Build and design
The band is comfortable to wear and is subtle in its appearance. A passerby wouldn’t notice that you’re wearing a smart band until and unless they stopped for a closer look. There are times that you forget you’re even wearing it because it’s so light.
As pretty as the band is, it doesn’t fit perfectly. The closure method isn’t full proof as the band came loose and fell many a time. Thankfully I was at home during most of those incidences so the band didn’t incur any damage. Though it's unlikely to take much damage with its rubberised casing anyway. But being as lightweight as it is, which is awesome, this might make it easy to lose.
I did try and fit it in tighter, but then the sensor left an indent on my wrist and the band got itchy.
Now here’s the kicker, if the band falls loose while you’re sleeping at night the incessant sensor light that’s normally blocked by your wrist will irritate your eyes repeatedly.
Despite having used it for just two weeks, the metallic clasp is already scuffed and scratched.
Battery
The battery is commendable. It lasts a whole week on full charge and barely takes an hour to charge up again. I was only charging it on Sunday evenings before my week kick-started again, and it didn’t have any issues. Albeit, it should be mentioned that I only used to sync it once every 24 hours, after the day was over to see the quality of activity I’d been able to achieve. Keeping more features activated will probably take a greater toll on the battery.
