The user just needs to raise the wrist to turn the screen on and put the wrist down to turn the screen off and just rotate the wrist to switch screen functions
Anti-Slip Design
The fitness band is made of good quality material with in-mold and dual-color injection molding technology. This, combined with the inverted lock-in design of the body, stops it from slipping off during workouts!

What We Don’t Like
Display is small
The display is tiny, and notifications are just shown in the form of icons and not the complete details about caller, message, or mail. There is no option to respond to calls and messages
Conclusion
