Hi guys, I am Tom and you’re watching the Features Daily review.
In a world full of smartwatches, health and fitness trackers feel liberating.
They are much smaller, their battery life is way better, and they are easier to use.
Today I’m going to review the new Kore 2.0 health and fitness tracker.
For most people looking for a reliable health and fitness tracker,
Kore devices were always an option to consider.
And given the relatively low price point, it was always a bargain too.
Kore 2.0 is the third generation of the wildly-popular Kore products.
It takes the best parts of Kore trackers, adds the latest tech, and packs them into
an upgraded form factor.
Oh yeah, and most importantly it costs less.
And so, not surprisingly, it’s not Fitbit, and it’s not Samsung-- It’s this health
tracker that is once again the hottest thing out there.
Today, we’re going to dive into everything from design and build quality to ease of use
and health tracking.
I’ve linked all of the chapters in the description below.

Now, let’s unbox the device.
I like how Kore devices always come in this Apple-looking packaging. I’m always looking
forward to unboxing them.
A thank you note with some QR codes--
Ah, yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.
This is quite different from the earlier generations of Kore trackers. You can tell they've put
extra effort into creating this fresh new look.
Let’s move to the next part of the review: charging the Kore 2.0.
The way you charge this device is different from the earlier Kore smartwatches.
You no longer need to remove the band to charge the device.
Instead, you get this magnet charger that clips onto the back of the tracker.
I know that most people will be happy with this new way of charging the tracker.
But I must admit I will miss the convenience of plugging the tracker directly into a USB
port.
Now, let me put the smart tracker on my wrist and see how it feels.
There you go.
I have to tell you, this feels pretty good.
I hope you can see this, guys. The band is made of this silky-smooth high-grade silicone
material.
It has a pin-and-tuck closure that lets you adjust the length and ensure a strong lock.
Kore devices always had a good reputation for build quality, but I’ve got to tell
you-- this is on the next level.
It’s super comfortable and I would have no problem wearing this for a long time.
The good news is that the device is IP67 rated, meaning it’s waterproof and you don’t
have to worry about it getting wet.
Now, let’s take a look at the screen.
Kore 2.0 comes with a new generation ultra-bright LED touchscreen.
You do most of the interaction through the touchscreen.
Swiping through the different menu options, tapping to select them, and so on.
The screen is scratch-resistant and, as you can tell, it’s pretty responsive as well.
Now, let’s talk about some of those sensors on board.
Kore 2.0 packs enough tech to put some of the most expensive smartwatches to shame.
It can track your activity, monitor your heart rate,
measure your blood oxygen, monitor your body temperature,
track your stress levels and sleep.
If that wasn’t enough, it can also track all your fitness activities like walking,
running and playing all sorts of sports.
Most of the tracking is done using the KoreHealth app. But you can also connect the device to
your favorite health apps, such as Apple Health or Google Fit.
One thing to keep in mind is that Kore is still a consumer gadget. So it won’t be
as accurate as advanced medical devices.
That said, I’ve compared Kore's heart rate measurements against the Fitbit Charge. The
results were about the same.
Kore 2.0 can be paired with all Bluetooth-enabled Apple and Android phones and tablets.
The pairing is done through the KoreHealth app that is available on Apple and Google
app stores.
The process is fast and seamless, and the experience is fairly similar across both platforms.
Kore 2.0 has a couple of cool smart features on board.
Among other things, you can control your music, check local weather updates, see social app
alerts, respond to phone calls and read text messages.
Not bad for a device that is essentially a lightweight health and fitness tracker.
Finally, let’s get into battery life.
And that is one thing this device has plenty of.
Now, Kore says you get 7 days of battery life out of this device. And that is pretty great.
However, it's not a secret that just like the earlier generation Kore devices, Kore
2.0 can last you even longer than that.
And so, if you’re moderately active, just as I am, you won't have to charge Kore every
week.
There’s no doubt that Kore 2.0 is a significant upgrade from older trackers.
It packs lots of impressive tech into a lightweight form factor.
It really feels like Kore has put together a device that takes the best features of health
trackers and smartwatches without making a compromise on size or quality.
And while we have seen quite a few smartwatches and health trackers released this year, I’ve
got to admit Kore 2.0 has left a lasting impression on me.
Given the amazing battery life, surprising build quality, and all of the features, this
is probably the best bang for the buck on the market today.
And so, if you are looking for a reliable tracker that has all the latest tech, but
you don’t feel like spending extra money on a fancy brand, Kore 2.0 is the one you should
get.
