So it arrived and I have just set it up.
The HRM appears very glittery gold so I don’t know if I am keen on that.
Not a huge fan of the bands with plastic lug connectors hence me using the old pace strap on the black alu.
Difficult to decide which to keep and daily and which too offload. Unsure if I can daily a gold or would be sick of it in a few weeks.
Thoughts?
So some may remember my previous post of struggling to find what watch was right for me.
I sold the Garmin and was going to keep the balance 2 for the foreseeable. But then the pace 4 black crystal dropped.
I have it on wrist and at first was worried it was too small. I was hoping the release would be a pace pro with more premium finish, but I have realised pace 4 does the job really well for me.
The news about Wahoo integration was also a plus.
I found the balance 2 is so noticeable when I sleep and I sometimes have to move so I am not resting on it. The pace 4 I just forget it is there altogether.
I don’t often use the smartwatch features on the balance 2 so I have noticed no real loss.
Also the new silicone band for pace 4 is so much better than pace pro or any other watch I have tried. I would say even better than apple silicone strap. I will pick up a nylon one to match at some point.
Only thing I think this refresh of pace 4 is missing that would have been great is a sapphire screen.
I will keep this watch for the foreseeable and stop the great watch hunt for now. (Small stipulation that if coros drop a new pace pro or apex with amoled I will get that haha)
