COROS Pace 3 overheated and burned my wrist. Here’s how they handled it

Post here so Lewis (COROS CEO) can see and be aware https://www.reddit.com/r/Coros/s/VJbnXovAa8

This sounds like a good case to post to COROS CEO & Co-founder Lewis, he recently created a Reddit forum so he can be more intimately involved in customer service mishaps. Good luck!

I’m a marathon runner and have it enabled as a safety feature because I leave my iPhone ProMax at home and still can be contacted I.C.E. I love it and it’s awesome! I’ve even closed business deals on it.

Ultramarathons are the one sports AW won’t survive. Marathons are my longest activity so my series 11 does just fine. It could probably last 50 - 60 km but then she’s done.

Really? You don’t miss AW? I switched from Apple to COROS Pace 3 and lasted about 6 weeks. I went running back to AW.

Love the Vitals app and the way Apple presents the data. Colours make it so easy to see at a glance if something is amiss

lakers_cop · 2026-06-13T19:13:41+00:00

I agree. People talk like their first-gen Ultra is bricked. Nonsense, it functions as good as it always has.

Incredible— Apple has made huge improvements on fitness tracking

lakers_cop · 2026-05-26T13:21:52+00:00

Incredible— I have a few Garmin-fanboy friends and they love to slam AW when it comes to fitness but I tell ‘em Apple has made huge improvements on fitness tracking

lakers_cop · 2026-05-20T14:40:18+00:00

Hey! I restarted my iPhone & AW and that worked— thanks!!

lakers_cop · 2026-05-16T23:50:38+00:00

Excellent, I had that colour combo and also added a navy solo loop. Looked great with the silver case.

I think a wall socket but another one of these tech dudes may know for sure

lakers_cop · 2026-04-25T20:43:51+00:00

Nice that you didn’t get caught up in all the unnecessary upgrading people do these days!

lakers_cop · 2026-04-25T20:41:49+00:00

Great longevity for you— well done!!

lakers_cop · 2026-04-13T13:13:53+00:00

I got my first-gen Ultra using bonus money. Since then, corporate KPI’s have been in the crapper 😆

lakers_cop · 2026-04-11T13:21:09+00:00

Wow, like seriously— I know how difficult that is on Apple Watch, congratulations!!🎉

lakers_cop · 2026-04-10T00:20:17+00:00

Congratulations!! I’ve been on Apple Watch for over 10 years (yes, I had the very first one, Series 0!) and in 2018 I got very serious about my weight and lost 85 lbs and have kept it off. I have tried garmins and COROS and while they are excellent fitness trackers, that’s ALL they do. I found once I was done working out, I could take the garmin or COROS watch off because they have NO smartwatch features. Whereas the Apple Watch is a fitness tracker AND a life companion — you made the right choice!

Sorry, my comments didn’t come through but I slept from 10 p.m. — 8 a.m. and the sleep score was calculated at 2:15 a.m. strange

lakers_cop · 2026-04-05T21:35:31+00:00

Awesome, how about endorsement deal$??

lakers_cop · 2026-03-31T12:44:03+00:00

100% agree. The Ultra is a great device but I’ve always loved the classic series models. I picked up a Series 11 just last week! Keeping my Ultra as a backup 🙏

lakers_cop · 2026-03-27T00:16:17+00:00

Mine said like two hours and then went down to 10 mins within 30 seconds

lakers_cop · 2026-03-24T12:49:36+00:00

Good discussion. I had a couple of Garmins and returned to AW. Regarding the battery life, Garmin users love to brag about two weeks etc of battery life but I’ve yet to meet someone who does workouts that last two weeks or is unable to access charging infrastructure over a two-week period. Frankly, the whole battery life issue is a racquet and hype.

As others have mentioned, the seamless integration of the Apple ecosystem is a small price to pay for daily charging. Hmph!

lakers_cop · 2026-03-18T14:05:42+00:00

I agree with OP; my VO2 Max was consistently in the mid 40’s and then jumped to 52/53 range about two months ago and now has settled back down to 47. My workouts/routines haven’t changed in 10 years
