COROS just released its final big update for 2025. This month, COROS is bringing three major features to your wrist: phone music control, enhanced lap data, and active movement reminders.
Whether you want to skip songs during a run or dive deeper into your workout stats, this update is designed to help you perform at your best.
1. Control Your Phone’s Music from Your Wrist
We have all been there. You are running up a hill, a slow song comes on, and you have to dig for your phone to skip it.
Now, you don’t have to. The new Audio Control feature lets you manage your phone’s music directly from your watch.
- Skip songs if you’re not feeling the beat.
- Adjust the volume without stopping your workout.
- Play or pause your favorite podcasts or Spotify playlists.
It is simple, fast, and keeps you from focusing on the road ahead.
Pro Tip: To access this quickly, long-press the Back button to open your Toolbox, then scroll to the Media Control widget. If you are using a PACE 4 or APEX 4, you can even use the touchscreen or Action Button for faster access.
2. Cleaner Lap Data with New Insights
When you are doing track laps or hill repeats, you need to see your stats instantly. COROS has completely redesigned the Lap Data screen to be more useful and readable.
The text is larger and the layout is simple, so you can see your performance without squinting. New improvements include:
- Undo Laps: Accidental lap press? You can now undo a manual lap by pressing the Back button before the screen times out.
- Heart Rate Focus: For automatic distance laps, Lap HR now replaces lap pace, giving you better insight into your effort level.
- Total Time: You can now see your Total Activity Time directly on the lap screen.
Pro Tip: The lap screen now stays visible for a few extra seconds, giving you more time to review your last rep before it switches back to your main data page.
3. Helpful Reminders to Stand and Stretch
Sitting at a desk all day can make your muscles feel tight. This isn’t good for your next workout and your overall health.
COROS added Stand and Stretch Reminders to help you stay loose. Your watch will give you a slight buzz to remind you to get up throughout the day. These quick breaks help you:
- Stay flexible and ready for your next run.
- Improve your blood flow during long work hours.
- Feel less stiff at the end of the day.
