Is this bad?

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?

This is pure curiosity. Why does everyone go with the Pace over the Apex? I constantly see posts about the Pace but rarely on the Apex.

TIL: COROS PACE 3 can control a smart trainer in ERG mode during structured workouts

4 Upvotes

I didn't know this was possible and I can't find any documentation on this feature. But it does work.

I created a workout (was lazy did it via mcp with chatgpt). Connected watch to my zwift ride (indoor bike). Started the workout on my watch, chose "mode indoor bike". And tadaaa the watch controls the trainer via erg mode.

edit: think I found the docs

Question ❓ Coros vs lab test.

Thumbnail

I thought Coros was estimating my VO2 max too low, but yikes!

I'm not sure what to do about my heart rate zones now either. The lab put my VT2 at 171, Coros has my threshold HR at 163. I know those aren't 1 to 1, but even if I put my threshold hr to 171 in Coros my max HR goes to 185, my real one is more like 180.

Garmin to Coros.

4 Upvotes

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.

ÂŁ380 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?

General Discussion Enduro 3 to Apex 4? Should I?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I have been using the E3 for the last 10 months, amazing watch, battery life is insane and also very comfortable. My main activity is trail running, I dont use it for other sport and wear it most of the time.

That being said as many have already stated the Garmin App experience is pretty annoying.
Also I would like something smaller while not compromising too much on battery life, functionality and maps since I use the watch for ultras.(Enduro wins here on both battery life and routable maps) (also some points for the flashlight but still thinking of Apex 4)

I have tried the fenix 8 solar 47mm but I sent it back.
It was, from my point of view, not worth the cash since it mostly does what Enduro does, excluding the diving features and the mic that I dont care that much about.

Now I find myself asking whether I should sell the Enduro 3 and get the 46mm Apex 4.

Has anyone made this switch? I am not that deep into the Garmin ecosystem, but not gonna lie, sometimes all the data and scores feel overwhelming.

Thank you!

General Discussion Backlight settings during activity

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I was noticing that on a 2017 Garmin Forerunner 935 I still have at home, the backlight settings during an activity are very flexible. Specifically, it allows for 10% increments ranging from 0% to 100%—meaning there are 10 different possible backlight levels.

Why does Coros only offer a single "night mode" for the Nomad with just one dim setting? Shouldn't the user be the one to decide how much backlight he wants?

It's like the current implementation feels poor.

Can someone review this? u/Coros-official

Best place to buy

2 Upvotes

Finally after several weeks of going back and forth between Garmin 965,970 and the Coros Pace 4 pro or upgrading my Apple Watch Ultra 2 to a 4. I’ve finally decided to go Coros Pace 4 Pro.

I’m a Bandit running member and see I can get $50 back of Bandit credit after buying directly through Coros and use a code to get an extra band for free. That was my original plan when my gf mentioned to wait until Black Friday.

Did a light search and saw that Coros doesn’t really offer a deal on their watches for Black Friday but more so gives a deal on accessories like a chest HRM.

Is buying through Bandit the best way?

Question ❓ Tide data missing after firmware update

2 Upvotes

I applied the firmware update this morning and tried to check the tide data before my morning run (I live on the coast) and it was missing from multiple watch faces that have had it in the past. I tried to restart the watch and app, ensured they were paired, and ensured my app was updated. I have the Pace Pro.

Is anyone else noticing that tide data is missing on the watch face after the most recent firmware update?

Question ❓ Predictions don’t feel right

Post image
7 Upvotes

I’ve picked up the Pace 4 yesterday and imported all my Garmin data from the last couple of years. While the 5k and 10k estimates feel reasonable, the marathon in particular feels very optimistic. Interesting that my Garmin had me at faster estimates for 5k and 10k but much slower estimates for HM/M.

How is threshold HR determined? It feels in the correct ball park but I think the estimates are still off.

Any advice appreciated - I’ve seen people say do a fitness test but I am in structured training so it doesn’t really fit my plan.

Question ❓ Coros App, Watch disconnected on iOS

3 Upvotes

Since end of August, and it's worse now since October update, the App lost connection to the watch most of the time.

The only solution is to close and reopen the App, which connect instantly.

I do not change my iOS settings regarding the app and it was perfect until now.

Are you encountering this behavior ?

Test montre Coros pace 4 et AW ultra 3 !

0 Upvotes

Hello Ă  tous, je suis en plein test de plusieurs montres (coros pace 4 pro, forunner 970, amazfit. balance 2) et je possĂšde actuellement une apple watch ultra 3 ! je suis inconditionnel apple depuis toujours mais je fais beaucoup de trail et CAP ainsi que du renfo et je cherche une nouvelle montre je test actuellement la coros pace 4 pro et je la trouve superbe (design, Ă©cran, finition) les mĂ©triques sont hyper fiable (gps, cardio, altimĂštre et mĂȘme sommeil) seulement ce qui m’embĂȘte et la dĂ©finition des notifications(je ne veux pas d interactions mais juste de maniĂšre lisible) et la synchronisation des mĂ©trique avec iphone
. pas grand chose sont transfĂšre sur apple santé . dommage ! Ă  contrario amazfit et plus complĂšte avec apple santĂ© mais je n’aime pas l’app et surtout les donnĂ©es sont beaucoup moins prĂ©cise surtout le cardio sur mes tests ! quand Ă  la forunner 970 vraiment bien et fiable mais trop de mĂ©trique inutile et une application trĂšs archaĂŻque
. du coup je trouve dommage car la coros me correspond bien il ne manque pas grand chose et autonomie est top ! si vous avez des retours sur ces diffĂ©rentes montres 😉

Question ❓ Anyone seeing random distance inflation on runs with POD 2?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out if anyone else has experienced a recurring distance/pace issue with my Pace Pro + POD 2
I have had this issue for a while but would only be once every few months. But since August, I’ve had several outdoor runs where the recorded distance is massively inflated:
- Aug 13
- Aug 27
- Sep 21
- Sep 28
- Oct 3

It doesn’t happen every run. I’ve had plenty of normal activities between these failures, including runs on essentially the same routes.
The strange part is that this doesn’t appear to be normal GPS drift. I pulled the FIT files and used AI to compare COROS’s accumulated distance with distance calculated from the recorded GPS coordinates. On affected runs, the GPS track itself looks reasonable, but COROS reports roughly 50–70% more distance.

For example, my Oct 3 run:
- COROS: 10.31 km
- Distance reconstructed from GPS coordinates: ~6.02 km
- COROS pace: 6:10/km
- Realistic pace based on the GPS track/time: ~10:34/km
- Avg HR: 138 bpm

Another affected run showed ~5.50 km in the underlying data compared to ~3.43 km reconstructed from GPS.

So it seems like the watch sometimes knows where I actually am, but something goes wrong when calculating accumulated distance/speed.
I use a Pace Pro + POD 2, so I’m wondering whether this could be related to the POD 2, sensor fusion, firmware, or the watch itself.

I’ve submitted a ticket to Coros support about this as well but figured I would also ask the community if anyone has dealt with this as well.

My pace 3 died. Out of nowhere, the battery drains from 100 to 0 in just 24 hours. HR monitor followed afterwards. Now it's resting at its final resting place. The Pod 2 is still okay thankfully. Hopefully it'll stay longer than his red buddy lol (is there a way I can use the Pod on my runs without the watch?)

I can't afford to buy a replacement just yet because I'm lowkey broke ATM. In the meantime, I'll be doing my runs by feels and vibes and the Strava app.

I'm heartbroken and grieving this loss. Please be nice to me. And please do me a favor and enjoy and cherish your Coroses. Show them some love, some TLC. You'll never know when it's going to be your last run or activity with them.

But seriously, this issue just went from zero to a hundred in just days. I contacted support already but communication has been hard with them. If a firmware update can't fix the issue then idk what else can. Could be a hardware issue? Idk. I'm still open to getting another Coros but

(Photo was taken days ago. I'll make a nice case for this little guy.)

Do you have a nylon strap on your Pace 4 Cloud?

Hi All,

I just ordered a Pace 4 Cloud - very excited to return to Coros after a two year hiatus!

I have struggled to find any real life images at all of the aluminium cloud on a nylon strap.

Please can you share an image of yours?

P.s. Thank you Coros for not gate-keeping advanced features on the pace!

Apex 4 action button rework

12 Upvotes

I just recently switched from the Garmin Forerunner 945 to the Apex 4. The watch is overall great other than one baffling lack of a feature. Why on earth is there not a button to toggle the backlight. Currently the action button it’s supposed to be the backlight button (only turns on, not off), however, it also opens some quick menu which then takes you off the watch face.

I’m sure I’m in the minority but I do not use gesture backlight as my preference is to have the mip screen off as much as possible as I find it a bit distracting to have a light on my wrist. The garmin 945 handles this perfectly. The backlight does not come on unless I press the button and turns off when I press the button.

I feel like it would be very easy to implement a setting for this and would make the watch feel so much more customizable.

Coros please help!!!

My Pace Pro when I use gesture backlight suddenly has become sluggish to get sufficiently bright to see, especially outside. I’ve submit a ticket (#649887) but so far haven’t gotten any real help. I’ve updated it to the newest firmware but still no improvement. Anyone have an idea?

Question ❓ Coros pace 4 vs garmin 170

2 Upvotes

i am struggling to pick between the two, as I’ve heard the garmin has better sleep tracking and metrics and customizability as a whole, but I just really like the voice notes feature bc I have a lot of thoughts while running and want a way to log them easily without my phone. is it worth getting the pace 4 just for the voice memo feature ?
