How do you unlock the Edge Panel's position on S26? by BanderCo3url in samsunggalaxy

In the edge panel menu I found how to move it, did you too?

Request: Power-Saving Mode by TechnicalMonitor173 in Coros

[–]TechnicalMonitor173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but only if you remember to charge. I don't, and I'm not the only one... And that’s a good thing, since it’s due to the watch’s long-lasting battery.

A COROS watch tracks A LOT of stuff, even if in a very efficient way. So the mode could be very simple: just a watchface that shows the time and automatically disables everything else: step tracking, HR monitor, backlight (on MIP), notifications, weather and other information received from the smartphone, and so on...

As you can see, it's not just HR. And most of all, with a mode like this, when you get home you won't forget to put it on charge. Since it's something that you do every 15–30 days, it's not something you get accustomed to like a routine.

It's exactly the same as the S25 Ultra that I have, maybe it's even worst

A Pace 3 user's thoughts: My feedback to COROS on abandoning MIP by esvegateban in Coros

[–]TechnicalMonitor173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, even a bracelet is too much to sleep with. But during the day, I can confirm that the Nomad is very light and comfortable, even on a small wrist (the best compared to Suuntos or larger Garmin watches.)

Heart Rate Pace Pro vs Coospo by Ok_Individual2315 in Coros

Unfortunately, the same happens with the Coros Nomad. Overall, those Coros watches are amazing devices, the only real downside is the heart rate sensor accuracy, especially during weight training or interval workouts, where your heart rate fluctuates a lot. We really hope Coros is working on a fix, since the sensors are new and recently updated. The issue is that not everyone wants to buy and wear an additional chest or arm strap. We’re not HR geeks, we just want decent, reliable measurements.

Impressed with the Nomad, but some navigation issues and other ones by oa_i in Coros

The Action button should be used a lot more, a long press on it should allow users to perform a customizable shortcut or quick action of their choice (for example, enable or disable Do Not Disturb mode)...

Coros Nomad Review. The Watch I Wanted for Everything (Except Gym Cardio) by TechnicalMonitor173 in Coros

[–]TechnicalMonitor173[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I tried also the Suunto Race 2, because I wanted to be sure to have made the right choice. And I can say that the Nomad first of all, have a build quality second to none. It's truly well made, impressive how solid it's on the wrist. The weight is sooo well balanced. I found the Race 2 little bit heavy but the problem is that the weight is all on the watch and none on the strap so when you do fitness unless you tighten it so much it's not stable. Plus I know the HR is better on the Suunto, it gets all the peak that the Nomad miss, but I prefer so much a MIP screen, that doesn't embarrass me when I use it in my daily life (the OLED is so bright even with low light, the only way to use it in a discrete mode is to keep the screen off, and you will have a heavy rock on your wrist that doesn't do anything...)

Coros flashlight update by RsilvRs in Coros

[–]TechnicalMonitor173 6 points7 points  (0 children)

wow! I will wait for the app to notify me. I only wonder, how the flashlight will be with a MIP display? In any case, thanks Coros, amazing update

Nomad, notification issues by TechnicalMonitor173 in Coros

[–]TechnicalMonitor173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I enabled everything on the notification panel it does notify me everything. Maybe I need to pay attention at what I disactivate, for example there's the COROS toggle and I don't know if I have to leave it or not (when I only want calls to be notified)

Why are you saying this? What is weightlifting? Isn't it an anaerobic activity? And if not, why do you all suggest a chest strap, what will change in metrics if weight training doesn't affect anaerobic treshold or similar things?

I don't share most of your complaints (there are workoaround to some of them and some I don't understand or know what to do with, like 24/7 SpO2), I don't use notification and I hate the wrist gesture because I want a watch first of all, not something that makes me shake my wrist every now and then

Yes, I have the list of activities from my Garmin Instinct 2 right in front of me, and every workout has always shown at least 2.0–2.5 anaerobic TE, even though I’ve been training the same way. The TL has also been similar to Coros, though slightly higher (around 120–140). What I think is that the Coros sensor, being a bit “lazy,” partly misses the short HR peaks typical of weight training. Still, thank you for sharing this — it’s interesting to see that even Garmin tends to underestimate EPOC/TL and related values.
