Best praise vs top criticism for Coros Pace 3
“all of those would cover you - in fact you could ad d the amazfit active 2 too. The FR165 and the Pace 3 are going to give you most in terms of running dynamic features and training metrics and analytics with the greatest level of accuracyy (huawei and amazfit can be a bit hit and miss on this side) - however FR165 gives you more training features as along with downloadable plans (can also create your own) there is the garmin coach ( think C25K program but can do 5, 10 & half marathon - and is adaptive to activity, missed sessions, and health metrics) and has garmin DSW (daily suggested workout - which is also adaptive) which can be further focused with race glance (if you plan to run events can load it into garmin system and it will adjust DSW to adjust the training to try and get you to peak for that event) and includes fantastic features like pace pro (per recent 5k runner post what most coros user miss the most if swapping from garmin to coros and are runners). this may help: [https://youtu.be/UNRljrBvQvM?si=A8iMwbX3Y9mkKkKR](https://youtu.be/UNRljrBvQvM?si=A8iMwbX3Y9mkKkKR) (note that FR165 has a lot of the features of the FR265 but not all of them - but does include the ones I mentioned - garmin website allows you to compare - but will give you a decent idea of the strengths of each platform). And maybe this one garmin vs apple: [https://youtu.be/v0TzSWzmKR8?si=bGBtxxeAOneXoDeo](https://youtu.be/v0TzSWzmKR8?si=bGBtxxeAOneXoDeo) (ignore the wear os watches as not an option for iPhone).”
