What is the COROS Extender Feature

The Extender feature allows your watch and the COROS App to sync and work together during activity; displaying the information collected by the watch in real-time on your smart device and enhancing your overall training experience.

The benefits of the Extender Feature

Whether you are on the treadmill or the bike trainer, use the Extender feature to better see your heart rate readings more easily. You can also view maps on a larger screen on your smart device to help with navigation during your trail runs, hikes and other outdoor sports.

How to set this up on your watch and mobile

Using the Extender feature couldn't be easier. To pair your smartwatch and smart device at the onset of activity, simply open the app and look for the Extender button on the top left of your screen (see image below). Tap on this button to see your current activity data displayed to you in real-time.

Which feature we recommend using with the Extender

We all know that one of the limitations of navigating with a smartwatch is the smaller size of the map on screen. However, with the Extender feature your can magnify the view making it much easier to navigate - especially useful if you are hiking or trail running. Often you might need to practise a route before a big race and this feature enhances the whole experience, helping to bring routes to life.

For cycling, you can also mount your smart device onto the handlebars and navigate using a larger screen than your smartwatch face, a much easier and safer way of following a route whilst riding your bike.

In situations where your workouts have been brought indoors, use the Extender feature to more comfortably interpret your activity data. Whether cranking out miles on an indoor bike trainer, covering ground on a treadmill, or working through your strength routine in the gym, know that you no longer have to rely solely on the data seen from the wrist to guide your session.
