How's the velcro hold up? Looking for a band that stays on when dong upper arm exercises where the band gets pulled a bunch.

It works great. It stays snug and doesn't bunch or fall down. Very happy with it.

The Velcro has held up fine so far for me, i can't remember if there were different sizes but there is not a lot of extra left at the end after fastening so if you have a large bicep you may want to consider that. I think my bicep is about 11".....

I had a similar band with the fitbit -- stupid stupid clasp design for such and expensive piece of equipment. I went to my local hardware store and bought two little black O-rings and put them on. They work wonders in holding the clasp in place. Even when the clasp loosens, (which it frequently does) the wrist band doesn't fall off.

I used for about 4 months and yes, the Velcro is not working anymore. Keeps pulling away when I am running. I have a 3 times-a-week use. Useless now, but was good when brand new. I purchased on October 2013.

It will depend on the size of your arm, but I'm already barely able to secure it. At this point I have to put the arm band pretty close to my shoulder (thickest part of my arm) in order to get the velcro to stick.

I would say yes. I actually still have to wrap the band around at least on one hand. You shouldn't have a problem at all : )

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.

Hey Victoria:My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band.Thanks, John

I unfortunately can't answer as I have large arms, but I can say that the band has Velcro band does go all the way to the end of the strap. Also, consider once you start sweating it does get a little bit looser

I wear mine on my forearm and it stays put fine. I took a measurement, and with the Velcro attached to about an inch overlap, it should easily fit as much as 17-inch biceps with a bit of stretch.

I didn't have that problem. I wore it for 8 wks. and the Velcro and glue held up.

Good day,I have personally used this product while doing all sorts of exercises including bench press, and I can honestly say that I did not experience any discomfort with the headband. Have fun!

I've owned mine more than 2 months. .about 4 months and use it everyday..and there's NO sign of the velcro even trying to come off. If youve owned yours for that short amount of time and have that issue. .I'd ask for an exchange.

Eh... not really. I personally have to stop and take the thing off. I usually can't see the screen if I'm running in sunlight, and I have to wear it with the screen on the outside of my arm (as opposed to the side closer to my body) to prevent it rubbing in my elbow crease or against my chest. This means I can't see it without loosening it and turning it towards me. It's still probably the most durable and functional armband I've come across. I have reached the conclusion that there's just not a perfect one out there.

I've only used it 4 times and the velcro is already giving out. Very weak velcro, don't want to risk damage to my iphone if/when it finally gives out during a run. I will continue trying to find a good armband.

Kathy-- I personally have not had any issues with the weights slipping. I have used them a lot, but only on my ankles (says you can use them on your wrists as well). The Velcro strap is very long and allows you to make the weight as tight as you need it. Hope that helps
