• Why can’t I just use my other wearable, e.g. Fitbit or Apple Watch, instead of Pulse?
  We use a 7G ERM haptic motor powered by a special haptic driver. This creates vibrations unlike in other wearables. More distinct and precise & 700% more powerful than most devices. This powerful hardware is not just a gimmick that sounds cool, but a requirement for a vibrating metronome to work.
• Where can I wear Pulse?
  It comes with a short band designed for the wrist. In addition a long band is included that allows you to wear it on your arm, ankle & leg. A body strap is available separately so you can wear it on your upper thigh and chest.
• What’s the difference between Pulse, Core 2 and Core Steel 2?

  The Pulse is our entry level product that features just a vibrating metronome. You can change the rhythm on the device, but it has no screen so for precise adjustment you have to use the companion app. The Pulse has a longer battery life, but also a much bigger size than the Core. The body strap comes not included and is available for purchase separately.

  The Core 2 doesn't just feature a vibrating metronome, but also a practice tracker, chromatic tuner, decibel meter and smartwatch features. It comes with a screen, so precise adjustments can be made right on the device. It is not just a music tool, but can also be used as your daily watch. The body strap comes included with each Core for free.

  The Core Steel 2 has the exact same features as the Core. On top of that, it's made from a premium full stainless steel casing and besides the silicone strap, it comes with an Italian leather strap. It also includes a bonus carrying pouch.
