Coros Pace 4 review: A top budget alternative to Garmin

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 · By Endurance Wire

The Coros Pace 4 successfully adds a vibrant AMOLED display without sacrificing the line's core strengths: lightweight design, fantastic battery life, and value. It retains the accurate dual-band GPS that sets it apart at this price, and that alone means it remains a solid alternative to Garmin's entry-level Forerunner. While the heart rate accuracy can be inconsistent during non-running workouts and the smart features remain basic, these are minor trade-offs. Considering the whole package, the Pace 4 is, as its predecessor was, the best value running watch on the market.
