I will note that I bought this watch from the Clever Training website and not on Amazon because I had concerns that I would get the Asian version. I had a coupon code so it kind of made up for the difference in price and it was well worth the peace of mind.
The app works well and gives me a lot of data about trail and road running. Super happy I bought it, well worth the money.
Note: unless you have really small wrists, spring for the 46mm.
So I wasn't able to actually use the device and didn't even get a chance to wear it once, so I can't speak to how well the device would work (other than it didn't work out of the box). This review is just to give others pause as it seems they will not stand behind their products. I ultimately returned mine to Amazon (love Amazon's return policies, saved me all my money), but for those that have a working device that may have issues, there is a really good chance they won't honor their warranty.
Cons: The user guide that came with this watch is entirely inadequate. I've been searching YouTube and the web trying to learn how to get the most out of this watch and the app, but it's been very time-consuming with little payoff. Pausing a workout is like playing a carnival game with the knob - tedious and difficult to get it just right to pause. To charge the watch, you have to remove a tiny rubber piece from the watch - seems like a bad design to have such a small piece that completely separates from the watch. Coros did provide two spares in the box, presumably because they realize people will lose those pieces.

Es lassen sich durch die App 48 verschiedene Ziffernblätter laden, die dann auch noch mit unterschiedlichen Farben ausgestattet werden können! Die App ist ebenfalls sehr einfach gestaltet, sodass das Einrichten der Uhr auch sehr einfach ist! Sie ist Wasserdicht, kann links wie rechts getragen werden und das Saphirglas schützt vor Kratzern!
Wenn man vielleicht ein anderes Armband haben möchte, der Austausch ist ganz einfach und die Armbänder der Coros Pace 2 passen auch, als ein Wechsel auf ein Nylon-Armband ist möglich.
I heard a lot of great things about COROS before purchasing and I have to say, it has lived up to the hype.
The battery life is unbelievable and I only have to charge every 10-14 days, whilst running 5 times per week, clocking 35-50 miles per week.
When the battery is low, it also has a nifty battery save feature where the backlight and data synchronisation (with the COROS app, Strava etc.) are disabled until you charge the watch. I managed an 8 mile run with the watch on 7% battery and it still had 4% when I finished.
In terms of value, I have to say you will not get this much watch for the money anywhere else. I am enjoying monitoring elevation as I run with the barometer. (A feature that You will usually need to spend at least £450 to obtain from rival brands)
Initially I had a bit of an issue viewing the screen during high sun but after changing the watch face from white text on black background to black text on white this was no longer an issue.
The COROS customer support is second to none. Any queries I have asked have been answered comprehensively and concisely in under 24 hours.
Regular firmware updates demonstrate that COROS are a company that are continually improving and I will look forward to seeing how they improve this already great watch in the future.
