History
On May 15, 2018, COROS launched its first GPS watch - The PACE Multisport GPS Watch, which had a built-in first-of-its-kind dedicated 'Track Mode' designed for track runners to get accurate pace, distance, and time data – where GPS tracking had originally failed.[3][4][5][6]
Later that year, the company released two new watches, the APEX Premium Multisport Watch, in two sizes; 42mm, 46mm.[7][8][9][10][11]
In 2020, COROS launched PACE 2 - the lightest GPS watch at that moment - and announced partnerships with Eliud Kipchoge, Emma Coburn and Des Linden.[12]
Operations
COROS' main operations are within mainland China. Its R&D, Manufacturing and HRM are done by its HQ in Shenzhen, mainland China. The company's other branches in North America and Netherlands B.V which serves the European Economic Area (EEA) are just in charge of global marketing outside of mainland China.
