The most impressive aspect of the new COROS smartwatch is its weight. With a plastic construction, the watch weighs just 30 grams, just 1 gram heavier than the PACE 2. This makes it half the weight of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic
The watch is also equipped with dual-band GPS. This allows for more accurate tracking, especially in difficult environments such as tall buildings and densely forested cities. Turning this setting on will naturally drain your battery faster.
Talking about the battery, COROS PACE 3 has a bigger battery than PACE 2. The former has 236 mAh and the latter 220 mAh. COROS claims this small boost provides up to eight hours of additional GPS power. The company claims 38 hours of continuous GPS tracking and 24 days of daily use, though we'll let you know our results when we post our review.
Otherwise, the PACE 3 has the same or better specs than the PACE 2. It has all the expected health tracking sensors (heart rate, sleep tracking and SpO2) as well as several new activity tracking modes (walk, walk, run, ride). ) , skiing and snowboarding), built-in music playback and the same trans-reflector we saw on the PACE 2 are always in view.
