The Garmin Forerunner 970 is the best sports watch on the market, in my opinion, while the Coros Pace 4 is the best value. They’re probably my two favorite watches overall, and I’ve been wearing both of them since I started testing the Pace 4 ahead of its launch.

That period included my training leading up to, and then running, the Brighton 10K on the south coast of England, where both watches impressed for the accuracy of their distance and pace tracking.

I’ve worn the Garmin Forerunner 970 and the Coros Pace 4 for two weeks now to compare their features and see if the Forerunner 970 is worth the extra you pay for it — it’s $500 more than the Pace 4, but it does have a lot of extra features.
