You can usually find a watch on each of my wrist, and most of the time they track my running, bike riding and indoor rowing. However, I use sports watches to catch the movement when fishing, hiking, kayaking, and more flying, so when Koros revealed the new nomadic chain when I felt as if the company made just a watch for me.
New Koros nomad Designed for those who enjoy spending time out with activities such as hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and discovery of nature, while able to document those activities. Over the years, I have used germining sports watches with fish function, where I track trout in rivers so that I can return to the hot spot in the future. Koros Nomad takes things to the next level with adaptation to this type of activities, and I will soon take it out with my rod, reel, backpack and EMTB.

Nomad joins vertics, apex and pace series as coros rounds its lineup for a series of activities and focus areas. The nomad has a new hardware element, which has a bottom left action button to turn the backlight, switch between the map and the data screen, and serve as a shortcut for its most common activity. Unlike most modern watches, nomads focus on battery life with the use of a third-generation memory-in-pixel display that appears outside and remains all the time.
The coros enables a 22 -day battery life with daily use, 50 -hour tracking with all systems, and double frequency mode with 34 -hour tracking and trekking with all GNSS. A specific weekend with two days of daily use, 2.5 hours of hiking, and five -hour fly fishing should result in only 20% battery consumption, so stay for our real life testing.

The dual microphone is another new hardware feature designed to document the recording voice pins and other major data. The size of 47 mm diameter is perfect for those who want a big performance, but who do not even want a big, chunky watch. With a nylon band, the watch weighs only 49 grams, so you can focus on your activities without weighing your wrist.
Adventure journal
A distinctive feature that I cannot wait to test is the adventure journal. It works with your watch and phone. Before your outing, download maps and routes, create and edit the route, check the weather, navigate with your watch and expand that navigation on your phone, save the major places on the way, record the pin with your voice, and capture the pictures that will then be saved from your passage.

When you return safely from your activity, you can see the summary, see trek in 3D, and easily share your memories with family and friends.
Koros did not associate some of these outdoor adventure features with name and basic tracking metrics, but has adapted nomads for these activities. For example, fishing features include a catch log, fishing time prophet, weather conditions and more. The number of your artists is captured, you can pin the log and structures in the water, and I can make a fish log unlike anything I saw earlier.
Availability and price
The nomadic is available in dark brown, green and brown, With a very reasonable price of $ 349. Unlike some other choros watches, it does not use sapphire glass on the display and lighter involves polymer content, but the price is correct. You can still use it for driving, bike riding, swimming and more. Add an LED flashlight to the nomad 2, and the clock would be perfect for daily use.
