Hey Matt, curious to hear more about what on the PACE series still needs refinement in the UI? Hopefully when all the details of the product are released we'll be able to change your opinion on half-baked versus a fully baked product 😉

plz share your thought bro

@@darianallberry - cannot adjust backlight brightness - requires a pod to get a decent response to real-time pace - a simple action to broadcast HR requires manual connection instead of being an automated function per workout. - cannot control music playback remotely from a smartphone (oh yeah... it's coming soon. whatever) - limited cross training workout profiles without created a user custom one. - strength workouts do not allow for weight or rep adjustments during a workout. In the Coros app you cannot post edit a workout either. - bluetooth on the coros hr band is not compatible on some exercise equipment. Whereas the Polar Verity Sense, I have yet to have a compatibility issue. - Coros watches do not have a quick method to stop a run without unlocking in a race situation. If you leave it unlocked, you can easily inadvertently trigger a pause or stop a workout. If you trigger a lap at the finish line and then unlock to stop the activity... you still cannot post edit activity to trim up the lap event. - Very few navigation tools exist, including on the recently released "adventure watch" Vertix 2S. Tools like: bearing navigation (useful for when you cannot map a route & transfer to the watch because of no cell service), cannot manage/remove waypoints from a watch (only from app), no waypoint or route management/organization (like folders), so to reiterate... zero offline routing capabilities, no live track option (oh wait... that is coming too), etc... Should I continue? So, this bike computer better have the capability to perform offline routing either from the coros app or on its own. At least allow it to have bearing navigation.

@@darianallberry All of Coros products need refinement: - no backlight brightness level adjustment - no remote music play controls (oh wait that is coming... whatever, even amazfit can do that... jeez) - no post edit of workouts or trimming - cannot edit sets / reps / weight during a strength workout or in post workout in the coros app - Even the "adventure watch" Vertix 2S lacks some need navigation tools like: bearing navigation for starters, which is useful because coros app doesn't allow for offline routing if needed (like in areas without cell signal) - no live tracking (oh wait that is coming too... LOL) - no waypoint or route management/organization (even something simple like folders) - cannot delete a waypoint from the device itself, only through the coros app and only if it has a data connection - Coros HR band has Bluetooth compatibility issues with some gym equipment - never had an issue with the Polar Verity Sense - HR broadcast is clunky (takes a lot steps) to implement prior to a workout. It also cannot be automated to for certain workout profiles like treadmill running or indoor rowing. - Because it is necessary to use the lock feature on the watch during activities (because it is far too easy to inadvertently stop an activity) it is difficult during a race to stop the activity right a crossing the finish line. You could mark it with a lap, but... again, you cannot post edit an activity... like trimming up to the lap mark. So make sure that bike computer can get some offline routing (like when out of cell coverage) or at the very least... allow for bearing navigation to be implemented. These devices are typically in remote locations (like ultra races, etc) where data is available many times (especially in the western US region) so make it work with pre-downloaded maps and allow for routing and navigation offline.

Let's see if I can add our perspective on the points here, which at large I do agree that some of the features you've suggested are valuable and we are planning on adding as you've noted. I would also add many of these are new features that require development rather than UI refinements, which are typically much quicker to fix! And while it's not an excuse, it is a reality that we have limited development resources and that in an ideal world we would have many of these already available but have to choose our priorities! no backlight brightness level adjustment - We do not plan to add brightness level adjustments for now as our target athlete who uses the product is outdoor oriented where MIP screens are most visible, and we also have the option for Night Mode to solve the problem of outdoor workouts at night. no remote music play controls (oh wait that is coming... whatever, even amazfit can do that... jeez) - This will be added before the end of 2024. no post edit of workouts or trimming - I agree this is valuable to users but there are ways to trim externally on Strava, FIT File Tools, and other sites which is why it is on our roadmap but not yet developed. cannot edit sets / reps / weight during a strength workout or in post workout in the coros app - Response above also answers this question Even the "adventure watch" Vertix 2S lacks some need navigation tools like: bearing navigation for starters, which is useful because coros app doesn't allow for offline routing if needed (like in areas without cell signal) - A good suggestion that I personally have not seen until now, we do allow for different navigation settings while following a course but can suggest a bearing setting for times like you have mentioned when you want to know where the final destination is as your primary location. no live tracking (oh wait that is coming too... LOL) - This is coming very soon (in the next month) no waypoint or route management/organization (even something simple like folders) - Both of these are possible on the COROS app which we think is a better interface to manage waypoints and routes, then sync them to your watch before you go out for a run/ride/trip. cannot delete a waypoint from the device itself, only through the coros app and only if it has a data connection - In what scenario would you want to delete a waypoint mid-activity? Happy to look into this one! Coros HR band has Bluetooth compatibility issues with some gym equipment - never had an issue with the Polar Verity Sense - The COROS HR Monitor broadcasts to any product that accepts HR data via BLE so if you're experiencing issues we'd be happy to troubleshoot as we've tested it seamlessly with many devices! HR broadcast is clunky (takes a lot steps) to implement prior to a workout. It also cannot be automated to for certain workout profiles like treadmill running or indoor rowing. - To use Broadcast HR all that's needed is to hold the back button to access the toolbox, then select Broadcast HR which should be two simple steps, but I do see value in automating it for specific activity modes from the watch. Because it is necessary to use the lock feature on the watch during activities (because it is far too easy to inadvertently stop an activity) it is difficult during a race to stop the activity right a crossing the finish line. You could mark it with a lap, but... again, you cannot post edit an activity... like trimming up to the lap mark. - We are working on a custom lock feature but in the meantime if you switch the dial/button orientation to face towards the elbow rather than towards the wrist, this typically solves most all accidental presses. So make sure that bike computer can get some offline routing (like when out of cell coverage) or at the very least... allow for bearing navigation to be implemented. - Can't disclose any further details about DURA now, but more to come!

Dam who put their finger in your cornflakes, it will be a great bike computer COROS make good shit

Oh yeeeees been waiting for this, sign me up!

Your comment took you longer than the video. And you're only complaining

Yes.

Yep
