COROSPACE 3 GPS Sport Watch–Lightweight, Comfortable Running Watch, 17-Day Battery Life, Accurate GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Navigation, Sleep Tracking, Training Plan, Run, Bike, and Ski-White Silicone

Bought this for my son who was looking at the Garmin forerunner 55. He wanted the watch for his birthday, but once I started comparing brands, I noticed this one had more features. I asked him if he’d be interested in this make and model and he told me this was actually his first choice for training watches. So guess what we got?! He loves it. It looks great on him, isn’t too large for him, is night and light weight. He loves the stats that he gets from it. The battery life is insanely long. The forerunner did not have a touch screen and I feel like for the money that you spend, it should have a touch screen and this one does. You can’t go wrong. It’ll check off all your boxes too!

After owning this for a year, this watch has seriously impressed me. It is one of the most aesthetic and lightweight running watch in the market. Oftentimes, I forget that it is even on my wrist. Perfect if you're into long runs or hikes and don’t want something weighing you down.I really like the GPS tracking feature, which is really accurate, locks in fast, and doesn’t lag like some other brands I’ve used. Even on trail runs through wooded areas, it keeps the signal strong the whole time. I also love that my workout gets saved to the COROS app, which is really easy to use and is able to connect to Strava so I can share and document my runs!Oh, and it’s also waterproof. I’ve swam laps with it, and that also gets accurately tracked.The app also lets me tweak my data screens for different workouts (running, cycling, etc.), which is great for staying focused during training. The watch screen is highly customizable with different layouts and metrics that are important to you.If you’re into endurance training or just want something that actually works without overcomplicating things, this watch is it. Doesn’t look like a brick, lasts 3 weeks on a charge, and gives you all the metrics you actually care about.

Long story short: I am really really happy with this product. A few things I'd change. --I am running my first ever half marathon this coming April. I have about 5-6 years experience with running but have never done more to track my runs than use my stopwatch on the timer app and Google Maps, both on my phone. Prior to my training for the half, I knew I needed something more reliable, more responsible, and more accurate than just my phone. I did my research and talked to my friends and family who are runners about the type of exercise watch I should buy that is accurate and benefits my training and how to change and help myself. Of course I saw Garmin, Apple, Samsung, and other massively known brands, but I was reading similar negative things about each of them. Their accuracy. That is when I landed on the Coros Pace 3.Everything you need to know about your running is here. Using the watch, choose what workout you are doing, and that is it. The watch does everything for you. Once you have completed the workout, go to the app. Now is when the real magic happens. It shows you your times (Activity Time, Avg. Pace, Avg. Effort Pace, Best Mile, Avg. Heart Rate, Calories, Elev. Gain, Running Performance, Training Load) in the first section. This is the best way to quickly understand your ultimate time and how much you are pushing yourself.This watch will tell you how a run impacts your Aerboic TE (how your body improves physically while training). I will say, some of the verbiage used is a little above my knowledge. So, it may take some time to research each section so that you know what each means and how you can work from it and continue to progress. It tells you your Cadence, Running Power, Stride Length, and more.When you're not running, and want to use it as a typical watch, there are hundreds of watch faces to choose from. It took me about 2 weeks of playing around with different ones to find the one that I loved, which I have now been using for the last 4 months. On the face it tells you time, BPM, calories burned, activity time, steps, elevation, date (mm/dd/year), and battery life.Battery Life: IT IS INSANE!! On 2%, it takes about 40-50 minutes to charge to 100%. On 100%, using it for a workout 4 times/week, the battery lasts for up to 10 days. When not working out during the week, it can last up to 2 weeks. It is crazy. Probably one of the best things I like about the watch.WHAT I WOULD CHANGE:The interface. The notifications I get from my phone pop up on my watch and the text seems like what I would get on my Blackberry in 2010. It gets the job done, but the notification text could use a change.Screen. It is a little dim at times. You can not change the brightness of the watch. When in a dark area, it will go black, but if you're in a dim-light area, it will still be on, but very hard to see. You have to click one of the buttons to unlock it and is then better to see. That's just me.Music. You cannot use Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Soundcloud on your watch. You have to download an MP3 of a song and put it on the file when plugged into your computer. It is a pain, but I figured out how to do it and stick to 3 1-hr playlists each time.That's it.I will say the accuracy of the BPM, Stress Levels, Steps, and Calories Burned is immaculate. I have tested this while using certified machinery to track these levels, and the watch has been 1-2 points around what the test is showing.This has been a lot, but I hope it helps. Overall it is very accurate, benefits me and what I was looking for in a watch. The pros DEFINITELY outweigh the cons.
