Ideal for technical work.

I work in the IT sector as a technician for several customer companies. While contemplating using a smartwatch like others in my office do, I wanted to take full advantage of my phone's apps and features. So I bought this bracelet. Pros: It sits well on the wrist and I've found you have a good range of adjustment to accommodate any angle you need to access your phone. It keeps the phone close enough to your wrist that you don't have to keep thinking about it when walking through doors, but far enough away that it doesn't completely limit your hand's range of motion. My main use was to access and monitor various work related apps on my phone while keeping my hands free for work. It also comes in handy when driving with Google Maps as it now takes me less time to scan the GPS than when I had my phone in the center console. (It's still not safe to text and drive! xD) Finally, my boss and I both laugh when it looks like I've turned my phone into one of those 80's and 90's sci-fi computers, attached to the wrist. Cons: The strip that makes up the armband is Velcro and can be a bit of a hassle if you don't just attach the strap like that. It could be improved by making the end of the strap narrower so it doesn't dangle from either side of the padded part of the strap. Another thing that sometimes gets stuck. I got around this by clicking closer to the connection point. I don't know how to improve it. While I'm not sure if it's the product or my choice of how to use it, I did feel like the strap was suffocating my wrist at first and a few times after. I loosened the strap and after a while tightened it again until I was comfortable. I think it just took some getting used to.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
