P.s. And you may very well be right. That is the site I got it from, but I didn't think it was misinformation as the timing lines up correctly based on past releases.
I'm not sure what to tell you friend, but this is where I got the information from. Maybe it's bogus info, I don't know, but...I didn't make it up;)
What’s new in pace 3? Seems like the same as 2, or at least I can’t make out what the big difference is.
There is a spec column in the article comparing the 2 watches.
I'm in my 50's friend, I'm just trying to find a nice looking watch with bigger clear numbers and a fair to decent GPS...sorry, none of them are even close to spot on accurate.
Not Garmin or Coros or Polar, they aren't as we've done many test with them and gotten 3th of a mile difference over a 7 mile run with the same exact watch. There's no reason for that as both watches are under the same conditions running the same path.
I'm not cheap, but I'm not paying $400-$500 for a watch that is truly a timer on your wrist.
My only complaint with coros is I can’t figure out how to get rid of all the junk stats. Show me pace time splits and HR. Instead I have to scroll 20 menus just to reach what I’m looking for. I’ve had garmin 45 and coros pace 2 both becaus they’re the cheapest and they feel the exact same for stuff that actually matters (gps, pace, hr)

Not sure what "3th of a mile means," but on my regular routes the KMs beep off at basically the exact same location (Garmin 235).
Even if it is inaccurate (which I don't think it is), it is certainly internally consistent.

Same in my experience with my 8 mile runs along the same route. I seem to get the same distance to within 0.01-0.02 miles.
But I hate Coros now because my watch is now useless shortly after warranty and they have no battery replacement service.

Sorry. I meant .3 or 1/3rd of a mile but mis-typed. That was the difference in 2 watches over a 7 mile run. The were the exact same Garmin watch and both runners ran the same route, I was with them and saw the watch displays when we finished. They were Garmin watches but I think it'd have been the same with a Coros or Polar.
I don't know what anyone else's experience has been, just saying that is what happened many times on runs with the team...just one example of it being off that much.
I saw several cross country races where athletes wore them and again, there were always differences over 5000 meters. I'm not nitpicking or looking for an argument, just sharing my experience with GPS signals.

So you ran the test with Garmins but you assume it would be the same for Coros or Polar? Why is that? Do they use the exact same technology, components, software, and satellites?
Garmin makes the best running watch. it’s not even close.
Not true. They are just another company with a recognizable name that people follow. Their watches do the same thing that Coros does and I don't even own a Coros but several friends do and have had no issues.
Whenever I see a post on strava with some wildly inaccurate GPS segments (and not just signals blocked by skyscrapers), it’s always a coros. I'm sure they're fine most of the time though, and I'm sure there are other things they do well.
COROS is a good entry level running watch brand, but their quality control isn’t the best. They lack software and hardware features that other companies such as Garmin have. They constantly have bugs or watches that magically break once the warranty is up. They constantly promise features, and then they never happen or they get pushed back months before COROS releases them
