COROS Unveils $449 Pace 4 Pro Watch With 3500-Nit AMOLED and 21-Day Battery

Summary

  • $449 buys COROS's new Pace 4 Pro, a multisport watch aimed at endurance athletes with a 1.47-inch AMOLED screen, titanium bezel and sapphire crystal lens.
  • The headline features are a 3,500-nit display, dual-band GPS and a fourth-generation optical heart-rate sensor, backed by battery life of up to 21 days or 30 to 60 hours in GPS modes.
  • At 38g without the band, the watch also adds 32GB storage for offline maps and MP3s, plus voice commands and live tracking for long runs, hikes and ultramarathons.
  • Its trade-offs are limited smartwatch features: no NFC payments, no app store, clunky music integration and fewer advanced health metrics than rival devices.
  • That leaves the Pace 4 Pro positioned as a focused endurance tool rather than a broad smartwatch, even as its price sits above the prior model and near competitors from Garmin, Suunto and Amazfit.
