COROS PACE 4 vs RingConn Gen 2
Dead heat — 84 vs 84. Your use case is the tiebreaker.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- COROS PACE 4 — You coach runners or triathletes and want accurate GPS, a readable AMOLED and two-plus weeks of battery at a mid-range price, without Garmin's markup.
- RingConn Gen 2 — Buy it if you want Oura-level sleep and recovery tracking without a monthly fee and value the best battery life on the market.
COROS PACE 4
The PACE 3 formula with a bright AMOLED: still ultralight, accurate on GPS and good for up to 19 days, now with a microphone, an action button and, since the September 2026 update, offline maps in beta. It costs about 40 EUR more than the PACE 3 does now, which is the only real catch.
RingConn Gen 2
The RingConn Gen 2 is the strongest no-subscription answer to Oura: class-leading battery (up to 12 days plus a ~150-day charging case), a genuinely thin, light titanium build, solid sleep and heart-rate accuracy, and no monthly fee. The app is dense and less polished than Oura's, but for anyone who resents subscriptions, it's the smart ring to beat.
