Hey all,

I tried the Coros Fitness Test recently for the first time because the temperatures finally dropped. However after the 25 min part the watch told me I failed the test and cannot continue. My guess is that my heart rate was probably not high enough? The test felt fairly easy and I stayed in (low) zone 2 the whole time which I thought was correct at the time, but I found out later that this part should feel pretty challenging. Is that correct? And is this the reason I failed or is there another? My max heart rate is currently set by Coros to 197 and resting heart rate is 57.

Hey everyone,

I just completed a Couch25k program and now I'm searching for a fitting running watch.

As I like to wear a normal analog watch in everday life I'm planning to only really wear it for training and maybe sleep sometimes.

I'd love to have a training plan with my watch, for which I may get a runna subscription (does this make sense for a complete beginner?).

Options I'm currently looking at are Garmin Forerunner 70, 165, 265s, the Coros Pace 4 (really love the design here) and an Apple Watch Series 11 or 3 SE (but I heard battery life really sucks here).

Garming does have a coach integrated, so I wouldn't need runna, but I hear that it does somewhat depend on the data it gathers while wearing it outside of training, which I don't currently plan on doing.

Any recommendations here or other options I may have overlooked?
