| Next model | — | COROS Vertix 3 (2026 or 2027) |
First COROS Pace with AMOLED — a vivid 1.2" touchscreen in a 32g nylon-band body, making it the lightest AMOLED GPS running watch at this price.
16 more GPS hours than the Pace 3, with 19 days typical use. Best-in-class battery life for a sub-$250 AMOLED GPS running watch.
Dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS for precise tracking in cities and trails, plus built-in voice pin recording and audio lap alerts — new for the Pace line.
No other GPS watch currently on the market delivers 140 hours of GPS tracking — enough for most ultra-endurance events and multi-day mountain traverses.
GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BeiDou + QZSS with dual-frequency reduces error in challenging terrain to near-meter precision.
Military-grade scratch and impact resistance for the harshest environments: extreme altitude, cold, and sustained physical stress.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
$249 vs $699 over 3 years · no required subscription.

Serious runners on a budget who want multi-band GPS accuracy, a bright AMOLED display, long battery life, and COROS's training analytics (EvoLab) without paying Garmin mid-range prices. The Pace 4's 32g weight also makes it the lightest AMOLED GPS running watch available.
