r/Coros

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Also, why did Coros have to remove the daily consumption from the watch itself?

I understand their reasoning for giving a detailed breakdown in the app, but I found it pretty useful to check the actual daily usage percentage without opening the app.

Hi all, I lost my polar h10 and am considering getting the coros HRM, is it accurate despite being an optical sensor? Have you experienced disconnection during the workouts? I understand that this is not the best option for weightlifting or intervals but I really can't stand chest straps. 

I am thinking about getting a Coros for my training and am wondering what the differences are for running. Also would like to know if I should buy now or wait if a new watch is coming out soon.

I’m trying to set up a workout in the Coros Training Hub and I want to combine two metrics in a single block. My goal is to run at a specific target pace, but I also want a strict maximum heart rate limit (so the watch alerts me if my HR gets too high while maintaining that pace).

Right now, in the workout builder, it seems I can only choose one "Intensity" target per block – either Pace OR Heart Rate, but not both simultaneously. Is there any way to set this up directly in the workout?

I'm new to COROS watches (Apex 4), so some of my concerns may already have solutions that I'm unaware of. I created a custom workout in the app and thought it worked really well. I do have a few suggestions that I think could make logging gym workouts better.

• After finishing a set, the rep count should automatically default to the number of reps entered when creating the workout. Most of the time you should hit your target reps, so having to manually adjust the rep count after every set is annoying.
• I find the frequent vibrations during workouts (and some other activities) a bit distracting. I'd still want it for notifications like calls and texts, but it would be great to have more control over it for activities or to control vibration settings through the Control Center.
• I use metric units for distance and speed, but pounds for weights. Add weight unit preference in the units setting.
• I noticed there's an option to skip an exercise and restore defaults to regain that exercise. However, when the gym is busy, I can almost never do my exercises in the right order. When starting a workout, I should be prompted to select an exercise; once all sets are completed, I should be prompted again to pick the next exercise.

The custom workout feature is nice, but it could use some slight improvements.

I play table tennis and squash and want a shit ton of data

I've flirted with Coros in the past -- loved my Pace 3 -- but ultimately chickened out long term just because of the sheer amounts of data had on me. When I was seeing running estimates on Garmin Connect, and comparing them with the different figure on Coros, I just can't help but think Garmin had the more accurate figure and so I ultimately went back to them afterwards.

A bit like when you see an Amazon view that's 4.5 stars but has over 5,000 reviews compared with a 5 star item that had just 10. Ya' know?

But the Coros hardware today is just so much more my cup of tea. A new MIP watch that's 42mm (Apex 4)? Yes please. Garmin's nearest equivalent (Fenix 7s Pro) is 3 years old this month. The only thing that is keepign me away from that buy button is with my history with Garmin.

Even if it's an entirely manual procedure, am I able to export all of my Garmin activities over the years and upload them to Coros? Is that possible?

I was wondering if it's already dead or soon it will be?

Most of new features are not possible to bo modified nor viewed there and it would have been probably more comfortable to see there in some cases.

For example - pace strategy - only possible to create and modify in mobile app. Results of following the pace strategy - only available in mobile app.

Overnight HRV is there, sleep not.

Could probably find more inconsistencies - but at this point, each time I open the web app to look at anything on bigger screen - I need to just forget it and open the mobile app.

Dear Coros, here is a simple fact for you: many of your potential customers have "bad" vision. If i am shopping for a sports watch, I want to see my data fields. Nothing fancy. Most of the time: pulse, distance, pace.

Extra points for ahead/behind, expected finish time, etc. Easily cusomizable themes and show available themes on your website.

Do you want my money? Show me a screen with largest possible fonts. Ideally, show me I can customize the screens.

A good design is a design that uses up all of the screen. Not something with a fancy background.

We are thousands, we are middle-aged, and your fancy small-font design, poorly informative website and no findable themes catalog means I am stuck with Garmin.

Why is there no video, let alone screen-shots, of a POOR VISION FRIENDLY THEME?

Hi all! I’m a previous Apple Watch user who wants to be less connected to their phone (I don’t want notifications for every single thing my phone gets, texts and calls are fine). I’m really debating between a Coros Pace 4 and a Garmin Venu 3s (or 4).

I am a fitness enthusiast who runs, walks, and rollerblades, as well as strength/HIIT training. I love seeing my stats from that and I will integrate to Strava and my Apple health. I also like sleep data.

The only leg up Garmin has for me right now is the fact that the Venu 3s has body temperature measurements that I use for cycle tracking, however, it’s not settling this decision for me as I have other ways to track that if I decide to go with Coros.

Influence/deinfluence me on either of these!

Hi lovely Coros people,

I just got my coros pace 4 for running, coming from aw and tried garming but sent it back because of the very dated ux.

But, I am wondering if my searching skills is terrible or is it possible that there is no way to customise a watch face?
Like there are so many great looking ones, but none the ones i like show enough info, or if it does, it doesn’t show the metric I am interested in. And seemingly there is no way to change it.
I hope that I am just stupid and there is a way, I don’t see any justification for why the watch faces have to be predefined and fixed…

For example I really like Calligraphy, but I have zero interest seeing my daily step count, but I really want to see quickly the current outdoor temperature.

And the customer watch face builder is super limiting, feels like a very early mvp.

Is there maybe an api to build custom watch faces? Or is this on the roadmap? I found some comments that says “in development” but it was around a year ago 😅

Hi,

Are there any plans to add rock climbing modes to the pace 4? I bought this watch thinking it supported rock climbing but I guess I misunderstood.
