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.
Rare for a smartwatch with real GPS and health sensors to work fully on both platforms — Versa 4 does.
Turn-by-turn navigation and NFC payments without needing your phone in hand.
Sleep stages, daily readiness score, Active Zone Minutes, and SpO2 — all on a 6-day charge.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
$249 vs $387 over 3 years · no required subscription.
19 days vs 6 days battery.
4 sensors.
32g · 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.
