Summary

  • $289 buys COROS’s new Suguru Osako special-edition Pace 4, a runner-focused smartwatch now on sale with the Japanese marathon star’s “now or never” branding.
  • 19 days of battery life and more than 41 hours of real-time GPS tracking headline the release, alongside a 1.2-inch AMOLED display, aluminum-alloy case and a voice-enabled action button.
  • COROS kept the software package from the standard Pace 4, including free training plans, race predictor, virtual pacer and personalized marathon plans in its app.
