I’ve tested the Garmin Forerunner 570 vs Coros Pace 4 Pro — which should you buy?

In a side-by-side comparison of the Garmin Forerunner 570 and Coros Pace 4 Pro, both watches offer an impressive range of sports tracking capabilities, including running, cycling, and swimming, with detailed statistics provided for these main activities. The Garmin Forerunner 570, however, boasts superior training analysis features, such as the Training Readiness score, which consolidates various data points into an overall score to guide training decisions for each day.

Additionally, the Forerunner 570 excels in displaying this analysis in an engaging and straightforward manner. On the other hand, the Coros Pace 4 Pro also provides valuable insights into training, such as overall training load, VO2 max estimates, race predictions, and a recovery advisor. Although these features are present on the Coros, the Garmin's Training Readiness score provides a more comprehensive and user-friendly approach to training guidance.

Both devices offer GPS and heart rate tracking with high accuracy, but the Garmin Forerunner 570 stands out in the training analysis department, making it a key competitor to Garmin's own Forerunner line-up, particularly the Forerunner 570.
