Water resistance is better than most activity bands. Great to be able to see phone, texts, but TENNIS IS NOT LISTED as an activity...no real food links like UP Band, I would recommend to some friends but not to my tennis friends!

I'm more low-tech and use this mostly for tracking number of steps each day and mileage. Don't like wearing it to bed, so I place it on the nightstand after setting it to "sleep" so the "quality" of sleep recorded is not really true. It really only tracks how long I've been "sleeping" in terms of when I put it in sleep mode and when I "woke up". Have gotten it wet but not worried about it -- that's very convenient for me too. As a low-tech user I had it originally set to let me know when e-mail arrived (via the Bluetooth option) -- but the vibration got annoying. I only turn on the Bluetooth option on my phone when I need to sync the band to my phone -- good overall tracker. Would prefer the display to change 90 degrees so it's easier to read like a watch, but I'm getting used to it. I am impressed with how little I've had to recharge it -- that was a big concern of mine. I easily get more than a week with each charge, but again, I don't have it constantly "bluetoothing" to other stuff. Based on my use, is this really an expensive pedometer? Yeah, sort of. But it helped that I used Best Buy gift cards ... I like it.

The band is very comfortable, it is discrete as well. The steps are very accurate. The heart rate monitor is very accurate as well although not as comfortable as the wrist band. The elastic band in the heart rate monitor should be a bit more wide to be more comfortable. The wrist band is very easy to use and is water resistant. I am very happy with the purchase. The only complaint i have the the garmin connect app. It is horrible. It is very basic and it lacks pertinent information. Interesting enough, if you go to the website you can access all the info missing on the app.
