You don’t train like everyone else, so your watch shouldn’t feel like everyone else’s. Here are 8 fast, powerful ways to make your watch feel like it was made just for you.
1. Set it up your way.
With just two or three buttons, your COROS watch keeps things simple—but still gives you full control over how it works in real life.
Flip the dial for easier access when you're wearing gloves, mountain biking, or doing push-ups mid-workout. Change the scroll direction to match your movement. Set Auto-Lock to stay out of the way—or turn it off completely when you want uninterrupted access. Even how you unlock the watch is up to you: scroll or press and hold.
Here’s how to make it yours:
– Flip the dial:
Hold the Back Button → System → Settings → More Settings → Digital Dial → Dial location
– Change scroll direction:
Hold the Back Button → System → More Settings → Digital Dial → Dial Rotation
– Set Auto-Lock:
Hold the Back Button → System → Settings → More Settings → Auto Lock
2. See what matters, when it matters.
Set up to six data pages for each activity, with the exact metrics you care about: pace, heart rate, elevation, stride length, or anything else that drives your training. Use the COROS app to build your perfect layout and sync it instantly to your watch, even mid-workout.
Edit your data pages:
- COROS App: Profile Page → Select Device → Activity Settings
3. Make it personal.
Your watch face is the first thing you see before every workout, and dozens of time in between. So make it feel like yours.
Choose from a wide range of digital, analog, scenic, or animated styles. Want something more custom? Use your own photo as a background and place your widgets exactly where you want them.
To customize:
- Switch watch face:
Hold the Back Button → Watch Face
- Download a new watch face:
COROS app → Profile Page → Select Device → Watch Faces
4. Your sports. Your setup.
Not every sport can fit into a predefined box, that's the point. With Custom Activity Modes, you can build your own from the ground up, without having to scroll through dozens of preset options. Whether you're playing pickleball, ultimate-frisbee, or surfing, you decide what gets tracked and how.
Set your own data fields, choose the alerts you want, and name the activity whatever fits.
Create your own:

Custom Activity Mode:
COROS app → Profile Page → Select Device → Create Custom Activity
5. Set it so you don't forget it.
Set alerts for the things that matter: pace, cadence, heart rate, or even a mid-run fuel reminder. Custom Activity Alerts keep you on track without pulling you out of the moment.
Enable or adjust them at the start of your workout, or anytime mid-session from the Toolbox. No stopping. No guessing.
6. Only see what you actually use.
Not every stat or setting is relevant to your training, and that’s exactly why you can choose what shows up. Simplify your menus, hide what you don’t need, and keep the focus on what matters.
Edit your Daily Data, Toolbox, and Menus:
- COROS App:
Profile → Your Watch → Customization
Rearrange your Daily Data, Toolbox, and Workout Menus in seconds.
7. Name it once, find it fast.
Pairing accessories shouldn’t slow you down. Give each device a custom name, so whether it’s your indoor trainer, power meter, or heart rate monitor, you’ll always know exactly what accessories are connected.
8. Mix and match your metrics.
Train in miles. Measure temperature in Celsius. Use pounds for weight, but meters for elevation. With flexible unit settings, you’re no longer locked into one system.
Change units independently in your app or device settings, so your data looks and feels exactly the way you want it.
Customizing your COROS watch brings a more seamless and personal experience to your wrist, making it easier to train the way you want. From custom controls to personalized data and activity modes, these 8 tips help make your COROS watch work exactly the way you need it to.
