Why buy each?

COROS Pace

AMOLED display at 32g and $249

First COROS Pace with AMOLED — a vivid 1.2" touchscreen in a 32g nylon-band body, making it the lightest AMOLED GPS running watch at this price.

41 hours GPS, 19-day battery

16 more GPS hours than the Pace 3, with 19 days typical use. Best-in-class battery life for a sub-$250 AMOLED GPS running watch.

Multi-band GPS and voice features

Dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS for precise tracking in cities and trails, plus built-in voice pin recording and audio lap alerts — new for the Pace line.

COROS Vertix

140 hours of continuous GPS

No other GPS watch currently on the market delivers 140 hours of GPS tracking — enough for most ultra-endurance events and multi-day mountain traverses.

5-satellite dual-frequency system

GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BeiDou + QZSS with dual-frequency reduces error in challenging terrain to near-meter precision.

Sapphire glass and titanium case

Military-grade scratch and impact resistance for the harshest environments: extreme altitude, cold, and sustained physical stress.
