I will use this mostly at the gym. Can it be worn on an arm band and if so what kind?

I haven't used it at a gym but I bought a cheap mp3 armband at Five Below and it fits in there. One of the reasons I wanted this radio is because its small.

You may be able to find an arm band that will hold this radio but it is a little bigger than your typical arm band radio and you may not be satisfied. If you intend to use it at the gym, you would probably be better off buying an arm band radio - Sony, Coby or something similar. You may have to decide between performance and size.

I keep my radio in my shirt pocket, but it is definitely small enough to put on an arm band. Please know it does NOT have a clip to attach to anything. It is a great radio for its size and picks up stations clearly . Easy to navigate too. I'm in New York City.

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.

I would think so. It has a plastic cover over the face of the phone and the arm band is sweat proof. I've been using mine for two months now. I really like it. Also you can turn the arm band under your arm your arm, or to the side.

Yes, you can wear it while exercising but it may not be very comfortable after a half hour or more and you will want to be careful that it stays in place and doesn't go flying off since it is not designed for such. It takes constant readings -- showing your heart rate as well as your oxygen/blood saturation level.

This device works well, but tends to slip while more active. I know some people say they wear this band while running or playing sports, but I found that while playing tennis, it begins to slip and/or loosen. It also takes a few tries to find the right position to wear it. I've found that for walking or general wear, it's fine, but, as I noted, for more active exercises and sports it is less effective than a tightly worn ACE band. LT

To be honest what I have experienced is these bands have been quite stretchy. Not knowing the comfort you are looking for I would go xxl since you will be putting in a phone or Ipod as well into the arm band. This is just my opinion though it's completely up to you.

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.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.

I'd say my arms are mid-size and there's enough slack on the band that I don't think I would have a problem using it while lifting. However, if you have larger arms, the band might not be long enough to allow full flex. It looks like the band can extend out to about 15" circumference.

Yes, I use the arm band for the MP3 player for bike riding and it works great for hands free operation. I tossed the cover in the trash as it is junk. Just open the clip on the MP3 player and slide underneath the arm band.

I would think so,. The clip isn't very strong so depending on how active your workout is, it might be best secured with an arm band or held in a pocket.

I wear it around my chest. The electro probes underneath the monitor picks up your heart rate, so I don't think it would calibrate with an arm pulse.

It can be worn in any position. It comes with an approximately 4" loop that you attach to the pedometer and the other end has a "clamp" to attach to a belt loop, bra strap, button hole. It's very secure. When I wear pants without belt loops, I wear it on the inside of my shirt, attached to my bra strap. With belt loops, I hook it then stick it in my pocket. I don't like to have it hanging loose when I jog. I like to use it as a pocket watch.

No, I would not think so. The picture is very accurate. It comes with a smaller arm band and a larger arm band.

It's kind of big so it might not be comfortable on a wrist and there's no actual wrist strap for it. The arm strap comes with an "accessory bundle" but the device seems to work better clipped on or in a pocket.

I've had no issues with mine, the armband does what it advertises. I'd recommend it if you want it for working out or running. The side buttons all work when depressed too.

Yes it comes with an arm band that is lined with little rubber bumps to hold it in place. I found the lining hot and uncomfortable. But that's a personal preference.
