“Was hovering between 4 and 5 stars. When researching products I wanted something which could obtain a GPS straight away and long battery life. In terms of these aspects I've far from been let down. I often run under a railway bridge and GPS picks up straight away on emerging. There are lots of metrics if you need them and I can only assume it works for those more into higher performance. For my needs the basic information (route, pace, time) is readily available and other information doesn't get in the way. The Coros App provides what I need and the interface with other software e.g. Strava is pretty much instantaneous
One feature this product is sold on is the use of the crown dial to move through menus. I like this feature, it is easy to use and yes at times it can rotate involuntarily but I haven't found this to be a problem.
The auto pause is a bit slow to kick in and then start again (2 or 3 seconds) so may be an issue for some.
The other aspect veering towards 4 stars is there isn't a readily available user guide or it wasn't obvious. I have had to do a lot of playing around to work out functions and what the icons mean. Thankfully I have had some time to do this.
As an 'entry level' watch I'm surprised it doesn't have a 'walk' function but it's no 'biggy'.
I wear it pretty much all day every day and as marketed it is very light and hardly noticeable.
The big plus for me (at the risk of sounding sad) is when setting up you can change the preference to wearing on your right wrist and also have the buttons on the left hand side of the face - you just need to change the strap over for this. As a left hander this really was important and a major plus for me.
Overall some minor negatives but if this watch is performing in two years time like it is now I'll be very happy.”
“It's decent, for its price I was expecting so much from it, 6 days in and I've not even touched half of the battery life, its easy to navigate and the features packed into it are fantastic”
“I bought this watch because I wanted something that would link directly to strava and whilst my previous watch was really good for all the triathlon diciplines it didn’t link to external apps and my club training requires strava. My other criteria was you must be able to swim in it and be able to measure distance, stroke etc. In terms of its functionality, i can’t fault it. I have used it for runs and bike rides but not yet tested in the swimming pool, will have to wait for them to reopen. It’s super light on the wrist that you don’t even know you are wearing it. Overall it is a super watch. The reason in have dropped a star is that it would be good if it also had a walking functionality. I do frequent 10km walks as well as the triathlon disciplines but i have to log these directly through strava as there is no walk functionality. That said, anyone who buys this watch will not be disappointed.”
