Tested
As reviewed in our 2014 Distance Devices Test – winner of our Gold Award: Lightweight, easy to clip to your bag or slide in your pocket. It’s easy to navigate as there’s only two buttons so it’s difficult to get confused. Small and very thin. I love the features and the classy look. It’s expensive, but worth every penny. The best hole graphics on test. It looks more like a phone than most. The screen is ultra-sensitive and looks like the right size, which makes moving the pointer on the screen a breeze. Plus it works while wearing a glove and you can pair it to your phone, too.
