PSSST! stretching the belts with Velcro straps. When fastening the Velcro strap, I automatically fastened my Tread that was below. When the bracelet is pressed (its diameter is decreased) the tool modules bend to the inside. The result? A painful puncture, cut on the inside of the wrist, and bleeding caused by one of the screwdrivers. The scar looks epic, just like a proper cut during the attempt to commit suicide – along the line of veins. Unfortunately, Tread is not designed for working on a laptop. The width and thickness of the bracelet make it impossible to comfortably position your wrist when writing on the keyboard. Still, writing with Tread on would be a bigger challenge. I am just certain that you would then scratch the surface of your notebook in the spot you placed your wrist on – it happened in my case. Metal rubs metal – you get beautiful scratches in return. For the end, a technical curiosity. I shortened my bracelet, removed four chromed (!) screws, the necessary modules were placed in the box, I assembled the whole bracelet trying to reconstruct its round form and after a week – a surprise, I lose one of the screws connecting the links. Fortunately, I found it just on the same day and I checked all the screws twice and tightened them. Two weeks later, I lost a screw once again... this time it happened when I was in my car, so I was happy to find it on the same day. I tightened, checked, and tightened all the other screws once more. After 3–4 hours (!), I again lost the screw, but this time irretrievably... After the next three weeks of wearing my Tread on, I discovered four (!) loose screws. And guess what? I checked and tightened the screws... I wonder whether the reason for all of this is not caused by the layer of chrome, which decreases the inner resistance between the screw and the thread. I am waiting for another surprise that my Tread is having there for me. I am really happy that it became a part of my everyday wear. TOOLS
