COROS has launched the Pace 4 Pro at GBP 389 / USD 449. It is the best-built watch in the Pace line: a titanium bezel, sapphire glass, and the largest, brightest screen COROS has made, a 1.47-inch AMOLED running at an impressive 3,500 nits. As hardware, it’s hard to argue with how good it is. What it does to the Pace line-up is another matter.
The ‘Pro’ here is the familiar formula. Across most brands, a Pro model is the standard watch with better materials and/or one better capability, and that is what this is: titanium replaces polymer, sapphire replaces mineral glass, the screen grows and brightens, and the notable new part appears to be a new multi-channel optical heart-rate sensor. The dual-frequency GNSS, offline maps, storage, and sport profiles carry over.
The Pace 4 Pro answers a question few Coros buyers will ask. These are people who could afford a Garmin but decided the extra money wasn’t worth it. At £229, it was an easy call. At £389, COROS changes the maths. The basic spec holds up on paper: a quality screen, good materials, solid battery. But Garmin’s edge has always been far more than the spec sheet; it’s the ecosystem, the payments, the app store, the training depth. Priced this close to Garmin for better hardware that will only be worn during sport, they start to matter, and COROS loses that argument.
As with the rest of the Pace line, it has no NFC contactless payment, no streaming music, and Bluetooth-only sensor support. A review will follow soon, but for now, full specifications, the battery table and the feature list are on our COROS Pace 4 Pro specifications page.
Quick answers
What is new on the Coros Pace 4 Pro?
A titanium bezel, sapphire glass, a larger 1.47-inch 3,500-nit AMOLED, doubled RAM and a new optical heart-rate sensor over the standard Pace 4, at GBP 389 / USD 449.
Is the Pace 4 Pro a successor to the Pace 4?
Not exactly. It sits above the Pace 4 and takes the Pace Pro’s maps-and-AMOLED slot, so the Pace family now has three tiers rather than the Pro replacing the cheaper models.
Which Coros Pace watch should I buy?
All three now offer offline maps and an AMOLED screen, so the choice comes down to how much a titanium build, a bigger, brighter screen and more battery are worth over the two cheaper models.
