- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the battery life (described as lasting weeks), customizable screens, and feature depth. One note flags a learning curve when switching from Garmin, but that host warmed to it over time.

Most trusted item. Hardly ever worry about it. Literally weeks between even checking battery life because it sustains for so long.

This watch can do everything you need it to and about 5000 other things you don't. Huge battery life and amazing features, all for a very competitive price compared to other brands. Coros is my go to for activity tracking.

While it takes getting used to switching from Garmin to Coros, the Coros is great for an affordable replacement watch. I like that it will tell me elevation (whereas I never figured that out on my Garmin) and that the screens are uber customizable. The battery life is fantastic and I like it more and more each day.
