Review on Coros PACE 2 Premium GPS Sport Watch With Nylon Or Silicone Band by James Brault

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic sports watch

After the death of my Garmin 735XT I bought a Coros Pace 2 and it exceeded my expectations in every way. These are the best watches despite being significantly cheaper. Coros Pace 2 has incredible battery life. Depending on how much you exercise (and use GPS) you should be able to go 2-3 weeks between charges. All watches these days are easy to set up (scan a QR code) and the Coros Pace 2 is no different. I think I did it in minutes. GPS accuracy is pretty good, although the distance traveled on the watch is slightly different than my Wahoo ELEMNT (several hundred meters at 60-80 km). In my opinion, the differences are minor and nothing to worry about. The watch tracks gym reps and uses the data to create an exercise heatmap. Rep tracking isn't perfect (it's close), but it's not an issue for me. What I really appreciate is the rest timer between reps so I don't waste time in the gym. The screen isn't as pretty or as bright as the Apple Watch, but it's bright enough for everyday use. If you've used an Apple Watch, you'll notice the difference. The Coros Pace 2's screen is adequate and I suspect this helps the watch last surprisingly long. All in all I have no regrets. The watch is perfect for all my sporting purposes. And after my failure/nightmare with Garmin, I'm glad to have found a sports watch at a great price.

Pros
