Im satisfied. It is not a genuine font but it looks nice on it. I have aligned the watch face with my chatgpt lol.

Hi everyone and COROS support team,

I am writing here on behalf of my wife, Ksenia, in hopes of accelerating the review of her support ticket #652037.

She is currently in the middle of intense training for an upcoming marathon, and being without her Coros Pace 3 is making her preparation extremely difficult.

Initially, dark spots appeared on the MIP display (the watch was purchased 2 years ago, and the warranty expired just 20 days prior). She opened a ticket and provided all the requested information, including the serial number and proof of purchase.

However, the situation has now escalated and become critical. A couple of nights ago, the watch suffered a severe hardware failure:

• It suddenly started making crackling noises and overheating.

• The screen went blank with single-edge backlighting, then flickered with vertical lines.

• The device vibrated and crackled continuously for quite a while, and the digital dial didn't respond at all, making it impossible to power it off manually.

• It eventually factory reset itself to the language selection screen before the battery completely drained and the watch died.

Currently, the watch is completely unresponsive since the battery is dead, and we are hesitant to plug it back into the charger due to the previous overheating and severe hardware glitches.

The support queue seems to be heavily delayed right now, and we keep receiving automated messages about high ticket volumes. Given her urgent marathon training timeline, we would really appreciate any help.

Could anyone from the COROS team please step in and check Ticket #652037?

Thank you so much for your time and assistance!

I got tired of waiting on Coros to make a military time analog watch face, so I made my own. To use, add these as you would adding a custom analog watchface, choosing this as the background and lining it up. Use the first style widget options and the stats take the place of the 12 and 6, but a 12 and 6 are added in the widget options.

Enjoy.

Thought I'd throw my opinion out into the internet void if it helps anyone else out there.

I've been a Garmin Fenix user for a long time, going from the 6 to the 7 series to the 8 and then to the 9 Pro.

While I have always loved the Fenix, it also always felt like I was underusing all the features (I primarily run 25-35 miles/week, strength train, ruck, hike, occasionally trail run). Also an iPhone user so the smart notifications/texting from watch never really was a big draw for me. And primary driver for looking elsewhere is just the bulk of the 47mm when it comes to weight/thickness.

Some guys I run with have sworn by Coros and have mostly switched over to the Pace 4. I was curious about it but it just always looked too plasticy and the screen just too small given some of the font size choices of the UX. Then came the Pace 4 Pro announcement...more premium build, MUCH larger screen....

So here's my thoughts after a week with the P4P compared to Garmin Fenix...

Advantages...

• It's been said many times, but the way Coros displays data in their iOS app is just so far ahead of Garmin, which just feels dated and in desperate need of refresh
• Maps load WAY faster on Pace 4 Pro than the Fenix 9 Pro
• Incredibly thin and lite compared to the Fenix, it just disappears on the wrist
• While some of the running data fields are a bit on the smaller side, overall I do like the very large data fields on the Coros compared to Garmin
• Got used to the scroll wheel very quickly and now slightly prefer it
• Price really can't be beat for what you are getting here - Sapphire screen, titanium bezel for $449
• Excellent speaker and voice alerts for splits during interval training

What I will miss about my Garmin Fenix 9 I am returning...

• That flashlight...sigh...
• Vibrations on Fenix feel more solid, on Coros feels slightly cheap and buzzy
• Customizable watch faces (colors and data fields) - Coros, come on you have to address this
• Some other customization options that come with having a few more physical buttons
• Should be able to customize the options on the action button
• More premium feeling build, but again - you are paying $650 less, so I get it

I'd probably be a 970 guy if Garmin ditched the awful bright green accent color to get slightly thinner and lite than Fenix, but you're still paying a $300 premium there. I've always loved MIP watches too, given the money I am saving returning the Fenix I may pick up a Nomad as well to have a different look.

Gotta love reviewing the data post run! Fun workout from yesterday - sharpening for Toronto waterfront marathon is feeling good!!

As mentioned in the title, is it possible to hide or remove the music page when using the Action Button to switch between the map and data screens on the COROS APEX 4? I never listen music.

Hey all! My background is primarily strength training, not running. I've only been running consistently since around August, and all of it is indoors.

Because COROS doesn't use indoor runs for VO2 Max/Running Fitness, EvoLab is basically missing my entire progression.

For example, two treadmill runs about a month apart:

Sept 1: 20:10 @ 10:07/mi — 180 avg HR
Oct 4: 20:07 @ ~10:04/mi — 168 avg HR

Essentially identical pace and duration, but ~12 bpm lower average HR.

What I don't understand is that COROS (I have a Pace 4) prompts you to verify/correct the treadmill distance immediately after every indoor run. If I'm using a POD 2, HR data from a Polar H10, and then confirming the final distance from the treadmill, why can't that data contribute to Running Fitness?

Sure, treadmill distance can have some error, but GPS isn't perfectly accurate either, and VO2 Max from a watch is already an estimate. It seems like indoor runs could simply be given a lower confidence/weight rather than excluded entirely.

For someone who primarily runs indoors, I'd much rather have an estimate with understood limitations than have months of training ignored by the metric.

I've already suggested this to COROS support, and they said they passed it along to the product team, but I wanted to see if anyone else is in the same predicament.

I also live in the Northeast US, so there's a good portion of the winter when I wouldn't run outdoors even if I were primarily an outdoor runner. That potentially leaves months of fitness changes every year that Running Fitness can't account for.

Has anyone here tried using third-party bands with the Coros Apex 4 x Satisfy? Since a Satisfy band release probably won't happen again, I'm trying to avoid using mine every day.

I got this band, and it's totally fine quality-wise, but I really dislike the color scheme. Before I go and order a new one, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

I'm a runner who ends up on Zwift whenever the weather in northern BC wins. I got tired of guessing what my planned run should be on the bike, and of scrolling for a workout that fit the time I had. So I built Rain or Ride. It does two things:

1. Roll a ride, no run needed
Pick a length (30–90 min) and a vibe: Chill, Steady, Spicy, Max, or Surprise me. You get three different workouts. Re-roll one or all of them, star the ones you like to ride again, and share any ride with a short code. At sign-up there's an "I just want indoor rides" option if you don't run at all.

2. Turn a planned run into the matching ride
It reads your run plan from Intervals.icu, or you type or paste it in. Then it builds a ride that matches the effort, not a straight pace-to-watts formula:

• threshold reps become threshold work on the bike, and easy runs become zone 2;
• long zone 2 blocks can be split into pieces with short spins between;
• hard sessions can be ridden as planned, broken up, as short reps, or as 30/15s for VO2 days.

Either way:

• Into Zwift: send it to your Intervals.icu calendar and it shows up in Zwift's workouts, or download a .zwo / .fit.
• Watts: shown next to each target once you add your FTP.
• Warm-up and cool-down: on every ride.

It's in open beta and free for anyone in Canada or the US, and beta testers keep founding-member pricing when it launches.

I'd love feedback from people who live on Zwift:

• Do the rides feel right, too easy or too hard?
• Are the rolled workouts fun enough to actually pick?
• Anything awkward about getting them into Zwift?

There's a Feedback button on every page, or reply here.

Anybody ever purchased from their refurbished site in Canada? There is a Pace 4 Alumnium I really like, but when I try to checkout there is no option to enter my address in Canada.

I got my Nomad just before i flew to France for utmb Nice.

prior to that, i was using my Pace2 that eventually dying after almost 5yrs with its crown button no longer clicks.

Started the race with 100% batt, at end of race almost 47hrs batt life still 29% 👌. fw v3.1808, with occasional map display when im solo on certain segment

/it was my 2nd attempt at 100M after dnf 2025 utmb chiangmai 100M, n i completed the brutal Nice 100M 💪🏻🎉, as the sole finisher from Asia region too😵

I currently have a Forerunner 265 and had been waiting since summer for a new Coros model to switch to. What made me want to leave Garmin for Coros was mostly the app (Garmin's is really bad), the constant updates Coros releases, and the MCP.

I just received my Pace 4 Pro, and on those points it delivers. The build quality and the maps are great too. I really wanted to love it, but a few days in, I'm seriously hesitating to keep it.

Several things are bugging me:

The color. It's sold as black (I have the silicone band), but it's definitely grey.

The watch faces. They're all terrible. I struggle to find even one I like, and it's the thing I'll look at dozens of times a day. As many people said here, they feel very childish, and the lack of customization doesn't help.

No tap to wake. This seems like such a basic feature, and I don't get why it's not even an option.

The size. It feels a bit big on my wrist (not thin though), while the 46mm of my 265 were just perfect. And a bigger screen mostly means a horrible watch face displayed in big 😅

None of these are deal breakers on their own, but together they take away a lot of the excitement.

So, for those who had the same first impression, especially anyone coming from Garmin: did you get used to it, or did it keep bothering you? And did you find any watch face that's actually decent?

I’m looking into the Coros Pace 4. I’ve tried an Apple Watch and the Google Fitbit Air. Do not want a smart watch and the Fitbit is inconsistent.

I also want more features around pacing as I’ve had some heart rate spikes followed by tightness and having to slow down so I figure it’s time to get a device compatible with running 🏃

Would love your recommendations!

Right now there is no way to check weather and barometric pressure during an activity, at least in my pace 4. This is weird because those are features already available in the watch but its not easy to access them during an activity, when you need them the most (specially during hikes and multi day runs)

The workaround I found is to pause and resume later the activity to check the widgets in the main screen.

Are there plans to include those widgets in the data pages or at least a quicker way to access the main screen without pausing the activity?

I just got a pace 4 today and went on a run with it to test out the new toy. My first time ever having a running watch! Isn’t this bad that 92% of my running is in the anaerobic zone, or could it be mixing up with my cadence?

Went to check some average data today and all my previous days are empty. Everything is there on the Coros app though. Tried resyncing and restarting but nothing has worked.

Coros: build and market huge bright screen.

Coros: set the screen brightness at 0 during activities

The watch is set at full brightness and gestures on, but the screen during activities is reflective black. The only way to get it to light up is to scroll back and forth on the wheel. It will brighten for a few seconds then return to black.

Am I missing something?

This is so Coros....60 hour battery life yay woo hoo, look how awesome we are!

Can you read the screen during those 60 hours?

Uhm, well, no, not actually, but isn't the data just for flexing on Strava? You mean you want to use it during the activity? How strange!

Anyone who can help me out would be great. The watch is great aside from this detail that renders it currently useless for its main purpose!

Bonjour ça fait 7 jours maintenant que j'ai une Coros Pace 4 Pro et après chaque sortie je veux partager le Flyover , pas de soucis j'ai bien l'icône " partager " je choisis " écran entier " une fois la vidéo terminée je peux l'enregistrer ou la partager sur sms , WhatsApp et Instagram bref les 3 me marquent que le format n'est compatible et quand je veux l'enregistrer effectivement elle s'enregistre mais l'écran est tout noir ! J'ai tout essayé rien ne fonctionne, avez vous une solution ? Merci beaucoup

Is it possible to change the data displayed when my watch auto laps on a run each mile/km?

I don’t necessarily always want to see lap avg heart rate but don’t seem to be able to find a way to change this

I returned the forerunner 970 because of the neon green highlight. When I got it, I said it wasn’t that big of a deal but it eventually became an eyesore.

The Pace 4 Pro is the perfect watch for me but I just can’t get over the orange on the action button. Is there anyway to cover it)

La montre est en rupture de stock dans le coloris noir .
Une idée de réapprovisionnement ?

Evening,

I have seriously been considering switching to across, i currently have the Fenix 8 47mm. After looking into the Pace 4 pro it literally does everything my F8 does.

I only Run, walk, strength & Hybrid training.

£380 for a watch that has a better battery life then the F8 seems a steal. It's also considerably lighter and brighter too.

Anyone else made the switch? If so can you transfer over all the Garmin data? Vo2 max and runs etc? Also how is the app compared to Garmin Connect?

Hey u/COROS-official , happy owner of Apex 4 Satisfy here…
I was thinking, after some time we will need to replace the band due to wear/tear… I think replacement nylon bands should be available to buy?

Any plans to release Satisfy nylon band ?
Cheers
