    Detailed Test Results

    Overall this model was somewhat easy to use, very accurate for counting steps, and very good at measuring heart-rate accuracy. With recent version smartphones, our experts found it very easy to pair, somewhat difficult to interact with, and very easy to connect to charger. In our water immersion test it passed the manufacturer's claim of 330 feet.
