Does anyone have experience with coros? Seemingly have good reviews. Currently, I'd just be using it for walking, cycling and sleep tracking. I'm rehabbing a disc herniation, but I'm close to being able to start running again. I thought I'd just grab a FR55, but for a few more bucks, the coros looks better.

What say you?

I’ve heard good things and would consider one though Garmin is stepping up their game now with the recent Forerunner 165 release. Only thing with Coros is I’ve heard they do some sketchy stuff with data? I honestly haven’t read up on it, maybe someone else can chime in.

So I ended up getting one. Initial impressions, insanely light. I'm learning the interface, but I like the watch, the app, and website analytic layout so far.

One thing I'm not digging is I'm not getting text notifications. Allegedly there's some issues, group messages don't work, rcs messages don't work, seems kind of silly. They will likely be addressing this with new rcs requirements coming down.

I'll keep y'all posted, but seems like fantastic value at $229

Loving this watch so far. Super light haven't charged it in a week and it's still at 45%. Set up and customization is nice. Easy to add workouts. The band is a standard 22mm watch band, so it's was easy to change it out.

Tracking data looks great compared to my wahoo on the bike and Strava as well.

I like that it's a fitness watch first. I have notifications for text, teams, and phone that are only active when I'm not working out. You can't reply through the watch, but sometimes it's good to know when I get a teams message while I'm out walking the dogs during the day.
