COROS PACE Pro review: AMOLED is just the start

The COROS PACE Pro is the brand's first AMOLED watch, but it's the accuracy, speed, training tools, and battery that make it a standout running watch.

The core PACE Pro experience is lightweight and reasonably thin, uses only a fraction of its battery after an hour-long dual-frequency GPS run, and has a quick-release strap switch so you can buy and swap in any third-party option you prefer — though COROS' silicone and nylon replacements are very affordable at $29 apiece. Aesthetics aside, my main problem is with the lack of complications: you can't customize the data you see on the watch faces; only tap the back button on the home screen to swap between a few pre-chosen metrics like heart rate, sunrise/sunset, and elevation.

They're all mid-range, multisport smartwatches with AMOLED displays, training load and recovery guidance, dual-band GPS, and at least a week of battery life per charge.
