Unless you're a marathoner or involved in serious training, a run is usually going to last 45m-60m tops. Many people, myself included, consider that time to be sacred and personal, in which getting calls or messages is the last thing one would want to be involved with. I have never in my life taken my phone with me on a jog, and I would never want to. I put my Fitbit Charge HR in exercise mode, and if I want music (which I usually don't), I'll take an iPod shuffle. Connectivity to the wider world web is not on my agenda, and something like the Core is likely the extent of technology that I'd want on my person. It's the coolest product I've seen lately in the fitness sphere. ...on a side note, one of the reasons I enjoy jogging without music is that it gives me a chance to let my thoughts flow, and I find myself coming up with all sorts of neat ideas while my heart rate is high and I'm out and about with zero distractions. I've long wanted a voice memo recorder while out on a run, and the fact that the Core includes that makes it even more enticing!
