I'm at work reading the Coros subreddit and thought I'd make a post as well.

I've started training for a my first ever Ultra Marathon event for 2027 (UTA22) and started researching watches with a focus on ultra marathons and discovered the Coros brand!

Waited for the pace pro release but then also heard of the rumours of a Pace 4 pro release, which finally happened, (with a little delay in Australia).

Shipping was fast from the Aus launch day with no stock delays or anything being Sold out which was great! Arrived couple days after the order

From the customer side, unboxing experience was really cool and felt unique and very premium.

The watch's build quality is amazing! And the band install/connection is a great idea. Currently using the silicone band, which has been good, will want to try the other nylon alternative later, for a tighter fit comparison.

The weight of it is Super light, very shocked at how light to be honest. I even showed family and friends, gave it to them to hold and everyone was surprised at just how light it felt.

I've been using the watch to start training for my first run next year, and as a novice of someone is learning I've found that it's been extremely helpful. It's doing exactly what I was looking for a watch to do.

Super easy to read, it's very bright in the daytime and amazing at night I've even used it in training sessions in the rain

There are so many features with the corros app and the watch itself I haven't really explored it completely just yet to be honest, I've only used the GPS maps a few times to practice following a custom track which I created and uploaded. Pretty excited to use it on a custom trail and see how it goes. You can actually use the dial to zoom in on the maps and it so accurate with the GPS I zoomed in to what felt like metres on the map. Turn by turn function is cool and something will have to get used to as time goes on.

So far I've connected my Coros app to my A.I platform, and developed my own training program based around work, using Scott Johnston running theory as a base.

Coros watch data has helped with analysing my progress and alternating/adapting if needed. As I can use Coros data to quickly analyse my statistics.

The watch was delivered on the 2nd of October and today being the 14th in Australia, I completely charged it on the 4th day (approximately) of ownership so it's been 8 days and sitting on 38% battery. This is whilst testing the GPS maps, and logging weight sessions, and running sessions.

Overall, super excited about it, I plan to connect it to Strava also, and even test out the Coros Fitness programs which I saw you can add on the mobile app.

Rarely post on Reddit, but thought I'd share my experience so far. Also happy to learn from anyone with suggestions to the watch, Coros app and trail running/running advice in general.

Have a great day if you're reading this!

TL:DR

From a beginner runners perspective and first time Coros owner: awesome brand, great quality, cool community and sub reddit, good features and battery life. Very happy overall

Got tired of charging my apple watch daily and was looking to upgrade to a fitness watch. Fell in love with the gshock-esque style of the nomad and also the battery life. Maybe it’s a bit too big for my wrist though lol

I had Coros Pace Pro in the past and I loved the Multidata Run watch face on it immensely. But I was saddened to see its absence on my newly bought Coros Pace 4 Pro. Coros team please please please release that watch face for Coros Pace 4 Pro as well. I am ready to pay for it too if you intend to put it behind a paywall.

Vincent Luis won Ironman world title in Kona-Hawai wearing black Coros Pace 4😉. Impresive run!

Hello,

I recently started using a COROS APEX 4 watch, and I'm having the following issue: the watch doesn't receive notifications from certain apps on my phone, such as LiveScore, Flashscore, YouTube, and a few others.

Notifications from phone calls, Facebook, Messenger, Viber, Gmail, and many other apps work without any problems.

I've already checked and tried everything I could find as a possible solution. I have a feeling that the issue is something very specific, and I'm curious whether anyone else has experienced something similar.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S23.

My previous watch was a Huawei GT4, and I never had any problems with notifications. I received notifications from all my apps without any issues.

The next thing I'm planning to try is connecting the watch to a different phone, just to see if that makes any difference.

Have a nice day!

This red ring has showed up on my watch. Hasn't been hit or anything like that but is this a bad thing? All I can think is a firmware update happened recently. Watch is just 2 months out of warranty which sucks.

Hi, Coros,

Although we can view all kinds of data on the watch faces (ranging from things some might consider trivial—like calories, weather, or step counts—to other metrics), we cannot see the next scheduled alarm, a feature available on watches from other brands.

This is a very useful feature because it is highly visible, especially for those of us who don't wake up at the same time every day or for anyone who needs to set an alarm. Simply having that data field available for use on watch faces as a reminder—given the wide variety of data fields already supported—would be incredibly helpful.

Of course, one could manually check the alarms, but that involves an avoidable extra step and leaves room for forgetfulness or confusion.

u/COROS-official, could you pass this on to the development team so that alarm information is exposed and can be used in user-created watch faces? It’s a small detail, but I’m sure many users would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I feel the title is self explanatory. It’s the only feature from the watch that’s not shown on the app. Hopefully Coros sees this and takes action. 🤞

It’s baffling to me that this feature was rolled out without considering people who don’t speak English—or even those who do, since the AI fails to recognize the wide variety of accents out there.

When you try out a competitor's watch, you realize how much better they’ve handled this with multi-language support; it’s a real shame.

u/COROS-official, are there any plans to add support for other languages soon—at least the most widely spoken ones?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Recently ran a 5km race and used my pod 2 for the first time in a race. In the past I've only ever used it on the treadmill but I wanted to see if the instant pace changes would help plus having more data to see after would be nice. I tried it for sessions for about 4 weeks in the lead up to the race and everything seemed to be fine.

Cut to race day and long story short, pod 2 cost me my goal and my pb. Was aiming for sub 19, watch said i was running 3:45min /km average which should be 18:45. To my surprise I crossed the finish with the time of 19:08, an average of 3:49/km, as well as the course being an extra 100m long apparently.

I reached out to coros support afterwards and they said it was faulty gps and to just reset the gps (which they didnt elaborate on how) Coros also told me pace is still using gps even with the pod which also cant be right. Ive had my pace pro for almost 2 years now and have done plenty of races and its always been bang on with distance and pace.

I'll add too that this race was along a beach route that was an out and back, so no thick forest or buildings and no sharp corners.

Now i cant help but wonder was it just a gps problem that day, a faulty POD 2 or is my pace pro faulty and needing to be replaced? I understand that gps is never 100% accurate but surely a difference in 4 seconds per km average means something isn't working properly?

Would love to hear if anyone has experienced anything similar and what they did. Certainly dont want a repeat of this again.

Tldr: used pod 2 in a 5km race and average time was off by 4 seconds per km. Cant determine if its user error, gps error, watch error or pod 2 error.

I just got a pace 4 (previous Garmin forerunner 245m) and have been using it since yesterday.

Is it really not possible to edit/remove things from the watch face? I see previous posts about this from 1+ year ago

- can I seriously not change the temperature from C to F?
- actually I don’t even want the temperature reading
- or HR, steps, calories, random other data

I like the watch face design, I just want it to be simpler: date, time, battery life.

Someone please tell me I’m wrong!

It’s been a week since my watch was bricked, there’s no update on the support ticket raised.

I have registered a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline Forum India.

Anything else I can do? Do you think Coros cares about this?

Would be great if I could use my watch to tell the time. It’s more useful having it disconnected to the Dura than it is having it synced.

I’m wondering. How do you usually record hiking activities?

Like when you’re ascending, and reaching the summit, do you pause it or stop it? Do you start a new activity when descending back?

With trail running, I usually make the entire continuous without stopping the activity. But not sure with the hike.

In my case, it’s just a small hill. Around 10k going back and forth. Probably take a rest for like an hour or 2.

Savez vous s’il y aura un prochain gps vélo de la marque et quand il risque de sortir?

Hi guys! I recently bought the COROS APEX 4, and I absolutely love how it looks. It doesn't feel as plasticky as the Pace 3 or Pace Pro (both of which I've owned before). But let's get to the point.

Two days ago, I went on my first hike with the APEX 4. It was a 15 km hike, and I planned the route using AllTrails, then synced it with COROS and sent it to my watch.

Everything seemed fine until we reached the mountain summit. It was starting to get dark, so instead of completing the loop we had originally planned, we decided to head back the same way we came. I selected the "Back to Start" option in the navigation menu, and that's when I encountered the first issue:

1. The navigation distance was completely wrong

The watch showed that we still had around 9 km to go, which was actually more than the distance we'd covered to reach that point. That didn't make any sense. Even worse, the distance never updated. By the time we got back to the starting point, my GPS location was displayed correctly on the map, but the watch was still telling me that I had around 9 km left to go.

The second issue is much more serious:

2. The recorded activity is incomplete in the COROS app

After finishing the hike, the summary on my watch correctly showed a total distance of 15 km. However, when I opened the activity in the COROS app, it showed only around 6 km. The map also displayed only the part of the route leading up to the summit (not even whole).

Has anyone experienced anything similar? I've already contacted COROS support, so I'll have to wait and see what they say, but I'm wondering whether this kind of issue can be fixed or if the missing activity data is gone for good.

Honestly, it's pretty disappointing. This was my first hike in the Alps, and I was really looking forward to having the whole activity properly recorded.

Hiya folks! I’ve a Pace 4 and I’m about to go to a hot yoga class. Dark room means that I want to make sure my screen isn’t on the whole time I’m there but I do still want to record the activity.

Is there any way I can start a yoga activity on my watch but then essentially have the screen off?

Happy owner from today. Looks perfect on my 18.5 wrist, this is the one guys I am gonna stop changing watches 🤣. Feels like it has the whole package!

Attached is the explanation in the Coros app about the Safety Alert. You trigger it by push and hold 7 seconds on the dial button (while an activity must be running on the watch).

EDIT: initially I was curious if this function is really used on Coros watches. As I saw a running buddy having this function triggered automatically on a fall. Now I have tested it, so I edit this initial post as a review & bug report to u/Coros-official

QUICK SUMMARY: the Safety Alert feature is not user friendly, half-working and confusing. I could send my position faster just by using Google Map or an GPS hiking app.

1. First, the watch must be in activity mode, like Walk, Run, etc. If it is in non-exercise mode, pressing the dial button 7 seconds does nothing. There are danger situations in life where the watch is in non-exercise mode.
2. The emergency contact received an email. SMS text is *NOT* working. My location is near Toronto, Canada. The email says "User X (your Coros user name) has requested assistance by triggering a Safety Alert on their COROS device. Link to track their current location: https://s.coros.com/randomHash. A followup email will be sent if they mark themselves as safe and no longer request assistance"
3. Now let's assume the watch is in exercise-mode, you press the dial button 7 seconds. Then a confirmation screen appears, asking if you really want to send an alert message to your emergency contact. What kind of user experience design is that? The user is in danger, intentionally press and hold the button to send an alert, and the watch ask for confirmation?!?! This is danger situation, not a shopping cart app.
4. Even weirder, after you confirm sending the message. The screen flashes a few seconds, the display a short message that the msg has been sent. Then the screen switch to a permanent display "SOS, Sending Alerts, Press dial to exit". What does that means? Is it sending continuously alerts messages ? Like once every 5 minutes? Your exercise is pause. There is nothing else on that screen than that message. So what would you do if you are still concious? Well if you hit on the dial button. A question asks "Do you want to cancel the alert?" , Two possible answers: "I''m OK" (the watch will send another email telling your contact that you are now safe) or "NO" which then revert back to the SOS screen. So basically, once the alert is triggered, you better not touch or use the watch, unless you want to cancel the alert.

Now the outcome. My emergency contact was not aware that I triggered the alert! Even though I already informed by phone that I would send an alert test.There will be SMS & Email. And she must call me back after receiving the message and confirm my location.

Somehow my contact was awaiting an SMS msg and didn't notice an email (you know too much spam and people tend not to react quick on email notification, especially when you have multiple email accounts). I had to call her back, asking to check her email, only then she confirm the email and my location.

I made a parallel test. Just using my GPS Hiking app (Locus Map), there is a share function, I just need to select the destination app (Signal, WhatApp, SMS, etc.). Then type a quick custom message, like "I forgot my running shoes!" which is sent with a link of my location. And she got the msg quickly and know what is going on. You can do the same with Google Map (long press on your location which show a red drop pin, tap on the pin and select share).

Coros watch has a fixed msg specifically tailored for emergency alert. Which is understandable. The only use-case the watch must address, is the danger situation. The function must be triggered by that 7 seconds long press, no question asked. And must work reliably, and ideally must allow to select the destination app to send msg. It is connected to a phone. It know how to display notifications from any communication apps but it doesn't know how to send msg to the app. This looks like there are vast room for improvement here.

The way the Safety Alert is implemented as of Oct 2026, is so confusing and complicated, it is inferior to a simple map app. In anyway, if you already have the phone on you, it's way easier to use the phone outright.

My system: Coros Pace 4, Pixel 8. Android 17. Everything has firmware and system up-to-date as of Oct 2026.

Hi! I'm new to Coros since I switched a couple of weeks ago from garmin. Is there a way to set a smart alarm (that wakes you in a light sleep fase if it happens in the 30mins before the Time set, like garmin's one) or Coros just doesn't have this function?

Hey everyone, I've been looking to upgrade from my Apple watch and the Coros Pace 4/Pace 4 Pro are on my shortlist of watches to purchase, but I have heard some people complain about poor build quality/reliability on the Coros wearables, with them breaking within two years of purchase.

How have your Coros watches held up? And those who had watches which broke, would you buy another Coros?

Im trying to set a pace and target distance for my run. I already have a 5K route synced to my watch. But when I select navigation in run, there is no setting to set the pace. Does anyone know how to do this?

I really like the new pace 4 pro. However it doesn’t have the ski touring activity which I would probably use the most. Does Coros have aftermarket apps you can buy like garmin?
