How much custom duty did you pay for this? Does DHL pay for you and collect from you or how does it work?

The person I bought the band from attached a bill for 2 bands, totalling 460 USD, so I had to pay INR 4650 as customs duty. If you have the correct bill for only 1 band, it should be less.
DHL paid them on my behalf and I paid the delivery guy. I called customer care beforehand and asked for the customs duty amount in advance.

Mine came with the ZAGG protector. It was a nightmare to install. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get it to stick properly and remove the Yellow part without removing the actual strip. The install results were messy, but today morning when I woke up, I saw that all the bubbles and imperfections had magically disappeared.
Still, get 2 of the screen protectors, just to be safe. Without the screen protector, the display is prone to scratches. Even rubbing with a non micro-fiber cloth causes scratches.

Are you able to see the sleep data in the app? When I open the sleep data in the app, the app crashes all the time.

No, GPS and steps are recorded in run mode. Otherwise GPS remains off to save battery.
I need an US iTunes Account. Does anybody know how to get one without billing Information? I just need it to download the MS Heath App.

Be careful without a screenguard. Even rubbing with a cloth will scratch the screen,

I am in the UK but have friends in the US. If I asked one of them to buy me the band, how would I go about sending them the money? Not sure how to transfer money to the US.

Have decided to go with PayPal. My friend will get it for me when back in stock. Time to retire my Fitbit?

Lol I was just about to ask this question! There must be a way.
I really wanna get this set up on my works iPhone so that I can use the iPhone MFP app and link my steps from my band.
