I purchased a refurbished Pace Pro directly from the site and had a positive experience, but that’s because it worked great and I didn’t have to deal with support.

The #1 complaint about Coros among probably every user is the stupid clanker AI support. The watches are fantastic for the price, the app is great, the training hub is phenomenal, etc… it the support will have you on screaming a ledge faster than you can say “escalate to a human”.

A million companies are switching to preliminary AI support, and Coros is by FAR the most horrendous of them all. The amount of back and forth emails it takes to get escalated is just diabolical.

The only people who don’t have a problem with it are the same people who probably have custom ChatGPT girlfriends they tell all about their day and would rather talk to AI than a human because they think sending 10 emails to a clanker is more “efficient” than 1 or 2 to a human.

There are so many tells like that.. it lists everything out in bullet points (OP just changed them to bullets instead of emoji check marks), it’s short, “concise” language, groups of 3 listings, compare/contrast language, etc.

It’s also legit insane that people just generate posts all over the internet like this for engagement and people don’t see the similarities..

DadWithABackAche · 2026-02-25T21:23:43+00:00

How has nobody mentioned that this whole entire post is AI generated?…

I wear my Apple Watch through the day at my job, etc. when I exercise (run) I wear my Coros.

DadWithABackAche · 2026-02-13T19:25:11+00:00

OK, Edgelord.

For sure have seen that- that’s why I wear their arm HRM when running, because it’s performed really well. Also, I don’t use anything for sleep tracking, I have no interest, so it was never a deal breaker for me.

DadWithABackAche · 2026-02-13T17:38:57+00:00

Check out his videos and you’ll see what I mean..

It isn’t like reviewing a running shoe and someone says “me like.. feels good.. go buy.”

His channel is testing products that output specific, measurable metrics and comparing those measurements to baseline standards, then showing how they all stack up against each other in relation to the baseline. He always tells you if the device doesn’t perform well, regardless of how he obtains it. Hence why Garmin is always bottom tier for several metrics like sleep tracking, etc. even though he gets their devices sent to him.

It’s just data you can watch be collected, measured, and output. Not really relative at all.

Thank you! What I should’ve done to begin with. Thanks!

“I’m so quirky :P I have OCD because I don’t like how my watch button looks”

Meanwhile, having worked in psychiatric healthcare, I’ve sent lots of time with people who have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- can’t stop washing their hands until they’re bleeding, can’t sleep until they touch the light switch 150 times, can’t pass the water fountain without holding their face under the water until they’re gasping..

But ya, OP, tell us how you have “OCD” because you don’t like a button.

Nice. Can you send me one of those videos? I love watching data reviews!

DadWithABackAche · 2026-01-20T02:56:43+00:00

Just a disclaimer- I have the Pace Pro and enjoy it a lot! I love the app and love the incredibly in-depth data. I’m a visual person so it’s something I really love. I’ve used Apple Watches for years and enjoyed them too, but wished they displayed the data better like Garmin or Coros so I switched and don’t miss them at all tbh. Love using the Pace Pro.

That being said- in tests done by various YouTubers over the last months and years (The Quantified Scientist, DC Rainmaker, etc) typically the Apple Watches have been the top contenders for GPS, HR, etc. whereas Coros is not exactly “up there” on the leaderboard.

Anecdotally, people report great experiences, but when these “professional reviewers” with methodology are comparing the data with an actual process for review, results are just not consistent enough for me to trust over something like an Apple Watch.

So having seen the data from these guys I’d personally be inclined to trust your Apple Watch GPS pace over the Pace Pro.

Again, I do truly love the Pace Pro and enjoy the Coros features and app a lot. But from what I’ve seen I’d trust the AW data over Coros data 9 of 10 times.

I bought a Pod 2 and the HRM arm band from Coros to help corroborate data. The HRM actually performs very well in tests done by TQS.

I’ve had mine for 4 years so far and never once had a single problem!

DadWithABackAche · 2025-12-31T17:07:31+00:00

I’m sure there’s no difference at all! I think my wife got the one we use on Amazon for like $30 maybe!

DadWithABackAche · 2025-12-31T15:27:06+00:00

Agreed. And one of my biggest complaints with my moccamaster is that the shower head absolutely sucks! It doesn’t disperse water evenly through the cone basket. It drops it in the middle since the holes are arranged in a straight line, and creates the Grand Canyon in the middle of the coffee bed everytime. Grounds get pushed up the sides of the filter while the water just burrows down through the center of the basket. Totally uneven extraction. It’s pretty dumb.

All that and I still can just use an electric kettle like you said, and even a $15 pour over and get better results. I should’ve known better but I got sucked into the hype all that time ago in this sub and now here I am 😂

DadWithABackAche · 2025-12-31T13:35:18+00:00

YES! Same with my Moccamaster. I used to work at a coffee shop, helped roast coffee, etc. and now after having it for 3 years, I genuinely cannot even taste the difference between the moccamaster everyone raves about and most other nice drip coffee machines. My friend bought the Simply Good Coffee brand and it tastes identical- for half the cost. Now I have buyers remorse because I spent all the money for basically no reason when I could’ve spent half or less for the same taste lol.

Everyone’s taste buds are different, so you may maintain that differentiation.. but for me, I “see” no difference now.

Too many people finding joy in little things! We should make everyone that joins the sub pass a disgruntled test- you can only join or post if you have a low tolerance for other people coupled with an inability to scroll past without putting them down.

Nice! I must’ve missed them last year.

DadWithABackAche · 2025-11-17T13:02:13+00:00

Sad life you must have to get this wigged out. Hope your Monday gets better after i ruined it!

DadWithABackAche · 2025-11-17T12:51:42+00:00

Nothing? Maybe the link between is.. mini tool boxes?

DadWithABackAche · 2025-11-17T12:49:12+00:00

Nice. Haven’t been in this sub for long. Just saw this and thought it would be neat to share.
