COROS PACE Pro

Screen and processor

The screen is the first reason to pay more than PACE 4. PACE Pro’s 1.3-inch AMOLED shows 416 × 416 pixels in full color under mineral glass, and COROS rates it at 1,500 nits. You use it by touch, with the digital dial and a back button.

COROS calls the Ambiq Apollo510 inside the most advanced processor in any COROS device, and claims 2x over PACE 3, plus maps and graphics 30x faster than APEX 2 Pro. That matters most when you’re scrolling a map mid-run.

Battery and GPS

Mode	PACE Pro	With always-on
Daily use and sleep tracking	20 days	6 days
High All-Systems GPS	38 hours	28 hours
High All-Systems with offline music	13 hours	11 hours
Max Dual Frequency	31 hours	24 hours
Max Dual Frequency with offline music	12 hours	10 hours

Every GPS figure here assumes all satellite systems or dual-frequency; COROS gives PACE Pro no rating in the GPS-and-QZSS Standard Full GPS mode, so 38 hours is its longest. Always-on costs roughly a quarter of the GPS time, and most of the daily battery. A full charge over USB-C takes under 2 hours.

Health and training sensors

PACE Pro adds an electrocardiogram sensor to the optical heart-rate sensor, which also reads resting and underwater heart rate. The pulse oximeter has an altitude mode for checking SpO2 high up, and there’s a thermometer, barometric altimeter, 3D compass, accelerometer and gyroscope. None of the health readings is a diagnosis.

EvoLab covers training load, fatigue, recovery, a race predictor, VO2 max and threshold zones. PACE Pro adds a virtual pacer and action-camera control to Effort Pace, intervals, training plans and the running form test.

Maps

It downloads global landscape and topo maps, with checkpoints, back-to-start, off-route alerts and touch control. 32GB leaves room for maps and music together.

Which PACE to buy

PACE 4 costs $249, comes in a smaller case and has the same kind of maps; with all satellite systems on, it’s rated to run longer than PACE Pro. It also has a microphone and an action button, which COROS doesn’t list for PACE Pro. PACE 3, cut from $229 to $199, has a Memory LCD and breadcrumb navigation instead of maps. Pay for PACE Pro when the bigger screen, the storage or ECG is the point.

Weighing a Garmin instead? The Forerunner 570 is Garmin’s running and triathlon watch in 42mm and 47mm, one step below the Forerunner 970.

Price

PACE Pro’s original US price was $349. Both coros.com and COROS’s products page had it at $299 on 19 September 2026. COROS has cut the price before, so check the store when you buy.
