 2 is awesome but it's very basic and doesn't feature a whole lot in terms of "smartwatch" features. You get the basic stuff like reading text messages but that's about it. The Garmin options have much more flexibility and access to the Connect IQ app store. That said, coros has CRAZY battery life and fantastic features like wrist based running power. The choice is yours! Thanks for watching!
I have been using coming to 2mths and only complain is the fluctuation of HR (I'm using nylon band, pretty snug fitting). No major GPS issue for me except it's sensitive to low rise flyover or bridges, otherwise it's not bad in accuracy. Literally majority of my runs my HR either spike up super high for awhile before settling down or spike up in the middle of an easy run. I totally understand this is a flaw of WHR but my old 935 does to track better. Any pace 2 users face the same HR issue as me?
For sure, the OHR on the Pace 2 isn't perfect even as shown in this video. I find that it "stabilizes" after a few minutes of running but it's a bit laggy when the HR drops or raises rapidly.
Great vid man! Question, for yourself and others - Does the Coros line of watches sync with Strava/MyFitnessPal? I had the biggest disappointment when I swapped from my Garmin to the Huawei GT2. (Admittedly I probably should have done more research) Only to find out the Huawei app doesn't sync with any 3rd party apps. The hardware is great I love the actual watch, its a really nice piece - screen is really bright and has lots of workout modes, is built well, but the software is horrible! doesn't integrate with anything apart from itself. It does have better functionality if you have an android phone but the iOS version of the app gets even less features than the android counterpart which I find crazy.
Yes, COROS syncs with strava but not myfitness pal. There may be a 3rd party app to sync strava with MFP but I'm not entirely sure.
@@ChaseTheSummit Cool thanks man! Yea its weird how does MFP chose who syncs with them/do the wearable companies have to approach them. There are some likeable players like Huawei, Coros, Mobvoi, amazefit but the lack of integration is so annoying. Some of their watches are great pieces but the software is so behind.
Is that snow already? I'm in Toronto Canada and we still don't have any....yet
Sure is!
please be honest
is the sleep tracking any good ?
I have seen 40$ Bands having a great accuracy for sleep tracking
is this good for sleep tracking or just for running ?
It's hard to say because I don't have a scientific way of measuring the sleep accuracy. What I can say is that it does line up with my Garmin's which is a good thing.
I am waiting mine Coros Pace 2 tomorrow. Any honest opinion ? After long term use ? I am a walker ( but not Johnny ) not a runner my watch now is the Garmin Fenix 3.
It's an awesome watch! Pretty incredible value for $200 bucks. Enjoy!
@@ChaseTheSummit tnx mate
It’s out of this video but i’m really curious about why nobody makes new Garmin HRM Pro vs Polar H10 chest strap comparision challange?? Thank you
Interesting idea for a video. For me, I just don't think they're all that different. Results would probably be pretty similar. At the end of the day the H10 is better if you own a Polar watch. And the HRM Pro is better if you own a Garmin watch since they unlock additional features in their respective ecosystems.
@@ChaseTheSummit thank you very much
For running would you suggest the coros pace 2 or coros apex
For purely running the Pace 2 is awesome. I'd only step up to the Apex if you value higher build quality. Thanks for watching!
Is it possible to create custom activities out of the gps cardio mode? Thanks
Nope. The activities are what they are. However, you can customize the data pages of the activities to your liking.
Hello my friend, are you recommend this or forunner 245 for someone who just doing outside running ? Ty for your answer.
Have you seen the Forerunner 255? 👀
@@ChaseTheSummit Sadly too expansive , i can have the Coros pace 2 for 199€ and Forerunner 245 for 220€, 350€ for 255 for me is too much. ^^
bonjour , j'hésite vraiment entre la pace 2 et la Forerunner 245 . La Forerunner à un mode trail mais pas l'altimètre barométrique et j'ai peur d'avoir un grand manque de précision des données .
C'est une décision difficile. Le Pace 2 est un excellent rapport qualité-prix, mais le Forerunner 245 a beaucoup plus de fonctionnalités et bien sûr la possibilité d'avoir de la musique à bord. L'absence d'altimètre n'est pas un problème à mon avis, car l'altitude basée sur le GPS est assez précise. Cependant, vous ne pouvez pas obtenir une lecture en temps réel de votre altitude actuelle si cela vous intéresse. J'espère que cela pourra aider! Merci d'avoir regardé!
Coros pace 2 vs vivoactive 3 which one would you choose?
For running specifically I'd go with the Pace 2. For general wellness, and other activities probably the Vivoactive.
Can you do the review on Amazfit stratos 3 and amazfit T-rex please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll see what I can do!
so a pace 2 PLUS navigation what watch would that be??? (in a reasonable price)
The Coros Apex adds navigation. Not full mapping but it can follow a course and get you back to the starting point of a run or ride . Hope that helps!
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks mate!
I have to ask ..
I am looking to buy a new watch. i do not care about emails or notifications AT ALL. I need a watch for the various sports I do (Hiking, Running, Crossfit, Gym)..
I searched for comparisons but couldn't find any.
Why to buy Garmin or Coros or Suunto, when someone can buy Galaxy Watch 3 which has the same (almost) apps ? (yup, noob questions here).
I know that the Garmin is more rugged in that matter, but other than that, if looking on functionality, what justifies these over regular Smartwatch ?
There's a few advantages to a straight up sports watch. The most obvious being battery life. This Coros Pace 2 can last for weeks on a single charge and up to 30 hours in GPS mode. Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, Ticwatch, etc... all die within a couple of days of use. Another advantage is typically the sensors. Sports watches have dedicated altimeters, compass, barometer, and usually higher quality HR sensors (with the exception of the Apple Watch S6). Also, some people don't like needing to be "connected" to utilize all of the functions of their watch. A Garmin Fenix 6 has full offline maps... no internet required. There's a lot of pro's and cons. It's about choosing the right tool for the right job! For most, a smart watch is perfect (if you don't mind charging routinely). Hope that helps!
@@ChaseTheSummit Thank you, this really helps :)
I have had burn marks on my wrist, while the manufacturer wants to blame my use case and asked to use diaper rash cream...such lame reason no issues with apple watch
Weird, I haven't had that issue.
Does the coros app require cloud upload to function? If yes what watches don't?
Yes, the app requires an internet connection to sync your activities. Most modern day fitness watches work this way. I suppose if you wanted to stay offline you could use a Garmin watch like the Instinct and manually send your activities to your computer over USB.
Thx very much for your reply!
Does coros have a similar system to Garmin Coach?
Not quite, but they do have a training plan platform that you can import your own or a store bought plan into.
I loved my Coros Pace 2, but after only 2 yrs and 4 months it has broken and Coros won't repair or replace it 😥 The bezel has stopped working. Very annoying as it has made the watch unusable. A total waste of money, I would expect a watch that costs that amount to last at least three or four years, really disappointed.
Can't ignore the reflection on your head.
Ha! That's why I have a hat on in most of my videos.
Coros pace to heart rate purple or green?
Not sure I understand? Are you asking what color the sensor lights are?
As much as I would love the nylon strap, I just sweat too much and the smell will be nauseating in 2 months
Good point. It does seem to absorb a bit of moisture during workouts.
I wash mine regularly by hand with a bit of soap and lukewarm water, sometimes using an old soft toothbrush, comes out like new!
Can you fit the nylon band (that one for the vertix) on the Fenix 6? This band seems to be very good and garmin dont have such a band, also i dont find any other third party version like this coros band.
And as always, great review :)
Theoretically it should fit since it’s 22mm I’ll have to try that. Thanks!
@@ChaseTheSummit would be nice if you can try this, since you have one in 22mm to try

Is the pace 2 enough of a device to compete with the Garmin 245 or 935 Dave?
For running? Yes. The only thing it lacks is any form of navigation. Otherwise it's quite solid!

Even if I wasn't an "influencer" I'd assume they'd replace a faulty device under their warranty. For what it's worth it seems like I'm the minority here. I haven't seen any comments or posts in forums/facebook groups that indicate this is a widespread issue with the Pace 2. Seems like I just had bad luck!
so - generally it's 50% someone will have a faulty device in case of order :D
Doesn't seem that way. Judging by reviews and from the comments on my videos it seems like mine is the minority. Just my bad luck I guess!
What is the app that yo used for comparing heart rate and power data?
Hi! Between the Garmin Fr 245 and the Coros page 2, which one do you recommend? Thank you!
I have a video coming about that very subject. Stay tuned.
