can we finally agree that COROS is trash compared to Garmin?

Wouldn't know, forerunner 45 is all I've ever used and will use. Simple as.
Fenixes, shfenixes, and cooroses are for zoomers and other adhd types that need a gorillion useless statistics to keep their attention. They even sleep with their watches lol.

Garmin accuracy sucks big time. Durability is ok. Software is ok. Thats all

But still light years ahead of coros.

If you are having issues with GPS, consider reviewing the Garmin manual; at least some of their watches allow one to choose different satellite choices.

Coros is far superior to Garmin.

Garmin’s accuracy is atrocious. Coros is far superior.

Garmin’s app is about the quality of a 2013 app. Again, Coros far superior.

The display on the Coros is much better than Garmin.

Coros is a junky, low quality, Childs toy. Garmin is a high precision, high durability, tool.

let me tell you one thing. I bought Coros in Summer 2020, a year later i got a warning that my perfectly working watch is included in recall. okay, I fill out form, 2 months later I have 2 perfectly fine watches at the cost of 1. Name one company that will do that

I used Garmin since 2008, probably 5 different miles over the next 12 years. Then this winter I got a Coros, the battery life is waaaaaay better. Even a new Garmin I felt I could only get in maybe 4 runs before needing to charge it, I can go probably three times as long without charging the coros. And the accuracy is the same, any difference between the two is negligible. For all I know the Coros might be slightly more accurate and I just can't tell because as I said, it seems the same. Garmin was the dominant player for so long, their laziness allowed Coros to get into the game and possibly surpass them.

Garmin’s tech support is very good, rather if it’s retrieving info online, or talking to someone on the phone.

Bullchit, but at least consistent throughout.

Whenever I see a post on strava with some wildly inaccurate GPS segments (and not just signals blocked by skyscrapers), its 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.

I was happy with my Coros until it died entirely shortly after warranty. It’s charging cable also used to have some loose contact issues earlier that were manageable though. Until it worked, I didn’t want anything more from a sports watch. Their battery quality control seems poor.

Ahh yes, the far superior watch that requires you to run flat ground in order for a bunch of its metrics to work.

I bought a COROS a little over a year ago. Initially it provided some nice metrics such as vo2max etc... from my trail runs. Then suddenly a few months after use an update came out which reset all those metrics and gave me a message saying I needed to log road runs for 7 days straight for it to measure those metrics it had already been measuring based on trail runs. The watch being marketed as a mountain sports watch with exceptionally long battery life. What a joke. I have a Garmin fenix now and unsurprisingly it DOES NOT require me to completely change my training and run roads in order to produce these metrics.

PS COROS watch faces look like they were created by a little kid. Enjoy your piece of crap toy with long battery.

My Coros 2 works fine, no issues. $200 a couple years ago. Garmin is overpriced. Their GPS is not any better than Coros.

I went from a forerunner 35 to a coros pace 2, and i like it way more, the track feature is nice, and the gps seems accurate enough for what i’m doing

Junkiest GPS watch possible.

The last time I checked, garmin hadn't fixed the issue with running on track clockwise (for left-wrist wearers.)

And a good thing too!

I've heard that their heart rate monitor is sketch AF.
