It’s a few days in the future now and in total, I tested the Pace Pro and Pace 3 during 2 indoor runs, 2 outdoor runs, 2 indoor bikerides, 8 outdoor bikerides and 1 weight lifting session. But let’s first do a lightning round where we discuss the 23 most important things to know about the COROS PACE Pro and how it is different from the PACE 3. First, let's talk about the display and design. The COROS PACE Pro features a 1.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 416 by 416 pixels, which is super bright at 1500 nits, and so far I have had no problem in bright Autumn sunlight, but of course I couldn’t test it in summer yet. And in my opinion it does look better than the PACE 3's 1.2-inch MIP screen, though I also like the screen of the PACE 3 if I’m honest. The screen is protected by reinforced mineral glass, so no sapphire glass, and the watch is housed in a high-strength polymer casing and comes with options for nylon or silicone bands. I always prefer these nylon bands, both for comfort and heart rate tracking performance. The PACE Pro boasts a processor that delivers twice the performance of the PACE 3, which leads to smooth operation and faster map zooming. The battery life of the PACE Pro is pretty good, especially considering it has an AMOLED display. During activities it offers up to 38 hours of battery life with all systems GPS and 31 hours with dual-frequency GPS. Just for reference, the PACE 3 lasts just 15 hours in dual frequency GPS mode. For daily use, it can last up to 20 days without the always-on display mode, reducing the need for frequent charging. Connectivity options include support for Bluetooth music and you can also connect accessories via bluetooth, like an external heart rate monitor or power meter. The Pace Pro has 32GB of storage for your media needs, which is a lot more than the 4GB of the PACE 3. The PACE Pro also features WiFi that is three times faster than its predecessor, allowing for quick data syncing and updates. In terms of sensors and health monitoring, the PACE Pro is equipped with an optical heart rate sensor, barometric altimeter, accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, pulse oximeter (SpO2), and ECG. With these sensors COROS aims to provide comprehensive health data, including advanced features like sleep tracking, recovery timer, and heart rate variability. The PACE Pro offers a wide range of training and activity modes, including running, cycling, swimming, and more. It includes training features like EvoLab, running fitness tests, and recommended training loads, hopefully making it suitable for athletes of all levels. Navigation now has offline global mapping, which means landscape and topographic maps can be downloaded
