But the next pic shows 37888 steps. However that could be the total
steps and 2056 is todays steps. But why would a display model have so
many steps?

When you get it, tell us how it works. I might buy one too.


Don't bother. The only reliable function is the step counter. 'Sleep'
does work if you pair it with your phone -- there's no display on the
unit itself. The HR and BP functions are really iffy, such that they're
worthless. The battery seems to discharge really fast. It needs to be
worn uncomfortably tight so that no external light can slip under the
sensors. It works better if you wear the display on the inside of your
wrist. It's a real bitch to put on -- designed for people with 3 hands.

It has a weather app (based on the gps reading) which claims 23F and
snowing in SoCal. I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

I emailed dx.com. We'll see what they do about it.
