Coros Pace 3 vs Coros Pace Pro

Same rating and the same training-tier analytics, but the Pace Pro's $100 premium buys real offline maps and navigation that the discontinued Pace 3 doesn't offer.

The Full Story

Coros pulled the Pace 3 from new production, but it remains a genuinely excellent, no-frills running watch wherever you can still find one. If the price is right, don't let 'discontinued' scare you off.

Pace Pro keeps everything that makes the Pace line great and adds real navigation, making it the pick for runners who occasionally explore new routes or trails. Still light, still focused, just a bit more capable.

*Estimated — this model's exact GPS battery life isn't published by the manufacturer. All figures are standard GPS mode, midsize case, no solar boost.

†Estimated — this model launched too recently to have an established customer rating yet.
