" ... Clip breaks easily ... "
" ... First, there is truth to the reviews that the clips are easily broken. ... The first three broke in those random moments when it might get caught on the seat-belt or you accidentally clip it to your belt AND pants instead of just the belt. ...

After some research, I decided this was what I was looking for since I could A) inconspicuously wear it on my belt during the day with the clip B) wear it on my wrist in the evening while at home C) it doesn't require pesky charging and D) it only costs a fraction of what most fitness trackers cost. ...
