Coros Pace Pro

Coros enters the AMOLED race with a feature-packed watch designed for athletes

- 

The Pace Pro is a significant milestone for Coros. The company's first AMOLED wearable introduces some big changes, including offline maps, a faster processor, longer battery life and new sensors.

It's also a big gamble for Coros as the Pace Pro arrives in a contested marketplace. The watch's biggest competitors, such as the Garmin Forerunner 265 and Polar Vantage M3, are well-established in their category, which might make it harder for Coros to find a foothold.

That said, the Pace Pro is a solid offering. Its training and recovery functionality is excellent, and so is its screen. It could be smarter, and maybe cheaper, but it's definitely a contender.

The Coros Pace Pro features a 46mm case made from fibre-reinforced polymer just like Garmin's Forerunner or Polar's Vantage M series. A headline feature is the 1.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, which boasts more vivid colours than its predecessor and a sharp 416 x 416 resolution. This is complemented by a peak brightness of 1,500 nits, slightly under the Apple Watch Series 9's 2,000 nits (but way surpassing the Apple Watch Series 8's 1,000 nits).
