🏃‍♂️ COROS Pace 4: All the improvements over the Pace 3 — and what thankfully remains the same

So now there is the COROS Pace 4 — and this is no small update. It's a clear next-generation design, one that feels more modern and technically more refined, while retaining the strengths of the Pace 3.

In this article you can read what's new, what's better, and what COROS has deliberately kept the same.

The Pace 3 used an energy-efficient MIP display, like many sports watches. Functional, but not very modern.

The Pace 4 introduces a 1.2” AMOLED display — a huge upgrade:

• much brighter and richer in contrast
• sharper readability in low light and indoor workouts
• feels premium and more modern
• more pleasant in daily use, also as a smartwatch

This is the change that instantly makes the Pace 4 a new generation.

The Pace 4 gets a touchscreen and an extra Action button. That means:

• explore routes faster

• swipe through data screens more easily

• activate an interval or lap immediately

• intuitive operation during runs

It's still typical COROS: you don't have to use touch if you don't want to. Button controls still work perfectly.

COROS has developed a new Pace 4 new generation optical heart rate sensor used. Practical advantages:

• fewer spikes and drops

• better measurement during interval training

• more accurate in cold weather

• more stable with a lot of wrist movements (trail runs)

It's a quiet but important improvement for those who seriously train on heart rate.

The Pace 3 was already known for its excellent dual-frequency GPS accuracy. The Pace 4 further refines this with:

• faster satellite lock

• better performance in urban areas and forests

• fewer deviations on technical trails

• faster pace during intervals

It is not a revolution, but it is a noticeable evolution.

Perhaps the greatest technical achievement:

Despite the new AMOLED screen, the battery life at least the same and in many GPS modes even better then the Pace 3.This is what COROS always excels at:

• extremely efficient software

• economical GPS architecture

• smart energy modes

The Pace 4 therefore remains one of the most powerful batteries in its class.

COROS doesn't change anything good here:

✔ GPX navigation
✔ breadcrumb routing
✔ warnings when deviating from the route
✔ extensive sports profiles (running, trail running, cycling, swimming, triathlon)
✔ training load, recovery advice and analyses via the COROS app

The Pace 4 adds ease of use above all, such as:

• easier scrolling through routes thanks to touchscreen

• additional sports profiles

• voice memos for quick notes during training

The Pace 3 is loved for a few things that thankfully not have disappeared:

✔ Ultralight design

The Pace 4 remains one of the lightest sports watches on the market.

✔ Simple, logical interface

COROS keeps things minimalist and fast. No unnecessary menus.

✔ Good price-quality ratio

The Pace series has always been the "performance for less" line. And it remains so.

✔ Durable construction and strong buttons

No experiments — just solid, no-nonsense.

The Pace 4 is a clear upgrade in all important areas:

• more modern and brighter display

• better heart rate measurement

• improved GPS

• faster and more intuitive to use

• battery performance that remains surprisingly strong

At the same time, the watch retains all the key strengths of the Pace 3.
It therefore feels like a Pace 3, but more mature, modern and future-proof.

Perfect for runners, trail runners, and multi-sport enthusiasts who want a lightweight, accurate, and easy-to-use sports watch — but now with a display that finally has the look to match its performance.
