I don't use it in the pool. If you do, I am sure it will rust over time and stop functioning. This is not a high quality item with water-proofing. It is a simple bar counter that functions as promised.

The strap is rather narrow, but I have had no issues with it digging in. However, the strap is rather long and probably not suitable for wearing around your wrist, in my opinion. I have my expanded out and wear it over my shoulder so that it rests in on the opposite hip or against my back.

I wear mine 24/7, only removing it every 7 or 8 days for a recharge. Swimming doesn't hurt it. It's fine up to 30 feet under water but it doesn't count swimming distance so you have to enter it by hand.

Wear a swim cap or a headband when doing water aerobics. Mine still works after 8 months, over 100 swims, for sure, including wearing it when I take a long pre-swim warm-up shower, completely submerged when I swim a length along the bottom of the pool. No worries. It is waterproof.

My wrist is 9 inches and it fits snug so I can not say what size wrist it is designed to accommodate. There is some give in it so I think it would fit a larger wrist as the picture shows it is apparently larger than mine. Sorry this isn't a lot of help to you.

It should work for someone with small wrists. It's Velcro, so you can pull it tight. I'm not sure if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. I wore it a few times and haven't had to wear it consistently because I feel it fixed the problem. Any time I do feel my wrist starting to hurt, I get the brace out and wear it for a bit and it doesn't hurt any more.

It would be too big for my wrist. It swings around on mine. Maybe it could be worn higher on the forearm. That could work if that is comfortable. That would be an option.

It fits around mine and my boyfriends. It isn't adjustable so it wont fit tight but with it being stuffed and stiffer it doesn't just want to fall off either. We put it on our wrist a lot while taking pics on moving boats, kayaking and I carry it on my wrist. Hope this helps

It has done quite well whenever I wear it when sleeping. Less pain on my wrist and thumb. Just don't fasten the last wrap too tightly, you don't want to impede circulation to your hand and fingers when you are sleeping.

My wife's wrist is 14-14.25cm & we bought a small jawbone. She says it was "snug" on her wrist. Also, I have a large, and there is definitely some flexibility to the band. IOW, you can expand or contract it a bit by gently bending it. That said, she lost her band while moving old possessions from her parents' apartment - it popped off and is presumed to be in a bag of Goodwill donations. Additionally, if you are active, you might want to rethink the jawbone - I'm on my 3rd one in a year and am disappointed in their durability - look at my review. Hope this helps!

I have an average size wrist and although its kind of bulky it does wrap securely, it stays in place. I primarily got these for just above my knee area so I needed them to have a further reach. Also keep in mind that amazon only sends one of these unless it specifies that the price comes with two. When I ordered the 3 pound ones I didn't notice it and I had to re-order the 2nd one and wait for it to come in the mail. Hope this info has helped.

Yes, it fit around my wrist just fine. The foam is soft it would probably fit multiple size wrists.

It will take a resting pulse if you can wear it long enough without your wrist hurting. I warned you before you bought it it's very uncomfortable.

The strap is adjustable elastic and will lock into place with the snap down lock. I just place it on the wrist with the bulky part on the inside of the wrist. The instructions don't clarify as to which wrist to use. I was told, however, that rubbing lotion on my wrist would make for better contact.

Stephanie, I've never used it, but it works great in the pool. Give them a call they're pretty accessible.

I found th strap white comfy. I never had any issues with sweat or the time I dropped it in the shower, but I never took it swimming or anything. My only issue with the timex is that I found the interface less intuitive than the Polar.

Hi TJ, I've worn it while swimming and it still works. Not deep sea diving or anything, just in a pool swimming in a sportive way. Also I've been wearing it in the shower for 9 months now. I do avoid pushing the button when in the water, no idea if that's necessary, but that's just what I've been doing. Hope that helps..
