incoming messages and calls. You can even use the SmartBand to control media
playback on your Android™ device.

information about your step count as well as data about your walking, running and
sleeping, and life bookmarks. Your SmartBand can store this data for up to two
weeks.

Android™ device is Android™ 4.4 or later and that your Android™ device supports the
