Coros Launches $349 Nomad Watch With 22-Day Battery and Offline Maps

Coros has introduced the Nomad, a mid-range outdoor sports watch aimed at hikers, runners and multi-sport athletes who want extended battery life and on-device navigation without paying premium-tier prices. The 47.8-millimetre device carries a U.S. price of $349 (€369, £319) and is available immediately in three colours. The Nomad offers up to 22 days of everyday use or 50 hours of continuous all-systems GPS tracking, and 34 hours in dual-band mode. Hardware highlights include a 1.3-inch memory-in-pixel touch display protected by mineral glass, 5 ATM water-resistance, dual-noise-cancelling microphones and 32 GB of storage for music and detailed street and topographic maps that can be panned by touchscreen or crown. New software tools target outdoor use: ‘voice pins’ let wearers record location-linked audio notes during an activity, while an Adventure Journal feature stores pins, photos and waypoints for post-trip review in the Coros app. The watch also provides weather data on the watch face, fishing-specific sport modes and upgraded training-load analytics. By including offline maps—absent from Garmin’s similarly rugged Instinct 3—and undercutting that model by roughly $100–150, Coros is positioning the Nomad as a more affordable alternative for users who prioritise navigation and long battery life. Early reviewers from Tom’s Guide, Android Central and Presse-Citron report accurate GPS and heart-rate readings but note the absence of solar charging, NFC payments and an AMOLED screen.
