COROS Teases the PACE 4: AMOLED Display and Voice Notes Coming to the Lightweight Favorite
COROS has officially signaled a major update to its acclaimed PACE series, confirming that the COROS PACE 4 will debut on December 8.
Known for balancing performance with aggressive pricing, COROS describes this new model as the “fastest, brightest, and most intuitive” PACE entry to date. For athletes and data geeks alike, the PACE 4 appears to be a significant hardware overhaul rather than a simple refresh.
The Headlines: AMOLED and Ultralight Build
The most visible change coming to the PACE 4 is the switch to a vivid AMOLED touchscreen. This marks a significant shift in display quality for the series, aiming to provide a brighter, more responsive visual experience compared to the memory-in-pixel displays of previous generations.
Despite the screen upgrade, COROS has maintained its signature ultralight form factor. The PACE 4 weighs in at just 32 grams when paired with the nylon band, keeping it competitive for runners who want a watch that “disappears” on the wrist.
Under the Hood: Sensors and Smarts
Beyond the exterior, COROS is rolling out several internal performance upgrades designed for runners at every level:
- GPS & Navigation: The device features refined satellite performance designed for quicker, more accurate GPS locking—crucial for city runners dealing with signal multipath.
- Biometrics: Users can expect improved heart rate accuracy, likely addressing one of the few critiques of mid-range wearables.
- Battery Life: True to brand reputation, the PACE 4 boasts extended battery performance to handle longer training sessions.
New Feature: Voice Notes
Interestingly, COROS is adding audio utility to the wrist. The PACE 4 will introduce all-new voice capabilities, specifically allowing athletes to record notes hands-free during workouts. This is a smart addition for coaches and athletes who want to log subjective feelings or ideas mid-run without fumbling with a phone.
Availability
Full specifications and product availability will be revealed when the watch officially launches on December 8.
