Overview

  • The Nomad is now available to order for $349 in three colors on Coros' site, with U.S. listings also live on Amazon.
  • On-watch offline street and topo maps include road and trail names with turn-by-turn guidance, powered by 32GB of storage and a 1.3-inch MIP touchscreen.
  • Dual microphones enable ‘voice pins’ that auto-transcribe and geo-tag notes, while photos attach to routes and 3D summaries appear in the updated Coros app.
  • Eight fishing modes add tools like catch logs, cast counting, tide and moon data, and a location-lock alert to mark and return to productive spots.
  • Coros advertises 22 days of typical battery life plus 50 hours (all-systems GNSS) or 34 hours (dual-frequency), and initial tests report generally solid GPS and heart-rate accuracy with one noted GPS warp anomaly.
