Coros Pace Pro as a Bike Computer | Handlebar Mount & Phone Screen Extension Tested

Do you really need a dedicated bike computer if you already own a Coros Pace Pro? I tested two budget-friendly alternatives — mounting the watch directly to your handlebars using a Garmin/Tusita QuickFit quarter-turn adapter, and using your phone to mirror and extend your watch screen with turn-by-turn navigation. I also measure the 20mm, 22mm, and 26mm band widths so you know exactly whether your watch will fit before you buy anything. The honest verdict? It works — but it's not perfect. The Coros Pace Pro lacks a dedicated cycling mode, so the screen kept dimming mid-ride, and polarized sunglasses made it even harder to read on the go. If you're serious about navigation on the bike, a dedicated computer is still the better call. But if you're trying to avoid spending extra money, this setup gets the job done. ⌚ Handlebar Mount — Garmin/Tusita QuickFit quarter-turn adapter tested 📱 Phone Screen Extension — Turn-by-turn directions without a bike computer 📏 Tusita Width Guide — 20mm, 22mm & 26mm measured so your watch fits 🔆 Screen Dimming — The biggest downside of using the Pace Pro on the bike 🕶️ Polarized Sunglasses Problem — Harder to read than you'd expect 💻 Should You Buy a Bike Computer Instead? — Honest take at the end
