Does this hurt or add muscle strain to your arm or wrist while wearing? It seems like the added weight of a phone on your wrist would hurt.

For me, it does not. I've been using this for awhile now, and the wright has never crossed my mind while running with it. I'm used to wearing a watch in the same spot so maybe it's accustom to something "there" on my wrist. I LOVE being able to change songs, check my RunKeeper App, etc by just glancing at my wrist ( again, like a watch)-

No, not at all. I ware mine for hours no problem. Go Bluetooth headphones if you can.

I don't think you're supposed to wear it all day. I only wear it when I play golf or do something that I think will involve a lot of twisting and use of my wrist. I hope this helps.

Well, it didn't really work for me because I had to stretch my thumb to make the buttons work. I was hoping it would help my wrist pain, but it made my thumb sore and fatigued from the stretching. I don't think it works well for small hands.

I don't feel like it does. I have smaa hands and still find it comfortable. The phone is definitely not as slim with the case on, but the point of using this case is to protect it from damage.

I've owned mine for a few months now and use it doing total body workout. My wrists are small and it moves a bit but otherwise no problem.

Yes, I've had no issues with the band staying on. Once, I noticed my phone slipped out slightly (bc I had to turn it upside down with the mouth open to the ground to be able to access my menu button), but it was very little and I noticed it and was able to push it back up

well it depends on which part of the wrist is bothering you. I had pain on the side of my little finger and I could not get past 50 when i did the weight bearing test. I started using this for about a month. Has the pain gone away completely? No but i can tell it is coming down and I can play tennis pain free now. Ofcourse i changed a few things on my tennis game too. But i think WW has helped me and would recommend it.

Pretty small... but depending how small your arms are (are they wider than an iPhone?) it may not be really comfortable. I think you could get it to adjust for arms as small as about 6" in circumfrance. Which is around the size of my wrist. Have worn this securely on my forarm and could have slid it down to my wrist and tighten it up there as well.

I've read several reports from people with small wrists having the wrist rubbing issue with the 305. Most of these people just wear a cheap sweat band under their 305 and the problem goes away. Another benefit of wearing a sweat band is that it keeps the battery/syncing contacts on the bottom of the 305 clean. The electrical contacts on the back of the 305 tend to corrode after repeated contact with sweaty skin. Some people have also noticed that their 305's battery tends to discharge very quickly if they sweat a lot. Wearing a sweat band also prevents this.

I would recommend giving these a try. The pain you are experiencing could be due to the fact that while doing regular pushups, your palm is flat on the floor and the angle of your wrist is extreme. With these, your wrist stays parallel with your arm, so there's no bending, thus, no stress on the wrist.

You could, but probably shouldn't...I've been wearing it almost all day every day first week I bought it. Even at night sometimes. It was quiet interesting experiment to see how different activities affect heart rate (my heart rate drops below 60 when working with computers and steady 65 at night)By the 8th day I've noticed redness on my skin where the rubber contacts were touching and then it started itching. It makes sense: the skins doesn't breath there and strap traps salt from sweat.So now I cut down on wearing it only when I work out.

I was prescribed wrist supports to wear at night to keep my wrists straight. I hadn't realized curling my wrists at night (sleeping like a cat) was giving me wrist pain during the day. No, they won't keep your from clenching your fists if that's what you mean.

Nope. I was a bit paranoid about that at first myself. Smartphones are not cheap. The way the grip is laid out holds my phone securely, even when going over some fairly rough paved roads. The bottom prongs ensure the phone does not slide down and the wrap-around mini-bungee keeps the phone in the grip. The bungee can get in the way of finger swipes, but we really shouldn't be doing that while in motion anyway (though its hard to resist sometimes).

My S4 is in a slim case so I haven't had a problem with the armband depressing the buttons but I have to use some pressure to get the phone in the case and I have a tendency to hold the phone where the buttons are. I'm getting better at remembering to push the phone in from the top instead of holding the top sides.

I have had mine for a while now and have experienced problems a few times. I've found that if I wear my iPhone on my right arm while running they work better than if my phone is anywhere else.

No I'm betting you could do a couple cartwheels and it won't fall off. And the phone can't fall out I don't think. It will be velcroed snugly around your bicep. Actually you could probably fall into a pool and it won't fall off and if you jumped out really fast your phone probably wouldn't even get wet. Especially if you put a piece of scotch tape over the little slit opening.The problem I have is I wanted to wear it like a watch and it's too loose on my wrist.

I doubt it, but I never stress tested mine beyond just being on my arm during cardio. The elastic in the arm band does wear out with regular use, so yours might wear down a little faster.
