As I read reviews I see not to use bands for 12 hrs. after replacing. If this is so u can not change them in field and use it. Is this the way it is

Use rubbing alcohol instead of water, wait about 5 minutes. Good to go. If it does pull off repeat and wait a little longer, depends on the temperature and humidity, keep it in the sun when you change. Doubt you will have to worry about it, The bands will show signs of fatigue well before they break, just change them when you see pitted or cracked rubber.

I have never had to change the bands in my slingshot yet. But the instructions indicate to wait 24 hours after appling rubbing alcohol to about 1/8 inch of the tips of the new bands being installed before shooting again. I THINK the alcohol causes the bands to shrink and tighten. You may want to see if Trumark has a website and ask someone there.

I synced it every morning for the best tracking of steps and sleep. You are not required to sync every day. I went on a 7 day vacation and did not sync until I returned. There were no losses in data. This was until my band would break, as others have pointed out. I went through 4-5 until the warranty no longer covered me.

Only one band is necessary per person. Word of advice though, try to earth them in the ground outside. Avoid using the electric sockets, they will dose you with "dirty electricity".

Yes, sometimes. Clean any buildup and replace rubber bands...should be good to go.

I've never had them on for more than eight hours at a time. Although I usedThem a lot everyday over the holidays. They worked perfectly for a few weeksThen started changing colors or certain colors wouldn't work. Originally I thoughtI would get more, but now I'm looking for others. I wouldn't recommend for extendedUse.

I have exactly the same problem. I put two bands on at a time--one next to the other. That helps but doesn't completely solve the problem.

It honestly depends on your backpack. The band is very strong and does not let it move around at all. I put mine in my backpack if that is the only thing I need and I've never had a problem.

My thought was for the price when the band starts to fade I will replace. So far no issues!

Not sure what others have done, but I kept mine on my hand continuously for over a month, changing them or cleaning as necessary. I would assume that the more they are worn, the better the results.

No correction collars should be left on a pet for extended periods of time. I think 12 hours is too long. I have never left it on my dogs for more than 8-9 hours. If its not effective on your dog than long periods of time will not change that. It is effective with my dogs I only use it on occasion when they start barking again for example a few times a week does the trick for them.

I've never has that issue personally. The band stays on pretty well and when I have removed it myself it didn't cause any issues when putting back on.

I've only used the dark band and no issues. I wear it continuously unless charging the "bit" or "bean".

you can edit your steps. I do it at night when I load my band up. It is great to beat your goal and adjust your new one. Your calorie intake is your responsibility. The more steps... the more calories you burn. I hope I helped you!

Well, I only used them one time and have not got a chance to use them again. My feeling is that because they are very much like those "support a cause" bands that everyone wears, and the way they work is by pressure on your wrist not any mechanics, they should last for a long time, unless you are wearing them constantly!!!!!

I used mine over 3 business days once and didn't see any loss in signal over those 3 days. I don't know the maximum days of usage, because I usually just recharg them easily overnight (6 hours is all they really need after the first charge).

I would not go beyond 2 hours. We typically change batteries every 2 hours because we have gotten burned beyond this.

The band can be replaced. I have gone to the Timex website and have found replacements.
