Thanks to enhanced sensor hardware and smart algorithms, the POD 2 delivers improved Instant Pace, distance accuracy, and consistency where GPS may falter. It introduces “Effort Pace,” a new metric that gives you a more accurate picture of your actual effort, factoring in terrain, temperature, and more, so you can train smarter, not just harder. The POD 2 even measures ambient temperature, offering deeper insight into how your body performs in different environments.

With a robust battery life of 28 hours of active use and a charging dock that holds up to five full charges, the POD 2 is ready to go whenever you are. It's packed with sensors like a barometric altimeter, thermometer, compass, and gyroscope, all in a design that weighs just 5.6g. Weatherproof and water-resistant up to 30m, this sleek, unobtrusive device can handle the elements, whether you're racing in the rain or training in the heat.

From gait analysis to environmental feedback, the COROS POD 2 helps you take a complete, data-driven approach to running. It’s more than just a foot pod, it’s your new secret weapon for unlocking peak performance.

The COROS POD 2 uses a combination of sensors, including an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and barometric altimeter, to gather data directly from your foot or body movements. This positioning allows for much more accurate pace, distance, and effort tracking than GPS alone. Its smart software adapts based on where it’s worn and instantly adjusts the data to reflect real-world running conditions.

Effort Pace is a standout feature, combining multiple inputs such as terrain and temperature to give a live readout of how hard you're really working. This makes it ideal for runners who want to manage energy output, train efficiently, and improve over time without being misled by terrain-influenced speed readings.
