The COROS PACE 4 Pro arrives as an update to the AMOLED series at COROS, with a “4” upgrade in 2026 after the PACE Pro (2024) and the PACE 4 (2025). It targets the Garmin Forerunner 970 directly, as well as the Race 2, the Vantage V3 and the Cheetah 2 Pro, positioning itself as a GPS watch designed for running and training.
Visually, the PACE 4 Pro takes on a “fairly classic” format with a width of 47.6 mm and a thickness of 11.8 mm. Its design moves closer to the Forerunner 970 with a flat front face bordered by a titanium bezel, with colour contrasts along the side. Screen wake-up mainly highlights the move to a larger display surface.
The display sits at the heart of the update: the watch now has a size of 37.5 mm (compared with 33 on the PACE Pro) and it claims 3500 nits. The text states that it’s the brightest AMOLED screen tested so far, with brightness adjustable across 3 levels. The screen is covered by sapphire glass and is rated as water-resistant to 50 m.
On battery life, the PACE 4 Pro offers GPS modes limited to two choices: multi GNSS and dual-frequency multi GNSS; the “GPS only” mode no longer exists. It is also indicated that an automatic mode combines the two depending on signal quality. The stated battery life exceeds that of the Forerunner 970, with 26 h in GPS only for the Garmin reference.
The watch also includes connected and audio recording features, with a microphone and a speaker. It is specified that the microphone can be used to record audio notes during an activity, with georeferencing as a POI, and then to record voice notes after training to log RPE. The sensor list includes dual-frequency GNSS, optical heart rate with blood oxygenation, and ECG electrodes.
