Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your COROS PACE 2 Sport Watch:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the watch and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For silicone bands, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the charging contacts on the back of the watch are clean and dry.
• Charging: Always use the original COROS charging cable. Avoid exposing the charging contacts to corrosive liquids or extreme temperatures.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Water Resistance: The watch is rated for 5 ATM water resistance, suitable for surface water activities like swimming. It is not recommended for diving or high-pressure water activities.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your COROS PACE 2, try the following steps:

• Watch Not Responding: Try a soft reset by holding down the Digital Dial for approximately 15 seconds until the COROS logo appears.
• GPS Signal Issues: Ensure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky. Syncing the watch with the COROS app regularly can help update GPS satellite data for faster acquisition.
• Heart Rate Inaccuracy: Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about one finger-width above the wrist bone. Clean the optical sensor regularly. For high-intensity interval training, an external chest strap (sold separately) may provide more accurate readings.
• Syncing Problems: Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the watch. Ensure the COROS app is up to date. Try restarting both your phone and the watch.
• Battery Draining Quickly: Review your watch settings for features that consume more power (e.g., always-on display, frequent notifications, continuous GPS usage). Reduce these if not essential.

For persistent issues, refer to the official COROS support website or contact customer service.
