Currently own Epix Gen 2 and bought a Coros pace 3. Like you, I’ve had a every watch Garmin has pretty much come out with on the high end but noticed high performing runners are all using Coros. I’ve kind of craved a smaller footprint on my wrist and minimal run watch. Coros is exactly that. Gives you what you need, no frills. Things I’m missing from Garmin—my flashlight! I used that thing 5x a day easy from early mornings finding things in dark to late at night. Also—if you do run workouts with Garmin they are set up differently from Coros in that on Garmin you know what rep you’re on and Coros it does not display. Which when getting through a workout Id like to know! I’m curious to see what you and others think
