On the Run

Setup

I mentioned that one of the highlights for me with this watch was the ease of use and I meant it. Total time from unboxing the watch to taking it on a run was about 30 minutes and most of that time was just spent topping off the charge and playing around on the app. Once the watch is on and the app is downloaded, the watch shows a QR code on its face which you scan with the app to pair the two. After that, you're ready to go.

Strava Compatibility

You can sync the app with your Strava profile and this is another area where I was impressed with the speed of the Pace. As soon as I'm finished a workout I get a notification that the activity has been uploaded to Strava, and I mean immediately after I finish. I'm used to a bit more of a delay with my other watches. As of right now, Strava is the only tracker supported by the Coros app but there are plans to accommodate many more in upcoming software updates.

Data Screens

During an activity, the watch shows a series of 4 data screens which you can cycle through, all of which are fully customizable. Each data screen can be divided into one, two, or three fields, and you can select what each field displays. With the default, you've got a basic workout overview, a heart rate screen, a lap screen, and an elevation screen. I also added a 5th data screen that just shows time of day.
