Kore 2.0 Smartwatch Review of Specs and Prices

At under $60, the Kore 2.0 smartwatch is an interesting proposition. Right now, however, reviews are few and far between. So, what exactly is it, and does it live up to expectations?

On the surface, the Kore 2.0 is seemingly feature-packed. It’s also a fraction of the price of many other smartwatches on today’s market. Despite this, it promises accurate health and fitness insights at a glance, plus other features that make it stand out in its price range.

Kore 2.0 offers a range of benefits for less than the latest Apple Watch. But can the two possibly be compared? Read on to find out.

By Kore’s own admission, as it stands, they’re a relatively unknown player in the smartwatch, activity tracking, and fitness technology space. Currently, the tech-focused Kore arm of the wider KoreHealth brand is responsible solely for the Kore 2.0 smartwatch.

Elsewhere, KoreHealth also produces a range of massage balls, foam rollers, resistance bands, fitness boards, and bathroom scales. The brand aims to create simple, practical fitness tools designed to maximize users’ sporting performance and speed up their recovery times. As a result, the company attracts ambassadors such as athletes, sportspersons, and other individuals.

Ambassadors and other advocates include professional MMA and WMMA fighters, well-known ultramarathon runners, social media influencers, healthcare professionals, and at least one former professional baseball player. All have been quick to praise KoreHealth’s existing range of massage balls, foam rollers, and bathroom scales.

Yet, it’s their Kore arm’s new smartwatch that continues to attract the most attention. Now in its second generation, following the briefly popular KoreTrak Pro, the Kore 2.0 boasts many of the best features of other health and fitness smartwatches, but without huge brand name mark-ups, according to the manufacturer.

The Kore 2.0 smartwatch is nothing if not feature-packed. Highlights include:

From measuring sleep quality to tracking body temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels, the Kore 2.0’s various sensors claim to identify important patterns in the overall health of wearers. Moreover, it’ll do this while simultaneously maintaining historical health and workout data. As a result, it provides in-depth, accurate, and efficient health reports as and when needed.

The Kore 2.0 runs on the all-new KoreHealth app, which is available to download now from Apple’s App Store or via Google Play. Freshly developed, the app can be used to seamlessly set benchmarks, conquer fitness goals, and receive insightful, super-accurate data designed to motivate Kore 2.0 buyers across the board.

Prices for Kore’s 2.0 smartwatch vary between markets. Presently, in the U.S., customers can pick up their own Kore smartwatch for around $60. Various offers, including deals on two or more Kore 2.0s, are also available.

For example, anyone looking to buy three Kore 2.0 smartwatches can do so straight from the manufacturer for only $134.99 – equivalent to just $44.99 apiece. Either way, given the nature of the product, an extended smartwatch warranty is advisable.

Ultimately, Kore 2.0 won’t likely be a direct competitor for the Apple Watch or the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch4. However, at $60, it’s an inexpensive option for those looking for an affordable, entry-level smartwatch and activity tracker in one. At the same time, more recognizable options like Fitbit’s Versa Lite now cost under $100 as well.

The Fitbit Versa Lite may be a more sensible, tried-and-tested option if there’s scope to increase the budget slightly. If not, other potential choices remain limited in the sub-$100 price bracket. It’s here, then, that the Kore 2.0 could excel. Yet, it’s impossible to say for sure until there’s more feedback available to consider.

In addition, Upsie’s coverage is comprehensive, ensuring that your new smartwatch is protected from anything life throws its way.
