NAUTILUS pushes the boundaries of what a performance synth and workstation is capable of. With the power of nine engines to drive a new approach to sounds, plentiful sampling, audio recording, effects, and processing power, there is simply no other synth that delivers more to explore sonically, with the workflow to get you there faster than ever. Korg spent years refining all our digital, analog, processing, and hardware technologies and delivering them in a way that helps the musician connect with their instrument. The result is the incredibly powerful, one-of-a-kind NAUTILUS.

To start, the enhanced SGX-2 piano sound generator offers delicate expressiveness to capture all the nuances of the acoustic piano, and NAUTILUS features the most piano libraries ever put into one product; with 12-step velocity-switched sound, string resonance and more. The EP-1 electric piano sound generator realistically reproduces seven different famous electric piano sounds. The CX-3 engine – the heart of our sought-after CX-3 reissue -covers the distinct sound of classic tonewheel organs. Add to that MOD-7 VPM/FM synthesis, the PolysixEX and MS-20EX for analog modeling, and the STR-1 for physical modeling, and you have essentially an engine for any type of sound you’re looking to get. Used together in Program or Combination mode, these distinctive engines create completely new timbres.

The approach to the included sound on NAUTILUS, started with Korg setting aside our preconceptions of what sound should be like on a conventional music workstation, and instead focused on pushing the boundaries of sampling and programming to create a brand-new classifications of programs that we divide into three groups:

The NAUTILUS brings you distinctive sounds including phrase loops, prepared pianos, found percussion and more. Many seldom heard-of musical instruments found in different regions around the world can be difficult to play, but distinctive phrases played on these instruments are featured on the NAUTILUS. Use these phrases as-is in your songs—let your imagination be your guide. The NAUTILUS features sounds that were sampled for the first time just for this instrument, including prepared piano sounds created by placing different objects between piano strings and recording samples, or “found percussion” sounds made by turning ordinary items into instruments to be struck. Not only do these novel and mysterious sounds provide an unexpected flavor to your songs, they offer broad possibilities for sound effects used in film and TV music as well.

The NAUTILUS also offers the freshest sounds that blend in well with today"s music scene, including synths, drum kits, special effects and more. For synths, be sure to check out the EDM, electro and chiptune sounds for starters. Also, the NAUTILUS features more than 50 kinds of drum kits—sounds that most strongly reflect the changes in music over time. The special effect sounds offer useful material like drums added to dance music to create beats—sounds that you can put to use right away.

With the DYNAMICS knob, you can instantly control the changes in volume and tone in response to how hard you play the keyboard (velocity); and you can customize this knob in real time to match the keyboard playing feel required for each style and song. Even when playing the same sound, you can turn this knob to get the feeling of playing a completely different sound. By finding just the right setting for your playing style, you"ll uncover even more of the possibilities that the NAUTILUS offers.

The six RT (real-time) knobs at the top left of the panel give you direct control over changes to the PROG and COMBI sounds. A variety of functions are assigned to each knob that lets you enjoy making changes to sounds, such as the filter cutoff and effect depth, the gate time, tempo and swing of the arpeggiator or drum track, the type of snare drum and more. In COMBI mode, you can group timbres and control their levels with the knobs. Further, you can press these knobs into the panel to lock them in place, preventing them from being accidentally changed while you’re playing. For instance, you could use this to enable only the knobs you often use onstage and push the ones in that you do not need.

For the NAUTILUS, we have completely rethought the user interface, considering that panel controls tend to become denser as more functions are added. The interface of the NAUTILUS lets users find just the things they’re looking for once they understand the principles.

The MODE button lets you see what you’ve selected in each mode on a single screen, from PROG and COMBI to the set list, sampling, sequence and global modes. Each mode has tabs for each function, and the PAGE buttons offer more detailed editing with consistent operations. With the user-friendly navigation of the NAUTILUS, you can press the MODE button at any time to return to the start if you get lost. A dark mode is available for the display, using black as the primary color to reduce eye fatigue.

Six quick access buttons are also available as shortcut buttons. The NAUTILUS further offers four templates as a continuation of the previous user-friendly features, which can be used to select modes like PROG and COMBI, as transport buttons for sequencer playback and recording and so on. You can also select your own settings as you like. What’s more, you can freely assign functions you frequently use and save them in one of four sets.

Four scenes of arpeggio patterns and drum track sets are made available that perfectly match each PROG and COMBI preset sound. These are useful for switching between scenes while they’re played, for use when improvising during performance, or for expanding your vision when composing music starting from a sound.

NAUTILUS can organize all of the resources you need to get through a song—or a set—using the Set List mode. Using the Set List mode, the TouchView display can host 16 color-coded touch-screen buttons; each one can instantly call up the appropriate Preset, Combination, or Sequence—regardless of mode!

Using KORG’s Open Sampling System, NAUTILUS can quickly sample an external audio source, regardless of whether NAUTILUS is in the Program, Combination, or Sequencer modes. The Open Sampling Mode can even resample the performance of the NAUTILUS itself. The user sample bank, which extends the convenience of the EXs sample library to user samples, allows custom samples to be loaded and played, taking advantage of the gigantic SSD capacity.

AIFF, WAV, SoundFont 2.0, and AKAI S1000/3000 format samples can be loaded into memory via USB memory. Additionally, you can use a USB Ethernet adapter to exchange large amounts of sample data with your computer at high speed. Instruments or samples that you"ve previously created on your PC can be used to construct a music production setup based on just the NAUTILUS itself.

NAUTILUS features a sequencer/recording section that offers both 16 MIDI tracks plus 16 audio tracks; a great resource for putting together a dazzling performance or a brilliant production. MIDI sequencing makes it easy to capture ideas, inspiration, and pro-quality phrases using the Drum Track, or RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) functions.

The 16-track audio recorder simultaneously captures up to four tracks of 16-bit/24-bit uncompressed data at a sampling rate of 48 kHz. Play along with recorded tracks, add effects, and then resample the NAUTILUS itself and place the resampled WAV files directly in a track. When polishing your tracks, feel free to use mixer automation and editing functions such as copy, paste, and normalize to get the results you want.

NATILUS provides 16 internal effects to add impact to your sonic creations. Each of the 12 Insert effects can be applied to individual or multiple timbres in a combination, or to individual or multiple tracks of the sequencer. In addition, two Master effects can be applied to sends 1/2, and two Total effects can be applied to all tracks at the final stage of the sound.

A separate three-band EQ is provided for every timbre, for every sequencer track, and for every audio track for adjusting subtle tonal balances or for creatively modifying the overall sound.

Any class-compliant USB-MIDI controller can be connected directly to the NAUTILUS. Assign functions to a Korg USB MIDI controller with pads (nanoPAD, nanoPAD2, padKONTROL) to play drum parts.

The keyboard on the 88-key model of the NAUTILUS uses a four-stage real weighted hammer action made in Japan, called the RH-3. This action is heavier on the lower notes and lighter on the higher notes for superb playability. The 73-key model features a much-requested light-touch synth keyboard from C to C, as with the 61-key model. This key action lets you play organ parts with plenty of glissandos, as well as synth solos that take advantage of the keyboard’s wide range.

The 88-key model is fitted with luxurious wooden side panels, and the 73-key and 61-key models a completely new design with impressive curves that rise from the bottom of the unit to the sides, patterned after the NAUTILUS’ namesakes: the Nautilus submarine and the cephalopod mollusk. All of these elements make the NAUTILUS a distinctive instrument onstage as well, brimming with personality.

The NAUTILUS Editor and NAUTILUS Plug-In Editor allow you to edit your NAUTILUS from your computer while viewing large numbers of parameters simultaneously, or to use NAUTILUS in your DAW as if it were a software synthesizer. You can download the latest version of the NAUTILUS sound editor from the Korg website.

The NAUTILUS comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope including “Ozone Elements” which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, “Skoove” which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands.

The Nautilus U618 is a popular home upright bike that offers a good combination of performance and price. For roughly $600, you get a comfortable stationary bike that is loaded with workout options and easy to set up.

If you’re looking for a nice stationary bike to add to your home gym, the Nautilus U618 may be a good choice. This review is here to help you figure that out.

The Nautilus brand is part of Nautilus, Inc. (makes sense) which owns several other brands like Schwinn and Bowflex. You’ll notice a lot of similarities between the 2 brands (Nautilus and Schwinn that is), but there are some subtle differences.

The U618 is Nautilus’s highest-end upright bike. Improvements over the U616 include a nicer seat, weighted pedals, a tilting console, a heavier frame, and an included chest strap.

Regardless, it took a little doing to find the real flywheel weight for the U618, but according to the folks at Nautilus its flywheel weighs about 13 lb.

DualTrack screens- the console comes with 2 displays (a larger one and a smaller one) allowing you to see all your workout data at the same time. The smaller one comes in handy when you’re using the tablet holder, which will likely block the big screen.

Wireless chest strap included- not only is this bike compatible with wireless heart rate monitoring, but Nautilus includes one with purchase. A pretty sweet perk for a bike in this price range.

More advanced athletes or people looking for a bike with a more commercial feel should consider a more robust bike, but for the money, the Nautilus U618 is easily one of the best exercise bikes available. A smart buy indeed.

After the Kronos, the Kronos X, the Kronos 2 and the Kronos LS, the latest variant of the Kronos is the first that doesn’t bear its name. It’s called the Nautilus, and I’m not sure whether that’s in honour of the crustacean or Captain Nemo’s submarine, the latter of which was a century ahead of its time but ultimately doomed. Hopefully neither. Like the Kronos, it comes in three configurations: 61, 73 and 88 note. Two of these are similar in size and weight to the equivalent Kronos and they share the same high‑quality keyboards, with the Natural Touch semi‑weighted keyboard in the 61, and the RH3 hammer action keyboard in the 88. The one that’s different is the 73. The Nautilus uses the Natural Touch keyboard, whereas the Kronos has a shorter RH3. I think that this is a point in the Nautilus’ favour; I much prefer semi‑weighted keyboards on 73‑ and 76‑note synths and workstations, and the adoption of this on the Nautilus 73 makes it considerably lighter and more manageable than its Kronos counterpart.

Other significant differences are to be found on their control panels. Firstly, the Nautilus’ touch‑sensitive display is smaller than that of the Kronos, although I didn’t find this to be a problem because the page layouts have been intelligently redrawn. (If you’re accustomed to the Kronos, you might find the changes to be a bit frustrating at first, but it won’t take you long to get used to them.) In truth, a 7‑inch screen is a bit parsimonious by modern workstation standards, but I think it’s obvious that Korg couldn’t exceed the Kronos’ specification without causing problems within their pricing structure. Secondly, there’s no vector joystick, the number of knobs and switches is greatly reduced, and there are none of the multi‑purpose faders that helped to make the Kronos so immediate in use. The difference is most stark to the right of the screen where, amongst other omissions, you’ll find no numeric keypad and no physical controls for the sequencer. There’s an on‑screen numeric pad so you won’t find yourself endlessly scrolling but, clearly, the Nautilus is gong to feel rather different in use. Oh yes, and there’s no ribbon controller in the performance panel either.

Internally, there’s less that’s obviously different. All nine of the Kronos’ synthesizer engines — PCM, virtual analogue, organs, plucked strings, FM, acoustic and electric pianos as well as the virtual MS20 and Polysix — are retained and with the same maximum polyphonies. I can see some people complaining that these have now been around for many years, but some of them have improved in that time — indeed, I found that the EP‑1 engine features a new model in the Nautilus (the Kronos’ Tine EP1 has been expanded into Tine EP Early and Tine EP Late) — but there’s a strong argument for ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. Likewise, the available PCM RAM remains 2GB, the Kronos’ 24‑bit 48kHz sampler is retained and the effects structure remains unchanged with per‑timbre EQs, 12 Insert effects, two Master effects, two Total effects, 197 effect types, 783 presets and what appear to be the same modulation and control busses. Sure, there are a few other small differences — for example, the Nautilus has gained the Quick Layer/Quick Split function from the Kross — but these are small beer; the Nautilus is pretty much a Kronos as far as the underlying sound generation and programming is concerned.

The biggest internal difference between the two marques is therefore the removal of KARMA, but this may be an irrelevance for many users because it failed to catch on to the degree that I suspect that Korg and Stephen Kay had hoped. I’m not entirely surprised. Having reviewed it a few weeks before, I bought a Korg Karma workstation in 2001 but, despite my initial excitement, it became one of the least used keyboards in the working end of my studio. It wasn’t until I started to mess around with KARMA on the OASYS some years later that the penny dropped, and it has since helped me to compose several tracks in which the boundaries between human and machine performance have been blurred into (almost) non‑existence. But despite my epiphany, I can’t see the omission of KARMA greatly affecting the desirability of the Nautilus, especially since it has been replaced by a powerful polyphonic arpeggiator that does far more than generate the simple patterns that we used and loved in the ’70s and ’80s. It works like this...

Each Combi and Sequence also contains an arpeggio with four Scenes, but these can now hold two arpeggio patterns plus one drum pattern or two arpeggio patterns plus one step sequence. You can select the MIDI channel on which each arpeggio pattern outputs its data, and this can be different for each Scene. You can also assign the MIDI channel for the drum pattern or step sequence. While the results don’t have the complexity or human feel of KARMA, this still allows you to develop quite complex ideas, and I can see some players being attracted to its simpler approach. If you like what you’re getting, you can record the arpeggiator’s output into the Nautilus’s main audio/MIDI sequencer to further expand it and, of course, you can write the patterns you create to the workstation’s capacious memory.

Despite being a physical wreck hobbled by an orthopaedic boot when it arrived, I found even the Nautilus 88 to be manageable: not too deep, and not too heavy. If there was one thing that I didn’t like about it (actually, there were two, but we’ll come to other in a moment) it was the length of time that it took to boot up — just shy of three minutes! This can be a bit frustrating in the studio, but it would be a nightmare on stage were there to be a power glitch. A long delay while initialising a modern workstation is far from unique to the Nautilus, but it’s one reason why I prefer to use other technologies when playing live. Many are the times that I’ve reached around the back of a misbehaving digital synth or older workstation and flicked it off and then on again to continue playing before the audience had time to notice that there was a problem. But nearly three minutes? That’s almost as long as a Pink Floyd intro!

Once the Nautilus had booted, it took me to Program A000: Nautilus Dry/Ambient piano. I started to play, and was a bit nonplussed — compared with my OASYS or the Kronos it didn’t sound quite good enough. But pianos are very personal instruments, so I was just about to dive headlong into the menus when I noticed the on‑screen instructions that suggested that I adjust User Knobs 1 and 2 to balance the near‑field and ambient sounds to taste. Having done so to my satisfaction, I then found the evening slipping away and everything was going swimmingly until I moved away from acoustic and electric pianos and started to test the CX3 organ. The sound quality remains as excellent as ever, but the loss of the assignable faders on the top panel meant that I had no ‘live’ control over its drawbars. This will be an irrelevance if you don’t like to ride the drawbars while playing but, if you do, it’s a serious shortcoming. But the real shock to my system came when I turned to orchestral sounds, pads and lead synths. The sound quality and flexibility remained everything that you would expect, but this was when the Nautilus’ most significant shortcoming made itself felt: no aftertouch.

If you’ve read my reviews before, you’ll know that I’m unapologetic about having ‘a thing’ regarding aftertouch. It’s not just that I was brought up on an ARP ProSoloist, it’s a genuine and permanent need. I often use both hands and both feet (bass pedals to the left, swell pedals, switches and sustain pedals to the right) to play on stage the keyboard parts of tracks that have been overdubbed many times in the studio so, unless we get a bit rude, I have nothing left with which to control wheels, joysticks, ribbons, or anything else that requires five appendages. Consequently, I need aftertouch to introduce modulation, to create pitch bends and filter sweeps, and to increase and decrease the speeds of my Leslie effects. I would therefore like to introduce Gordon’s Law Of Universal Aftertouch, which applies to all high‑quality electronic keyboard instruments and forms the basis of the Grand Unified Theory of synthesis and performance. In short, if I press a key just a teensie weensie bit harder, it should affect everyone in the audience. On my 25‑year‑old XP80 (and many others) it does. On the Nautilus, it doesn’t. But what if you don’t subscribe to Gordon’s Law? Obviously, you should be locked up but, that aside, the Nautilus starts to look rather attractive because the loss of a pressure‑sensitive keybed is a significant factor in a price reduction of more than £1000$1000 when you compare each model with the equivalent Kronos.

There has been no point reviewing the Nautilus’ sound engines, sampling and sequencing because these have been covered in depth in the past when discussing the Kronos, and because there’s a wealth of online information about all of them. So let’s summarise. The Nautilus is, in essence, a Kronos that has gained a polyphonic arpeggiator but has lost KARMA, aftertouch, a wealth of top panel controls and about a third of the price. Although it looks a bit Spartan, it clearly sits between the top end of the Krome range and the Kronos itself, although much closer to the latter. Thanks to Korg’s high‑quality keybeds, it’s great to play and, of course, it sounds superb. If the discarded facilities are unnecessary for what you want to do, it starts to look like very good value. If you need them, you’ll have to stump up the extra for the Kronos itself or wait to see where Korg take their top‑end workstations in the future.

It may not be a top‑end workstation, but the Nautilus’ rear panel still has a fair amount going on. Starting on the right you’ll find the master (quarter‑inch TRS balanced) L/R audio outputs and a headphone output that carries the same signals. Alongside these there are four further quarter‑inch outputs, and you can freely route almost anything to these. Next come the balanced analogue audio inputs, which again use quarter‑inch TRS sockets. Unlike those on the Kronos, you have to use menu options to determine whether these expect mic or line level signals, and at what gain. There are no dedicated digital audio inputs or outputs, although you can transfer audio to and from the Nautilus via USB. Three pedal sockets are provided (damper with half‑damping capability, switch, and expression) and these lie alongside 5‑pin DIN sockets for MIDI In, Out and Thru. The final I/O is provided by a USB‑A socket for external USB 2 storage and MIDI controllers, and a USB‑B socket for connecting to a Mac or PC. Furthest left (as you look at it) lies an IEC mains socket for the internal power supply. Interestingly, the power consumption appears to be 20W less than that of a Kronos, perhaps as a consequence of newer technology within.

The Nautilus has an internal SSD offering 53GB of storage, 27GB of which was free on the review unit. This is tiny by today’s multi‑Terabyte standards but, despite the loss of the Kronos’ second internal drive bay, you can add up to eight external storage devices via USB. Given the increasing capacities of USB sticks and external drives this should be adequate for all but the most monstrous sample library requirements. Of the 26GB of SSD space occupied when the Nautilus arrived, much was used by the 14 expansion libraries installed as standard. This is an increase of three libraries when compared with even the latest Kronoses (Kronosi? Kronosen?) and Korg promises that there are more to come.

The Nautilus also features a different set of factory do‑dads when compared with the Kronos, with more preloaded Programs, Drum Kits and Wave Sequences, but fewer preloaded Combis. Then there are the Nautilus’ 2176 arpeggiator patterns, 1593 of which are preloaded, and its 1272 drum patterns in addition to 1000 slots for user drum patterns. If you prefer to use or tweak existing sounds rather than start from scratch, the Nautilus will still keep you occupied for a very long time.

The Nautilus is not a successor to the Kronos; it’s a cut‑down version for a significantly lower price. If the things that have gone missing don’t concern you, it’s a cracking package that offers an immense amount of music creation and performance. If they do, you’ll have to stick with the Kronos or look forward to what Korg do next.

The Nautilus U618 is a popular home upright bike that offers a good combination of performance and price. For roughly $600, you get a comfortable stationary bike that is loaded with workout options and easy to set up.

If you’re looking for a nice stationary bike to add to your home gym, the Nautilus U618 may be a good choice. This review is here to help you figure that out.

Some of the treadmills that are available from the likes of Schwinn and Nautilus, for example, will give you a comfortable pain-free workout and endless different workout options at a fraction of the price.

This Nautilus home treadmill has exact dimensions (in inches) of 72.2 (L) x 35.2 (W) x 57.6 (H) when it is fully assembled, and weighs approximately 200 pounds.

It also has 22 individual workout programs, including manual, quick goal, train, weight control, heart health, interval and custom programs, which many of the cheaper models don’t have, and you can set yourself goals based on time, distance and calories.

The running track on this Nautilus T614 treadmill is a little larger than some of the cheaper models (55 inches x 20 inches), so you are not going to feel cramped or restricted when walking or running on this machine, and it has a StrikeZone impact absorption system that will provide a more comfortable workout experience and prevent injury.

As well as this, it also has a large cushioned running track that will enable you to do walking and running workouts without experiencing any joint pain, and has plenty of useful extra features to make your workouts more enjoyable.

*The Nautilus T616 treadmill was recalled on June 9, 2023, due to reports of the treadmill self-starting. Customers should immediately stop using these recalled treadmills and contact Nautilus to receive a free USB flash drive with a software upgrade and installation instructions.*

Maybe you came across this page because you are looking for the perfect piece of cardio equipment to add to your home gym. For many people, the treadmill is a fan favorite to get that heart rate pumping. If you are looking for the best treadmill, the Nautilus brand may be a name you have stumbled upon. We are about to take a look at the Nautilus T616 Treadmill, the lower end model of Nautilus’ treadmill line.

We have tested and reviewed the Nautilus T618, but we haven’t been able to get our feet on the Nautilus T616 treadmill just yet. However, between our testing on the T618 and our online research, you can trust us to give you an accurate read in our Nautilus T616 Treadmill review.

Among our product testers, we have run hundreds of miles on treadmills. We have spent time assembling and running on other Nautilus products including the T618. If we don’t like something, don’t expect us to sugarcoat it. We are here to give you the facts so you can make the most informed decision on what is best for you and your needs.

The Nautilus T616 treadmill is the company"s entry level machine. Despite its entry-level status, it comes with many features, including: 0-12 mile-per-hour speeds, 0-15% incline grades, 26 workout programs, SoftDrop folding system for storage, StrikeZone cushioning, and adjustable 3 speed fan for comfort.The 26 workout programs include manual/quick start, interval training, heart health, and custom workouts. Runners can also sync with the Explore the World App to run through 27 routes in 19 locations around the world with a subscription and three free courses. The app does have poor reviews, with users struggling with buffering and slow video playback. If you’d like an immersive global run, a more technologically advanced treadmill would be a better option.Customer reviews of the Nautilus T616 are mixed. Positive reviews state that the T616 is solidly built, easy to set up, and simple to use. Negative reviews complain that the T616 is noisy and slow to change speeds. They’ve also reported difficulty with the T616 synching with various apps and struggling to maintain a connection with the included heart rate monitor chest strap.

Maybe you haven’t heard of Nautilus before, but you’re probably familiar with Bowflex and Schwinn. All of these companies are owned by the same company, Nautilus Inc. The T616 is the baseline treadmill from the Nautilus brand specifically.

So far we have tested the T618 and we hope to test the T616 one day soon. Based on our in-depth review of the T618 and our research on Nautilus, we have a solid understanding of the brand itself. Here is what we know:Nautilus produces treadmills with a smooth and quiet run.

The big question: Is it worth the money? Nautilus offers some great basics, especially on a treadmill under the $1,000 price range. It has some great functionality, though it doesn’t have high-end technology features. Here’s who we think might like this machine:

We haven’t had the chance to run on the T616 just yet, but we have tested the higher model in the series: the Nautilus T618. Our experiences on the T618 help us understand the inner workings of the T616.

Both of these treadmills have the same LCD display and size that give you all the necessary workout data. Our testers said the blue blacklist screen is easy on the eyes. The machines also come with 26 preinstalled programs that allow you to run or walk to your heart’s desire. We found these to be great options, especially for beginners who may need some direction when just getting started.

The T616 footprint is 77.2 inches long by 35.2 inches wide by 57.6 inches high. Nautilus does not disclose the exact measurements of the treadmill folded, but keep in mind that it does not fold completely vertically; it comes up to more of a diagonal fold which may save you a little bit of floor space.

Since the T616 weighs a little less than other treadmills, the weight capacity only goes up to 300 pounds. However, for comparison, the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 also has a 300-pound user weight limit, and the treadmill itself weighs 339 pounds.

Nautilus uses the term Strike Zone to talk about their cushioning system. While running or walking, you will find that the treadmill will move an inch or so up or down to minimize the impact on your knees, feet, and ankles when your leg strikes the belt.

While the T616 does not come equipped with the most cutting edge technology, you can count on its reliability. It comes with a 3.75-by-5.5-inch LCD screen and the ability to track your calories, distance, and time among other measurements. You can even make up to four user profiles to store data. For example, the treadmill can store data tracked by your heart rate monitor or Bluetooth-enabled chest strap.

You can place your tablet in the tablet display holder above the LCD screen to connect with apps like Explore the World, or you can use one of the 26 pre-set workout programs. If neither of those options work for you, you can also connect via Bluetooth to workouts and data tracking.

We were disappointed to find out that Nautilus does not offer a lifetime warranty on parts of their product. The T616 comes with a 10-year warranty on the frame and motor, a three-year warranty on mechanical and electronics, and a one-year warranty on labor.

However, Nautilus does offer a six-week satisfaction guarantee. This guarantee states that you can return your treadmill for a full refund (minus shipping and set-up costs). This is competitive since we do not see all brands offering this policy.

Overall, the Nautilus T616 is a solid treadmill. For close to $1,000, you are actually getting a good amount of features like Bluetooth capability and the Nautilus Strike Zone technology. While we don’t rank it as one of our best budget treadmills, it is a reliable and sturdy machine that could be a great addition to your home gym if you have the space.

We have tested and reviewed the Nautilus T618, but we haven’t been able to get our feet on the Nautilus T616 just yet. However, between our testing on the T618 and our online research, you can trust us to give you an accurate read in our Nautilus T616 Treadmill review.

VANCOUVER, Wash., September 22, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS), an innovation leader in home fitness for over 30 years, today announced the launch of the Bowflex® BXT8J treadmill with JRNY® adaptive fitness app compatibility at select online and in-store retail partners –– providing customers with a complete fitness solution at an affordable price point.

According to a recent survey conducted on Nautilus Inc.’s behalf by YouGov*, the most important attribute of a treadmill is affordability, and the major reasons that stop consumers from purchasing a treadmill are cost and size.

"With the launch of the Bowflex BXT8J treadmill, we continue to diversify our product and omnichannel offerings and provide consumers the ability to shop based on their personal preferences," said Jay McGregor, senior vice president, general manager, North American Sales, Nautilus, Inc. "We know that affordability is an important attribute for our consumers, and we’re excited to deliver a quality cardio product with digital connectivity, accessible through our nationwide retailer partners."

The Bowflex® BXT8J treadmill offers high-performance cardio combined with the ability to pair the user’s device to the JRNY® adaptive fitness app. The treadmill’s built-in media shelf makes it easy to explore new and personalized JRNY® workout experiences by using a tablet or phone (available on iOS and Android devices). The JRNY® adaptive fitness membership provides access to Explore the World routes, JRNY radio, and hundreds of trainer-led workouts, which are tracked and saved in the JRNY(R) member’s journal.

*All cited figures, unless otherwise stated, are from a survey conducted by YouGov Plc on behalf of Nautilus, Inc. Total sample size was 2,646 adults. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all US adults (18+). Fieldwork was undertaken between August 17-19th 2022. Participants completed the survey online.
