Review on ⌚️ Coros PACE 2 Premium GPS Sport Watch with Heart Rate Monitor, Long Battery Life, Barometer, and Multiple Connectivity Options by Ronald Bleimeyer

I think it's a great watch overall but with some major flaws (for me). Pros: - Mileage is a great feature. - Unlike Garmin watches, swim workouts are synced to Training Peaks watches. - The watch records heart rate information during swimming training. While this isn't exactly reliable training information, having an HRM strap designed for swimming is better than buying one. It seems as accurate as my Garmin watch for distance, GPS, steps, etc. The vibration is almost silent for an alarm clock. One of my Garmin watches has a horribly loud vibrating noise that would even wake my wife up. Unfortunately, there are some oddities with this watch that annoyed me too much: Nothing syncs automatically. It drove me crazy You need to open the app and sync manually to do any of the following: a) sync training plan from TrainingPeaks to app (separate sync button from main sync function), b) sync training plan from app to watch, c) sync completed workouts from watch into the app, d) change the training data fields - your workout ends automatically after you have completed your last lap. If you're doing a structured workout and you're still a half-mile from home at the end of the last interval, the workout will stop and not include the last half-mile. - Can't use the treadmill for structured workouts? Maybe you can change that, but I didn't find an option to do that. When doing a run on your training plan, there doesn't seem to be an option to use the indoor/treadmill option. When you select an exercise from the training plan, the running activity mode is automatically selected. If you switch directly to the outdoor running option during a scheduled workout, you will be asked if you want to start the scheduled workout. It doesn't ask you the same question when you switch to indoor/treadmill mode. - Can't cancel/cancel your training? Maybe it exists, but I couldn't find an option for it. When you start a workout, there doesn't seem to be an undo/cancel option. So maybe you start running on a treadmill but realize you've inadvertently engaged in some type of outdoor activity. In this case, you must save a 2-minute outdoor run to switch to a treadmill activity type. - No built-in integration with Cronometer. I had to set up three weird ways of syncing between Coros, Strava and Cronometer to keep my activities in sync. The calorie estimates were off the charts. Usually double the rating I would get from Garmin. I ran on the treadmill at a zone 1 pace for 3-4 minutes just to test my strength and the watch showed I had burned 60 calories. No way.
