COROS PACE 3
85Score · Medium

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.

The coach's strain-and-recovery band — screenless, always-on, built for athletes who train by readiness. The subscription model is the commitment.
