Fitness Technologies UwaterG4 4GB Waterproof MP3 Player Reviews

By robert n. from ma. on 4/20/2013

I love my new mp3 player. . I WORK OUT 1 HOUR A DAY IN THE POOL AND TILL NOW IT WAS VERY BORING.  Now i have my music to listen to. my only problem is the battery charge only last 2 and 1/2 hours so half way through my 3rd. hour the battery dies.  To start i gave it a full charge and then ran it down before charging again. I thought it would last 5 hours.but i still love it.   Robert.

I got this as a reward for reaching a distance goal with my swimming. This is a treat! Yes, the transition to the MP3 format on the computer was a little painful, but the effort has paid off very nicely. I can use it during my non-water workouts, and when I''m in the pool I can avoid those folks who want to chat instead of swim. I have a little beef with the shuffle replaying the same tune several times, but I picked the tunes, so I can change them!

Really good sound for walking, but it is difficult to keep consistant sound while lap swimming. The ribbed ear plugs cause air preasure inside of the ear that interfears with sound and the smooth plugs work thier way out of the ear while swimming. And the clip broke.

It''s incredibly light and small. hasn''t been used for the full range of workouts yet but doing well so far.

I had problems downloading music to this product, then when it finally did, it would not play.  Returned and ordered the waterfi iPod, return department and customer service was great!

One of the ear buds has a lower level than the other and I would like to know if that is normal?

Works great underwater and there were no problems with loading music, but the device itself isn''t meant to last. Unlike the ipod shuffles, this one has a slip-clip on the back that could easily snap off and break.
The device didn''t come with a headband as pictured, but I would recommend clipping it to either a thin goggle strap or a headband for use.

The earbuds are a little tricky to keep in your ears due to the small size and the shape, but if you pull your cap over them while swimming, they will stay in place.

Overall, I''m glad I made the purchase, but if you''re looking for a long-term investment, I would recommend the underwater ipod.

This one seems to be working much better than the first one I had purchased and had to return. Swimoutlet.com has an exceptional customer service department!

Love, love, love!!!!! I use for interval pool training.  You can load a playlist that is coordinated to your workout.  This really helps me to control the intensity of the workout.  I am one of those people who doesn''t like goggles or a cap when I swim.  This little player clips nicely on to my swim suit.  Only negative is that the instructions for uploading music are not as clear as I would have liked.  It did take me a bit to figure it out, but once I did, it is really very easy to do the upload.  You can''t upload directly from your iTunes playlist.  You have to go to your computer''s Music files and then drag and drop into the drive for the player.
