Apple Watch Series 11 vs COROS PACE 3
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: Apple Watch Series 11 takes it — 86 vs 85.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- Apple Watch Series 11 — You're upgrading from a Series 6 or older and want the best all-round Apple Watch — real battery life, brighter screen, and the new health alerts, with no subscription.
- COROS PACE 3 — You want a light, accurate, long-lasting running/triathlon watch with serious training tools at a low price.
Our pick 
Apple Watch Series 11
86Score · High
from €380.99
The battery finally goes the distance — up to 24 hours — and hypertension notifications plus 5G land real health wins. But it's an iterative jump: Series 9 and 10 owners gain little, and the cheaper SE undercuts it.
COROS PACE 3
85Score · Medium
from €228.95
An ultralight, no-nonsense running watch with accurate dual-frequency GPS and huge battery life for the money — still one of the best value GPS watches around, now that its price has dropped below the newer PACE 4.
