1234RunningMan1234 1.0I recently switched from a Coros Pace 2 to a Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Saphire Solar and absolutely love it. Feels much more substantial than the Coros and battery life is awesome. The Coros battery life had severely degraded over the last 6 months.
Accountant_Unlucky 1.0coros pace 2 is a great watch too!
adoseth 1.0Pace 2 gang since 2021 as well. The only other thing I long for is proper GPS since it's only breadcrumb but otherwise has been perfect since day 1.
Aggravating_Hat3955 1.0Coros Pace 2 or Pace 3. Very satisfied with this watch
Appropriate_Tie871 1.0If you do any treadmill running, Coros handles those better. The Pod 2 is quite accurate, and if you chose to enter the treadmill distance at the end of a run Coros recalculates the distance/pace for all your splits. Garmin only modifies the total distance for calibrations made after ending your run.
BensPajamas 1.0I will second the vote for Coros Pace series. Been rocking the Pace 2 for a few years. Durable multi sport watch. Switched from Garmin to this and never looked back. The open water swim options and GPS are also much better than the price-point rivals of the time Garmin had. (Can't speak to Garmin current Gen offerings). Will definitely be upgrading to the pace 3 if/when my 2 dies. The battery life is also phenomenal, and the watch is incredibly light, which makes it more comfortable for sleep tracking.
Classic-Parsnip3905 1.0I use a coros pace 2. It has been a great addition to my swim training.The swim mode is well developed. It records distance correctly, most of the time. The only issue could be that it does not record drills correctly so I do not use it for that. It is very simple to use and has a great app. It is mostly a running watch, but works really well in the gym and has lots of other training modes. I use it to record training distance and pace.I do not structure workouts in the app to follow them on the watch because I swim in a club with a coach. I do not think swim training needs much more, e.g. swolf and stroke rate, are good to know but I do not see the use during training. Outside the pool the watch behaves very good and does almost everything similar watches do with the best battery life in its category. That was one of the buying arguments for me. The down side of this model is that it will no longer receive firmware updates after 4 years. The Pace 3 and Pace pro improve on the pace 2. I bought my father a pace 3 and plan to buy a pace pro before the end of the year.
same coros pace 2 from 2021. A little less battery and coros stopped firmware updates. But it is a great watch. I use it for swimming, indoor cycling and strength training. It is my daily driver , I sleep with it to track sleep and use the vibrating alarm to wake me up and not my wife. When it dies I plan on getting the pace pro.
dls2317 1.0I loved my coros pace 2. It was prettier than my garmin instinct 2, which i just got because I cracked the screen of the coros watch. I thought about replacing with the pace 3, but it was the second time in 4 years that the screen got cracked.
Double-Doughnut8411 1.0I use a coros pace 2. Cheaper price but not a cheap watch and battery is excellent. The app gives a lot of data if that's what you're looking for. I think many watches do too much and get you lost in data.
DTMerc 1.0Anything in particular you do to look after it? I recently replaced my pace 2 after 4 years as the crown had stopped working, worried I possibly didn't rinse it out properly after open water swimming. Was a bit disappointed to replace it as it was otherwise working fine
