Anyone else tempted by the Pace 3?

I ran with a Garmin all last year but for 5 years prior and all this year I’ve been running with my Apple Watches. I currently own a Series 9. It gets the job done.

I also own a Stryd footpod for accurate treadmill distance and a premium Stryd subscription with an adaptive running plan. I’m 70% through a HM plan. So far so good.

Daily charging, albeit sometimes 2x a day, doesn’t bother me all that much. But I’ve been tempted to just switch to a dedicated running watch, and the Coros Pace 3 has my full attention.

I am tempted by the route design features, screen mirroring options, built in training plans, better running analysis (maybe this isn’t true vs Stryd??) and of course long battery life.

Is anyone else tempted? Talk me out of it lol!

For a running watch it does everything most runners will ever need - go for it.

Coros does a lot of nice things - just have a tough time jumping on Garmin/COROS without Apple Music and 4G options build in like my Ultra.

I am finishing a marathon build with the race this Sunday and during the many long runs every week, they 4G + Music features are just second to none. I don't even sync music playlists any more and just choose on the day, what I want to listen to.

Still feel like both COROS and Garmin would need me to have a phone with me

I decided to keep my AW. I don’t think I’d get much more out of it than what my S9 gives me (along with my Stryd footpod and training plan).

I checked Coros’ privacy policy and it scared me away lol.

what about their privacy policy is an issue?

so I just ordered a Pace 3 because the coros lineup is now HSA/FSA approved so yay no money out of my pocket.

I will be looking to get rid of my apple watch SE 2 full time if the coros pace 3 lives up to my expectations. I am not a runner, but I do hike and cycle indoors and other various exercise activities as well as golf.

I have disabled most of the notifications on my AW anyways. I am on a fitness journey to lose weight, and I wanted something more data driven so this may be what I was looking for.

Good luck on your journey!
