COROS Launch Repair and Exchange Program
Sports tech challenger brand COROS has introduced a new repair and exchange program in the United States and Europe, with the UK set to follow.
The program targets owners of COROS PACE 3, PACE Pro, APEX 2, APEX 2 Pro, VERTIX 2S, and DURA models. Customers can submit an online replacement/repair request, receive a prepaid return label, and select a refurbished replacement device.
Repair fees range from $59 to $89 for battery replacements and $79 to $119 for screen, dial, or button repairs, which cover issues such as cracks, scratches, and backlight malfunctions. Refurbished devices come with a one-year warranty.

Summary
Kudos to COROS for this move.
It’s clear that you won’t get your original device repaired and returned—instead, you’ll receive someone else’s refurbished unit. That’s actually a great approach, as it means faster turnaround, and your old device will eventually be repaired and sent to someone else. Seems pretty eco-friendly to me, and I wish companies like Apple and Garmin offered battery replacements at these prices.
Since you’re getting a different device back, the company’s claim that refurbished units are returned in “like new” condition seems plausible. There’s probably a bit of marketing spin in the claim that local repairs aren’t viable due to quality issues—the reality is more likely that there just isn’t enough demand for a large-scale service. It’s simply cheaper to handle everything in China.
That said, the company’s commitment to providing software updates for over five years is a big plus and should help extend the overall lifespan of your watch.

Nice, a when you see that they bring new features to their watches as long as the hardware can take it. So you really can use a watch multiple years…..(i am looking at you Garmin).
