Coros has unveiled its latest watch, the Coros Pace Pro – its high-powered follow-up to the well-received Coros Pace 3, with a 1500-nit AMOLED display and improved processing power.

Like its predecessor, the Coros Pace Pro is shaping up to be another serious contender for the best running watch crown in 2024. Coros was never as popular as his contemporaries such as the best Garmin watchesbut it’s been making consistently excellent watches for years, and the Pace Pro looks to be no different. The processor upgrade means it’s twice as fast as the Pace 3, while the full-colour AMOLED screen means it can display colorful maps, zooming in three times faster than Coros Apex 2 Pro.

Coros watches always have great battery life, and the Coros Pace Pro seems to be no different, boasting 20 days of daily use in smartwatch mode and 31 hours in dual-band GPS mode. When it comes to health monitoring, Coros has designed the rear sensor array with 5 LEDs and 4 photodetectors, capable of monitoring heart health and SpO2 (blood oxygen) with increased accuracy.

Its navigation features extend to more than offline topographic and global maps: street names will also be supported with a software update in 2025, so city runners will feel more confident with Turn-by-Turn directional navigation and Back to Start. Like the existing clocks in the Coros app, you can directly create and edit routes, although they are missing Garminautomatic generation of its circular route.
