I've never really owned a watch to track my fitness and health stats. I'd been eyeing this one for a while, but the latest update with maps finally sold me on it. I've only had it on my wrist for a few hours, and I can't wait to put it through its paces! (Pace 4 Black Crystal)

I don't speak French so have had to rely on Google's translation here. I suspect they referred to the new Suguru edition as they said possibly earlier but it could be the Vertix 4 that will be announced on Monday.

Hi

I am used to my Apex 4 so the screen behaviour of the new Pace 4 Pro is a struggle! The screen only stays on for 8 seconds, dims for two seconds then goes to a simple display.

I think I am doing something wrong but I can’t find what? Video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/ivtKH2_q-6I?is=TNv_24qfDBcyWIvH

Settings:

1) Always On is On in More Settings / Display
2 a) Gesture Backlight - if Daily Mode is Off once it goes to the simple display I need to touch the crown to get the screen to come back to full (this is expected)

2 b) Gesture Backlight - if Daily Mode is On once it goes to the simple display I flip my wrist to get it to light

It feels the dimming timeout is very short and its so short the watchface is showing WAY less detail than my Apex 4 the majority of the time without wrist gymnastics!

I think I am missing some other settings!

Been playing with the COROS MCP for a few weeks and it’s honestly great for building and adjusting training plans. Two things would make it even better:

1. Add swimming. Right now it only supports running, trail running and cycling. A lot of us train for triathlon, or just swim as part of our routine, and it would be great to have pool/open water workouts created and scheduled the same way.

2. Let us move scheduled workouts. I get why deleting workouts isn’t allowed (one bad tool call could wipe out weeks of a plan, so fair enough on the safety side). But being able to reschedule a workout to another day would cover most real-life needs: a busy day, bad weather, feeling tired… Moving is non-destructive, so it seems like a reasonable middle ground.

I think this watch face have enough info on the screen for me on my CP4

Questi nuovi quadranti mi piacciono molto, i vostri pareri?

First of all, I have been really enjoying my APEX 4 for the past month. Definitely a good upgrade after losing my Coros APEX in the lake!

I wanted to share a few UX suggestions and provide some feedback and feature requests as a relatively active user. I also want to ask you guys: What do you like or, on the other hand feel like is missing in the Coros software experience. Most of these are software changes - just things I found unintuitive or missing.

1. Watch Controls & Daily Experience

• Action Button Customization: I love the quick toggle between Metrics and the Map view using the action button. However, please add a toggle to exclude the Media Control screen when cycling views during an activity so the Action button only toggles directly between Data Pages and the Map. I don't use the Media Control and find it annoying to cycle between 3 items. I am sure other people might find the opposite true and would prefer to disable the map view and instead toggle between Data Pages and the media control... Very simple settings menu entry
• Morning Wake-Up Summary: I would appreciate some kind of Morning Report upon alarm dismissal/waking that summarizes overnight Sleep Score, RHR, HRV, today's scheduled workout, and a countdown to the next calendar race/event. Especially the countdown would really be motivating: 45 days to Marathon! Let's GO!
• Number the Data Pages: Add a small number somewhere in the corner of each page to indicate which one it is: page 1, page 2 etc... Its sometimes difficult to realize which page you are on in the activity while performing the activity. For example. I have my First primary page with the basic distance/pace/hr data, then a page with my HR, and another page with my Power. Sometimes my page changes accidentally; I give the watch a glance, and suddenly I see a different number in the place of where usually my HR is, but it's actually power. I just have to think a bit, give it 1 or two glances before I figure out my page switched, and it switches to the Power page. Then I want to switch back, but which page was it? One above or one below? Sometimes get a bit lost in which page I am on. Why not just have them numbered, and then I know, Ah! I was on page 3 because that's what I was focusing on at the moment; let me switch back to it...

1. External Sensors (HR Monitor & POD 2)

• Pre-Activity Sensor Toggle: Add a "Sensors" menu directly on the Activity Start screen to quickly toggle on/off a connected external sensor (e.g., an HR strap left turned on in a backpack) without leaving the start lobby. Sometimes I leave without my HR strap on, yet the Watch connects to it and starts receiving false data... Currently, you have to exit the Start Menu, enter settings, and configure the sensors from there...
• Sensor Disconnect Alerts: Add an option to trigger an audible/vibration alert if the POD 2 or external HR monitor disconnects mid-activity, preventing lost hardware (POD 2 falling off) or unnoticed battery drain.
• Allow the Coros Pod 2 to be used in cycling as a cadence meter! This would make it way more useful as a gadget! I know you have a dedicated cadence sensor, but I think it could be nice to use the hardware to full potential. Also, other activity types could probably benefit from the extra data... Skiing/Skitouring from elevation and temperature data, XCountry for pace/cadence, Left/Right Balance and glide time.. Since it's waterproof, perhaps there could also be a way to utilize it during swimming. Although I understand that wireless sensors underwater don't work. I am sure even for climbing one could find interesting ways of using it, for example, sometimes I would prefer climbing without my watch. Why not allow me to leave the watch on the gym floor and climb with the pod and an HR strap to collect the data... Much lighter and more comfortable....

1. Workout Builder & Activity Planning

• On-the-Fly Mode Switching: Allow starting a scheduled workout in an equivalent activity mode directly from the watch (e.g., running a scheduled "Road Run" interval session in "Trail Run" mode, or "Bike" in "MTB" mode).
• Expanded Schedulable Modes: Support scheduling all remaining watch sport modes in the Training Calendar. eg. Gym Cardio session, Custom Sport Session etc.
• Allow adding estimated Training load for better planning. - Currently this works well for running; I can see how many running sessions I can schedule to fit my weekly Training Load. But it would be nice to allow this also for other sport activities. For example, I do a weekly Gym Cardio Session which always has a similar Training Load, I now have to mentally keep track of it, why no just factor it in using the calendar.
• On-Watch Block Notes: Allow short text notes on individual workout blocks/exercises. The Strength training animations are amazing, but it would be nice to allow adding some small short descriptions and customization. (e.g., "Use red resistance band for this exercise, 30s per side"), That displays on the watch when the block begins.
• Display machines/ weights before workout: I am rotating 3 different strength workouts with different equipment, and I always forget to prepare some equipment or weights. I noticed the workouts come with "equipment tags" like: barbell, resistance band, bodyweight etc.. Would be very useful to have an equipment overview list when starting the activity, maybe in the Details menu: "Prepare 15kg and 20kg weights, resistance bands, barbells...."
• Dynamic Weight Memory in Strength Mode: When increasing the weight for an exercise on the watch after Set 1, automatically carry that updated weight forward to subsequent sets of the same exercise.
• Swim Workout Duration Estimates: Calculate estimated duration for distance-based swim workouts using personal threshold/average swim pace rather than only counting rest intervals. Currently, a swim with 3000m swim is estimated as 0min and has not TL estimate either.

1. Third-Party Data Sync

• Customizable Strava Data Export: Provide an option to include internal watch temperature (and other recorded sensor streams) in Strava activity exports, even when not using the POD 2. Why hide the data if its there....
• Allow a fine-grained data export. Allow me, for example, to not export the HR data to Strava. But allow it for Komoot.

This is not an exhaustive list! I might make another post in the future with a few more items. I love how Coros keeps adding new features and improving the experience; I just hope that one of the employees sees it and some of them can be implemented! Thank you for constantly improving the platform!

Let me know if you have solutions for any of my "issues" or if you have other feedback/suggestions that Coros should consider.

Hi everyone! I have a White COROS Pace 4 and I'm looking to replace the original silicone band. I'm open to bands from the COROS Apex, Pace 4, Pace 3 or Pace Pro models.

Has anyone tried using these bands on the Pace 4? Which would you recommend in terms of fit, comfort and appearance, especially with the white watch?

Thanks in advance!

I can’t wait to receive and do the unboxing of this one.

I posted a bug report several weeks ago and stopped receiving replies.

If you set a speed before an indoor run, it starts at that speed and tries to adapt when the treadmill changes but if you pause the watch and resume it goes back to the first speed and puts the entire workout at that pace even if you change pace drastically.

I started my run on a 10km/h, sped up to 12km/h and it adjusted (but not to the correct pace), but then my shoe came untied, so I paused the watch and treadmill, and when I restarted, the watch stayed fixed on 10km/h and set the entire workout at that flat pace.

Hi COROS! 👋

New COROS owner here! I noticed that accessing Workouts requires using the dial, while opening the Toolbox requires long-pressing the back button.

I'd like to suggest allowing us to navigate more of the watch's UI through the touchscreen, such as:

• Accessing Toolbox through touch gestures (e.g. swipe right)
• Accessing Workouts through touch gestures (e.g. swipe) or included in Toolbox

It would be nice if we didn't always have to rely on the physical buttons for navigation. After all, having a touchscreen but still needing physical buttons for certain functions feels a bit limiting.

Having more touchscreen navigation options would make the watch more convenient to use, reduce physical button wear over time, and provide an alternative if a button ever becomes unresponsive. It would also be nice to have the flexibility to choose between touchscreen and button navigation based on personal preference. 🙂

It would be great to have this as an optional feature, especially for those who want to minimize wear on the physical buttons and keep them in good condition for longer. 🙂

Thanks, COROS!

On Sunday at 00:01 I will run a 12 hour race on a 1 km loop in the forrest… excited to see have the P4P will act up🤩

Does anyone know how to use race strategy in Coros with the NYC Marathon as a route? I used race strategy for a half marathon and I really liked it. But using the route feature I only see routes that I have previously run as options. It would be great to have the NYC Marathon as a route to develop an exact strategy that takes the elevation etc. into account.

How does everyone else’s heart rate monitor accuracy seem with the Pace 3? I don’t use this watch for much, but was hoping it’d track my heartbeat properly on hikes. I did a hike and it said my heartbeat never got above 100 which didn’t seem right. Then the next day I was climbing a mountain and it showed my heartbeat at 60 BPM. I think my intervals are set up to read every 15 minutes but that still wouldn’t track. I saw it change to 60 something and then I went into broadcast HR and it was around 160 right after it had just changed to 60ish…

Posting this if it’s any help to anyone on the fence about the size of the watch. Coming from Coros pace pro, I was worried about the size of the watch given my slender wrists. I measure 165mm on a hot day, so I was a bit nervous about the upgrade. After arriving I am definitely glad I went with the pace 4 pro. Compared to something like a pace 4/pro, it definitely offers an advantage in the real world in use of maps and brightness. While I’ve never thought the pace pro to be overly dim, it is really hard for me to go back to that display once I’ve used this in bright sunlight. Overall build quality is also significantly better and loving the new nylon strap! The scroll wheel feels more elegant and buttons much more substantial.

A beginner runner, started running diligently for the past 4 months, approx 2-3times per week for a 5/10k per session. Currently, using apple watch which I borrowed from my wife, my “running app” is Strava as I am a premium member, I love the gamification aspect of it and the strava face in the apple watch is OK I guess.

I am contemplating to have a real sports (running) watch, as I feel Apple Watch lacks certain charm that a running watch provides (ran alongside a friend with his garmin and the watch acts much more than just showing metrics, ie: beepers for I am assuming pace alert?)

In my country the obvious (and easily available choice) are Garmin and Coros, and my eye is on Coros Pace 4 as I like the size more than the pro, and have no need on any advantages pro gives anyway.

My question is will it be a significantly different experience, having a Coros while running vs an Apple Watch ?
Does Coros actually track your run better ? Act as a virtual pacer ?
Does having a Coros and still using Strava (is it even possible in a Coros) a valid idea ? Or Strava is too streamlined and built in face from Coros is the way to go?

I have watched countless reviews on youtube but got tired as there are just too many advertisement and biased reviews pushing you on certain direction.

I’m reading conflicting reports about this treadmill sensor being compatible with Coros watches. Can anybody confirm or deny through first-hand experience?

I’ve recently (over the last month and a half, maybe) been experiencing some inaccurate heart rate readings from the band. Sometimes it shows 175 BPM when I’m clearly not pushing that hard, while my actual heart rate seems to be somewhere around 153- 160 bpm.

I’ve reset the band (the “plug and unplug it 5 times” trick), although I’m not convinced it’ll actually fix the issue. And yes, I do wash both the band and the watch from time to time!

Since the June update, even the watch itself (COROS Pace 3) doesn’t seem as stable or efficient as it used to be. Battery life and notifications have also become unreliable and don’t always work as expected.
I’m seriously considering selling it or sending it back under warranty, as the last few months have been pretty disappointing.

Anyone else experiencing the same issues?

Hi all! I am training for an Ironman 70.3 and would really like to go with a Coros watch. My biggest concern with triathlon training is bike computer/stationary bike program integration. The Dura would be great but it doesn’t seem like it is being sold anywhere right now. Would love advice on what bike computers and trainers people use with their Coros watches as well as the ease of use between the two and ease of use while racing. Thanks!

Hi, I've already contacted support without help 3 times. ID: 904812 good morning, I contact you again to request technical support, and possible warranty management for my coros pace 3, id: 904812 A few days ago the device began to experience serious hardware/software malfunctions. The clock opens settings, starts tasks, etc. autonomously. I would obviously like to point out that the touch screen has always been disabled. Trying to restart it didn't work. Also since this problem happened it even seems that the keys no longer listen and that they don't seem to work. I kindly ask for guidance on checks to make a warranty repair or replacement. I also have video demonstration, please don't hesitate to ask. Firmware is 3.2008.0 Thank you and goodbye [KV1MN9-PR7XM]

I think my paces are a little slow, or maybe my heart rate is too high. I'm 33 male, I think my max HR is 185-190. I did a fitness test about a month ago, do I need to do another for it to update or does the watch recalibrate zones automatically or do I need to edit something manually?

It's mostly praise from the RunTesters for the Pace 4 Pro, if anything a bit against HR tracking (but their testing involves wearing several devices so probably not the best wrist position for a given watch), and Coros' lack of smartwatch features (and my take is we prefer it that way). They all praise the screen, but bear in mind, these guys are used to much larger and bulkier watches.

Coming from regular watches, I think it's too damn big for a daily watch (one of them mentions this: great for sports, not so much for daily life), it overhangs in all of them because lug to lug is 52.5 mm, this could be solved adopting a recessed design for the straps, like the Ikepod watches, in which the straps attach below the bezel, inside the watch's case.

Definitely I will be waiting for a smaller Pace 5 with this new LTPO AMOLED (or, hopefully, even a return to MIP displays).

On a final note, something I've said several times: using premium materials on disposable devices is absurd.

My pace 3 is now depleting the battery every two days since the updates this summer (and yes I’ve followed their recommendations for battery depletion).

I sent in a support ticket last week and expected to have a long wait based on what I’ve read here have been other people’s experiences.

I received an AI generated email with follow-up questions the next day and I responded. Today, I received another email saying they are still waiting on my response to the original email…

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I just getting email runarounds?

I sent another response so now I’m just waiting.

The email address is a bunch of nonsense characters that end with @coroshelp.zendesk.com. Is this why they aren’t receiving my responses? Or is this the correct email address I’m supposed to respond to?
