“I've had the Core since its release, and Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with what it provides. Its main features, the contact tuner and metronome, are very easy to understand with its simple and effective UI. I also like the customization with the LEDs and vibration strength, which tailors to my needs. However, there are a few things that aren't perfect. When it comes to pairing with my Android phone, the Core will constantly disconnect itself without reason, when it didn't do that on my old iPhone. Additionally, I wish that I could control my media players from my Core, as it'd be nice for either casual music listening or for practice. Lastly (and this isn't about the Core itself, but rather the tuner mounts), I wish that there as a clip-on tuner mount available. As an electric bass player, sticking a magnetic mount on my bass isn't a big deal, but as violin player, I don't really want to have something like a tuner mount stuck to any part of my violin that might cause damage were I to remove it. Overall, the quality of the Core is great, but I'm also a bit disappointed it doesn't have more.”

“Overall really useful tool to have in general! If the vibrations can be a bit stronger and SHORTER it would be amazing. I find it kind of hard to feel the pulses when actually playing (on my wrist), and if I make the vibration stronger it takes too long to stop, resulting in a seemingly continuous vibration (while playing). If I’m not playing, or have it strapped to somewhere else, it’s a lot easier to feel the pulses. TL;DR definitely a lot of room for improvement, but I’m satisfied.”

“Good battery, okay, its only a small...Ehm micro-sized Display. The settings are not intuitiv enough. Biggest Problem is the bad symbiose between watch and Metronom App. Can't import the settings fein one device to another. The WHOLE Playlist >50 Songs re-inserting?? NO WAY!! Waterresistant?? Not really, neither IP44 or better... Missing the setting to Shift the vibration force for the WHOLE bar! And some minor things...”

“Hi. I am very happy to have bought the product. It worked very well for me. However, it would be better if there were a few different features as well. For example; answering calls from the watch, receiving audio notifications, and similar features.”

Hey Mehmet, Thank you for leaving us this review! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying this Core. Regarding your feature requests, it is possible to answer and decline calls if you are using a iOS device, same with receiving notifications. We are hoping to release the android compatibility soon.

“While the vibrating metronome takes getting used to, it is a powerful tool in the practice room. My only gripe about the metronome function is that in compound time signatures (6/8, 9/8, etc.) it doesn’t have the dotted quarter note for the beat, which is how most composers/arrangers set the pulse. Other than that it’s a great tool and a good looking watch!”
