The Coros Pace 4 Jakob Edition Makes Every Run Feel Elite

If you’ve ever watched Jakob Ingebrigtsen run, you know the feeling. It’s that mixture of awe and mild personal shame as a double Olympic gold medalist makes 1,500 meters look like a casual Tuesday morning run. Now, Coros is bottling that energy into something the rest of us can actually strap to our wrists and pretend we’re also jet-powered: the Pace 4 Jakob Ingebrigtsen Edition.The SpecsLet’s start with the look, because it’s gorgeous. The watch is gold and black, which is a direct nod to Ingebrigtsen’s Olympic medals—when you’ve won as much gold as this guy has, you get to make everything gold-themed. The signature band features “FEARLESS” branding, which is either deeply motivating or a gentle roast of my 9-minute mile pace. But the real showstopper is the transparent dial on the watch that’s exclusive to this edition. It shows off a gold metal pin securing the dial to the body. As Coros puts it, it’s a symbolic nod to Ingebrigtsen’s openness and authenticity, or “just being true to yourself.” The custom watch face features track-inspired geometry stamped with a 03:25 that signifies Ingebrigtsen’s pursuit of becoming the fastest 1,500m runner in history, frozen in time on your wrist.Under the hood, this thing is a gem. A 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, dual-frequency satellite chipset, upgraded optical heart rate sensor, and an aluminum bezel with PVD-coated hardware built to survive the brutal training conditions.The Special Edition TouchesThe packaging is a whole thing all on its own. It features a custom-designed box with insert cards detailing Ingebrigtsen’s training journey and the collab process with the brand. It’s as close as we runners will ever get to opening a Topps package with our heroes inside.Coros CEO Lewis Wu called working with Ingebrigtsen “incredible insight into the mindset of a champion who views every second and every heartbeat as a data point for improvement.” That’s also a fantastic description of the Pace 4 itself. It’s a watch built to turn your every metric into actionable data to get you to your next PB.The Coros Pace 4 Ingebrigtsen Edition comes in at $289 USD, and the armband heart rate monitor is available separately for $89. For a limited-edition collaboration with one of the greatest middle-distance runners alive, that’s pretty dang reasonable, especially since it’s the closest most of us will ever get to running like Jakob Ingebrigtsen.Fearless? Maybe not. But at least we’ll look the part.Buy Jakob WatchBuy Jakob HRMRead Coros Pace 4 ReviewCat Bowen, senior editor of commerce; reviews, is a seasoned runner with more than 20 years of distance running experience, including dozens of marathons, half marathons, and even a few ultra marathons.
