Garmin Forerunner 165 vs. Coros Pace 3: THIS Is The Best Entry-Level Sports Watch!

[@KnigthMare69]

For those who care about music, it’s important to point out that coros uses mp3 files transferes via cable, while the garmin uses that, but also Spotify, Amazon music, and more

Excellent comparison. I think the Garmin side by side looks more premium. And Garmin has nailed the GPS accuracy even without multi-band.

Thank you!🙂

AMOLED has some benefits but it's only suitable indoors and darker environments (it has to fight ambient light by increasing its brightness), and can't work always-on without destroying the battery and the display longevity. And it's also wasteful because it reloads the screen graphics many times every second. The Coros Pace 3's reflective display works like paper: the brighter it is around you, the clearer & easier the display is to read. And it's always usable as it doesn't switch off, and saves battery by only refreshing the screen when the displayed content needs to change.

I use mine mostly in the 1/3 brightness, at most 2/3 and even in the most sunny days, it’s easily readable

Excellent review. Thank you.

Good work 👍

[@kalvindaniel3918]

Do both sync with the Apple Fitness Rings?

[@fazgo77]

Coros, yes

[@btugrul]

Entry-level, for sure; Eliud Kipchoge wearing Coros Pace 3 says it all!

[@darsatdays749]

Yeah.. but there is something called sponsorship 😅

[@KnigthMare69]

Really says it, says that he wears what he’s being paid to wear 🙂

Pace 2

AMOLED is the future.

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

Most probably, yes :)

[@magicblock1748]

That's why Garmin battery life less than Coros, both are great depends user's demand

However outdoors it looses its benefits. My way is Coros, I like it doesn’t have to wake up and it has a night mode (I run in the evenings), which is a fantastic feature I use very often.

[@ViperIsMe.]

does coros 3 have pace lag ?

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

According to my experience, just the same as the Garmin watches as well, so only a bit and not significant
