Detailed Test Results

Overall this model was somewhat easy to use and not as accurate as most models for counting steps. With recent version iPhones, our experts found it very easy to pair, somewhat easy to synch, very easy to interact with, and likewise for recent version Android phones, very easy to pair, somewhat easy to synch, and very easy to interact with. It is somewhat difficult to attach to the body, very difficult to recharge the battery and it passed our basic water immersion test of 3 feet for 30 minutes.
