255 or Pace 2

How do you all feel about the Forerunner 255 vs Coros Pace 2?

I came from an Apple Watch in search of better battery life. I picked up a Forerunner 255 recently and I’m getting 4-5 days out of it wearing 24/7 with daily workouts (20-30 weekly running miles). I feel like I should be getting at least a week out of it. Pretty unimpressed so far with the battery life.

Other than battery it seems good. Tracks runs well. Plenty of data to look at, but I’m at 18% battery on Thursday after charging to 100% on Sunday.

I ask this with the understanding that the Coros is also half the price of the Garmin.

    I’ve been enjoying F7X SS since the end of January. And I’m pretty happy with it. I meant to tell the OP that there are other good cheap options albeit not as cheap as Pace 2.

    If battery life is what you're after go for the Pace 2. Actually, 255 has a pretty good battery life compared to previous generations of forerunner watches.

    I agree. I had FR745 before that, and 645 before 745. Each one had better battery life than the previous one. I'm really satisfied with 255 in this respect. I'm getting several hours of dual-frequency dual-system GNSS-tracked activity from a charge. I'm also using one second recording and notifications from a phone. I do a 5-6 runs a week, the longest one of  up to 2h. The watch lasts almost a week. What's most important, I'm sure that when I start a run with quite low level of battery I can be sure it's enough to complete it with some energy left.
