Not a Pace 4. Either Pace Pro or Pace Plus. Priced between $300-$350. AMOLED (obviously) and supposedly a superior processor and battery. Pace 3 will continue alongside it.
It might be but coros said the pace 4 is coming out in the next in like march
Both of coros higher priced watches are focused around general outdoors use. I assume this will be their premium running focused watch similar to the Garmin Forerunner 200 or 900 series.
The real news is when Coros and Jakob partner to make a mass market lactate meter...
What makes a watch "faster"?
Coros is a Shenzhen-based Chinese company. Not sure about you, but personally I'm not super keen on the idea of the CCP having a tracking beacon on my arm. Coros watches are compatible with the BeiDou-3 GPS system which is capable of two-way communication between receiver and the satellites. And you know that 100% of the data collected by the app is going directly to them as well. Spend the extra money on Garmin, an American company who manufactures in Taiwan, a close US ally.

You worried they'll see you going from your parent's basement to the gay bar?

Seriously, sissy mods removed my legitimate criticism of Coros watches? How stupid.
I don't get why people have Coros HRM on their arm when their Garmin watch already tracks HR. It seems gimmicky but Coros has been effective at pushing their products on the younger generation of runners.

The optical HRM on all devices has serious limitations in regards to accuracy. And Garmin doesn't offer an arm strap, only a chest strap. Many people find the comfort of the arm strap superior to the chest.

chest strap>arm strap>wrist optics
Yes, but you can use the arm strap with a Garmin watch. It is compatible just it is with a Coros.
