Coros launches the Pace 4 Pro, a lightweight and refined running watch that boasts a larger AMOLED screen, premium materials, dual-frequency GPS, and extended battery life, targeting serious athletes seeking a high-end yet versatile smartwatch.
Coros has pushed the Pace line further upmarket with the Pace 4 Pro, a running watch that shifts the emphasis from software novelty to hardware refinement. According to Coros and several launch reports, the model adds a larger AMOLED panel, titanium elements, sapphire protection, dual-frequency GPS and expanded battery life, while keeping the watch in a relatively light format for road and trail runners. The result is a device aimed at athletes who want premium materials and serious training tools without moving into the bulk of a full outdoor watch.
The case is still restrained, but the materials are a clear step up from the more basic sports-watch formula. Technoluting’s review says the body remains largely plastic to preserve weight, while the bezel and crown are titanium and the display is covered by sapphire crystal. Coros says the watch uses aerospace-grade TC4 titanium alloy and weighs 43 grams with the strap, while the Technoluting test places the bare watch at 38 grams and describes it as comfortable enough to disappear on the wrist during training. Both accounts agree that the watch is 5ATM-rated, so it is suitable for rain, showers and surface swimming, but not diving.
The display is the headline change. Coros says the Pace 4 Pro uses a 1.47-inch AMOLED panel with a 466 x 466 resolution, and Wareable reports peak brightness of 3,500 nits. Technoluting likewise describes the screen as unusually large for the watch’s size, noting that it occupies a greater share of the front face than previous Pace models. In practice, that should make pace, heart-rate and navigation data easier to read in bright conditions, while an always-on mode lets users keep key metrics visible during both daily wear and workouts.
Coros has also expanded the watch’s navigation and communications features. According to the company, the Pace 4 Pro includes onboard mapping, dual-frequency GPS and voice notes, while Technoluting says the watch can answer calls over Bluetooth, though it cannot place them. The review also notes a new voice assistant, but one that is still limited in scope and currently works only in English, mainly for launching functions, setting alarms and starting workouts. That places it behind broader assistants on some rival platforms, but it still marks a useful first step for Coros.
For training, the watch is built around the same kind of data-heavy approach that has helped Coros win over endurance athletes. The Technoluting review says the watch includes optical heart-rate tracking, an ECG function, a pulse oximeter, a barometric altimeter, a compass, a temperature sensor and support for external sensors. It also praises the Coros app and the Training Hub web platform for their depth, while noting compatibility with services including Strava, TrainingPeaks, Relive, Apple Health and Google Health. Importantly, the ECG is described as a general health tool rather than a medical-grade diagnostic feature.
Battery life is another major selling point. Coros says the Pace 4 Pro can reach up to 60 hours of GPS use, while Technoluting says the company also claims up to 21 days in smartwatch mode and seven days with always-on display enabled. In its own testing, the review found the watch still had 20% remaining after nine days of mixed use, including nearly six hours of running. Pricing is less straightforward: Coros and other launch reports place the watch at $449, while Technoluting says it was listed in France from September 22 in black or white at $249, with some strap variants arriving later. That suggests market timing and local pricing may differ, but the broader positioning is clear: Coros is pitching the Pace 4 Pro as a lighter, more premium alternative to bulkier performance watches.
