The New York Marathon winner wasn’t wearing a fancy Garmin, but something much cheaper

Andreas Almgren, the winner of the New York City Marathon, completed the grueling 26.2-mile race in a time of 2:06:01. Despite his impressive feat, what caught my attention was the watch he was wearing - the Coros Pace 4. This budget-friendly running watch has proven that athletes don't need to break the bank to find a reliable and high-performing device.

The Coros Pace 4, priced at $249 USD / £229 UK / AU$479.95, offers top-notch performance and battery life, making it an ideal choice for long runs and training. In comparison to more expensive options like the Garmin Forerunner 55 or Apple Watch Ultra 4, the Coros Pace 4 delivers similar features at a much lower cost.
