COROS PACE 4 vs Whoop 5.0
Our pick: COROS PACE 4 takes it — 84 vs 82.
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.
- Whoop 5.0 — You train by readiness and want the deepest recovery and strain analytics in a screenless band — now with medical-grade ECG and blood-pressure metrics.
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.
Whoop 5.0
A 14-day battery, a 7% smaller band, on-demand ECG and daily blood-pressure insights — the biggest Whoop leap yet. It's still screenless, still subscription-only, and heart-rate accuracy still isn't quite elite.
