A good entry-level watch from Coros. Not the pure runners' watch it appeared to be on the surface with plenty of cycling and cross training options available but lacking slightly in the software department.

While the weight of your GPS smartwatch probably hasn’t been a concern in the past, this one from Coros claims to be the lightest on the market. 

Coros claims, when paired with the nylon band, that this watch weighs in at 29g (my model, with the heavier rubber band weighed in at 37g). It feels light on the wrist, comes with a huge range of sports and apps pre-loaded and is a functional watch.
