By swapping the silicone strap for a nylon strap, Coros has turned their already lightweight Pace 3 into a featherweight. The latest generation of Coros’ budget-friendly multisport watch gets improved GPS, a touchscreen, and a more precise heart rate monitor. The Pace 3’s biggest win comes from the dual frequency GPS, by tapping into more satellites, the watch gets a more accurate and reliable signal, especially in challenging terrain. You see these GPS benefits in precise tracks and a stronger connection under heavy tree cover and in dense cities. The touchscreen allows you swipe around your preloaded courses, while the signature dial lets you zoom in and out, making it easy to review your route with a single finger. By adding additional sensors to the optical heart rate monitor, your heart rate data is more complete than ever and adds the ability to track blood oxygen levels. And when you want even more, you can synch with the free COROS app to build, share and download custom routes and workouts, review activities, receive texts, social media alerts and email.
