Overall this model was somewhat easy to use, somewhat accurate for counting steps, and good at measuring heart-rate accuracy. With recent version iPhones, our experts found it very easy to pair, very easy to interact with, and likewise for recent version Android phones, very easy to pair, and very easy to interact with. It is very easy to attach to the body and in our water immersion test it passed the manufacturer's claim of 164 feet.
