I wore Coros and Garmin's sub-$300 sports watches - both are excellent, but one lasts longer
· By Endurance Wire
Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Smartwatches used to cater to larger wrists — especially rugged models. Today, however, there are a lot more options. Garmin and Coros are two brands with compelling lightweight sports watches with brilliant AMOLED displays, heart rate sensors, powerful smartphone companion applications, and advanced training metrics. Unlike traditional smartwatches from Apple, Google, and Samsung, the Garmin Forerunner 170 and Coros Pace 4 have more than twice the battery life of a standard smartwatch — requiring a charge about once a week.
