What owners say about the Amazfit Cor

Based on 89 owners sharing their experience in online comments

37%positive12%mixed51%negative

Owners value the bright display and long battery life, but pairing problems and fragile hardware often spoil the experience.

What owners dislike

  • Owners say the band loses Bluetooth within a few metres of the phone or when the app closes, and some cannot reconnect.10
  • Owners say the strap clip tabs break, so the strap keeps unclipping, and replacement straps are hard to find.7
  • Some owners say the battery drains suddenly, lasts only about 12 days with heavy use, or dies below 10% and will not charge.6
  • Owners say steps are miscounted, for example while riding in a car or bus, and that hand movement can register as steps.6
  • Some owners say the band failed after water exposure, such as washing hands or a hot bath.5
  • Owners report the screen goes black, sometimes during charging or app pairing, while the band still vibrates for notifications.5
  • Owners say alerts for WhatsApp and social apps do not arrive, and some get no incoming-call alert or caller name, only SMS.4
  • Owners report the case base cracks or the metal top and screen come loose after a few months, and glue does not hold it.4
  • Owners say the band stays in English or Chinese after a firmware update, sometimes reverting, and the companion app login can hang.4
  • Owners say an app-pushed firmware update, including one to Chinese firmware, left the band dead or with a black screen that would not turn on.4
