Detailed Test Results

Overall this model was somewhat easy to use, very accurate for counting steps, and excellent at measuring heart rate accuracy. And likewise for recent version Android phones, somewhat difficult to pair, somewhat difficult to synch, and somewhat difficult to interact with. It is very easy to attach to the body, very easy to recharge the battery, In our water immersion test it passed the manufacturer's claim of 4 feet.
