Review on Coros PACE 2 Premium GPS Sport Watch With Nylon Or Silicone Band by Kipp Amundson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Love and hate

I am a walker, former runner, now back in 5k training. The main reason I bought this watch was because Garmin has lousy straps that irritate my skin and Coros has a great nylon option. LOVE: bracelet, lightweight watch, nice watch faces, only 2 buttons, fairly easy navigation, and an app that isn't eating my phone's battery yet; I also love this long lasting watch battery. HATE: Garmin app doesn't have workout plans - limited number to upload online which didn't work (still buggy), no walk/run workouts for beginners, or ability to set fitness goals (e.g. walk 30 minutes a day) . day for 30 days etc.), at least not as easily as I could with Garmin. This model does not have a "Find my phone" button or an emergency call function. Some functions/graphics are useless to me (barometric pressure?), although I think some athletes use them. In short, I need to find another learning and motivational app. Coros - please add training plans for beginners and include walking/hiking.

Pros
  • Sports and portable GPS
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
