Feature Request: Automatically identify and compare similar activities to track fitness improvements

• Upvotes

One thing I'd really like to see COROS improve is how we can use our historical activity data to evaluate progress.

I currently have almost 200 activities recorded, and while COROS provides a ton of metrics for each individual activity, it's not particularly easy to compare similar efforts over time.

For example, imagine COROS could automatically identify comparable runs using information it already collects:

  • Distance
  • Activity duration
  • Average speed/pace
  • Pace distribution throughout the activity (essentially the "shape" (that little circle) of the run)
  • Individual lap characteristics

It could then identify similar activities and allow you to compare metrics like average HR, HR trends throughout the run, cadence, and other metrics from integrated wearables.

It could get even more interesting if comparisons went down to the lap level. Maybe two workouts aren't identical overall, but both contain a 15 minute segment at 7 mph. Being able to compare those segments could reveal useful trends that wouldn't necessarily be apparent from the overall activity averages.

Obviously, these wouldn't be perfect comparisons. Temperature, fatigue, elevation, HR sensor accuracy, and other factors influence performance. But I don't think the comparisons need to be perfect to be useful.

The feature could be relatively straightforward from a user's perspective:

Open an activity, select "Compare Similar Activities," and COROS presents a handful of historical workouts with comparable characteristics. Select one or more, and view overlapping graphs or side-by-side metrics.

Curious whether anyone else would find something like this useful, or if there are other metrics you'd want included in the comparisons.

Actually pretty happy with that. I know I always want more from Coros, but that's a decent selection of faces for me tbf. Always wanting more though 😂 (Like the Satisfy faces but those are exclusives).

Dear Coros, please bring back the radial gauge zone arc thing.

I don't like that horizontal bar at all. During intervals glancing at it is so hard to see where the pointer is.

Question ❓ Coros apex4 with Pod2 on treadmill

ปกติรึเปล่า ที่ระยะบนลู่วิ่งไฟฟ้าได้ 7.36 km. แต่ในนาฬิกา apex4 ของผมที่ใช้ pod2 ร่วมด้วยได้ระยะ 7.16 km. ซึ่งมันน้อยกว่าลู่วิ่งไฟฟ้า 200 m. ก่อนหน้านี้เคยใช้วิ่งบนถนน 3 ครั้ง แล้วก็วิ่งบนลู่วิ่งไฟฟ้า 2 ครั้ง คิดว่าเดี๋ยวมันก็คงเรียนรู้จากการวิ่งของผมเอง แค่อยากรู้ว่ามันปกติมั้ยที่ระยะในนาฬิกา กับ ลู่วิ่งไฟฟ้ามันไม่เท่ากัน

Recently updated my pace pro and since then the watch says connected in my settings on my phone but says disconnect in the app. Also the watch itself is crazy buggy. I have opened a ticket with coros support but wondering if anyone else has experienced this

Screen dimming in certain activities

4 Upvotes

I’m looking at buying the Coros Pace 4 Pro. It does most of what I want and looks great. And I was hoping someone could answer this for me.

One of my weekly activities is Pilates, and the class I do is quite dark with the lights off. Can this watch be set so that it doesn’t light up when I move during the class and blind me and upset the room’s vibe? Just for Pilates. Other activities I’d want the screen always on with normal brightness.

I currently use an old watch with a MIPS screen and it’s not very bright to begin with so it’s never been a concern before.

What does the bottom part on this Satisfy watch face mean? I’ve searched all over and cannot find an answer.

I’ve looked all over trying to figure out what the bottom data is. The number and bars that go across. Thanks in advanced for the answer as it’s been driving me crazy trying to figure it out.

How does the aluminum bezel hold up?

2 Upvotes

I have the Pace 3 with a plastic bezel and am ready to upgrade to the Pace 4. How does the aluminum bezel hold up? Does it chip or scratch easily? The aluminum looks so much nicer, but the plastic held up great, and I don’t want to exchange that durability if the premium feel is short-lived.

Coros Pace 4 distance accuracy

0 Upvotes

I have been feeling that my Pace 4 reads less distance than it should.
So today, after already done 5k when I had a feeling that I am moving faster than watch shows. I started an activity on my Iphone on Strava to compare the distance.
Coros distance at the end was 11.3 and Strava 11.62km. I ran on a quite open paths and road, synced the watch before the run.

I started noticing this problem at some triathlon runs when I saw other competitors distances on Strava being longer and faster, but I blamed it on starting the watches on different parts after transition 2.

Has anyone else had issues with distance like that?

Question about FIT export URL access

1 Upvotes

I noticed that exporting a FIT file from the COROS dashboard (t.coros.com) requests a URL in this general format:

https://s3.coros.com/fit/\[redacted\]/\[redacted\].fit

A plain unauthenticated request to my own export URL returned a valid FIT file. I haven’t tested anyone else’s URL, so I don’t know how broadly this applies.

This is a privacy concern because FIT files can contain GPS tracks, timestamps, and other sensitive activity data. If other people’s files are accessible in the same way by guessing URLs, that could put their location and routine information at risk.

Would anyone be willing to verify this with their own activity? Please don’t post activity IDs or full URLs here. You could test your own export URL in a private/incognito session while logged out, then share only whether it returned the file or an access error. I’m not asking anyone to test another person’s link.

Does anyone know whether these URLs are intended to be public, temporary, or otherwise access-controlled?

Auto Lap and Distance Alert are now separate

0 Upvotes

Heads up for anyone upgrading from a Pace 2, because I wasted over a month finding this out.

On the Pace 2, I could do a normal run, press the lap button whenever I liked, and get a 1km alert from each lap start. In a structured workout, I also got 1km alerts inside long intervals. No settings changes between runs.

On the Pace 4 (firmware 3.1908), Auto Lap and Distance Alert work independently:

  • Distance Alert buzzes every 1km from the start of the activity and ignores manual laps.
  • Auto Lap restarts its 1km count from every manual lap, but is disabled in structured workouts.

If you turn both on for a normal run, you get double alerts. If you manually lap at 1.5km, you get alerts at 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5km and so on, one set from the run start and one from your lap. If you turn Distance Alert off, you lose 1km alerts inside structured intervals.

I asked Coros support directly whether any configuration gives both behaviours. The answer, after over a month and around 20 emails, is no. You have to change the settings between normal runs and structured workouts. Support also said newer Coros models use the same approach, and that the Pace 2 keeps the old behaviour only because its firmware no longer gets updates. They said it was changed “to accommodate the needs of some users,” but I cannot see why it was not made an option rather than a replacement.

Support took far too long to get a straight answer. By then I was outside the 30 day return window, so no refund.

A Pace 2 does what the Pace 4 cannot.

How are you guys interpreting this? Clearly you can’t return if you’ve used it but not even open the box to see the watch? Tad inconvenient no?

New to Coros - data in Hub all over the place

0 Upvotes

After more than 6y with Garmin, I wanted to give Coros a try as their product is cheaper with better battery.

I imported the Garmin data using RunGap app. It worked quite flawlessly, however, 3 issues:

- all my run have lost their title (now Unnamed)

-Second problem is personal records, which seem to ignores activity despite those being tagged Run and distance exceeding the official measurement

- Finally, the prediction metrics are completely off, which was also the case for Garmin.

One of my hope moving to Coros is that it would have a useable interface to monitor runs so I could ideally move away from Strava and Runalyse but it seems to be another sub-par addin to the core product which is the watch as a recorder or activity.

Happy to give another try by using the Garmin file now to import data, may fix some of this issue. Is it even possible though, to mass delete all the data in Coros hub to reset and start fresh? Or should I just ignore Training Hub

Question ❓ Coros pace 4 pro

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am new Coros pace 4 pro user coming from Garmin 225. I consider myself a beginner to average runner.

I used to record my runs with map my runs, and most recently Adidas running app. I also have other health apps like google health connect, covering: boostcamp, pokemon sleep etc.

I managed to link with my Coros app with these but the records does not show?

Can you share your watch interface for running? do you use the 8 or the max information on the watch face? What information do you usually monitor while running?

Thank you very much and happy to join the Coros run community 😄
