The GX sweat patch is doing a good job of giving ballpark estimates but doesn’t seem to have the correct dataset yet to give you exact information. The app is a bit confusing and not particularly intuitive but I’m assuming it’s all in the works and will get better with time. Personally not something I would use again but the idea of it is fun.

I took a 1 hour walk, in the sun, around 85 degrees outside. I was dripping with sweat but the patch didn’t catch any of it. This patch is not for people who don’t sweat on their forearm. If I could put it on my arm, stomach or chest it would of caught a lot more sweat. Due to me not sweating on my forearm the app didn’t work for me.

Tried one patch, but maybe it’s me because I don’t really sweat much on my inner forearm. Also, the patch started peeling off as I was working out and then wasn’t really sticky anymore.

It’s a nice water bottle I just don’t care for the cartridges. It’s just another thing to remember. I would rather have a plain old simple water bottle.

I used the sweat patches during a regular 45 minute spinning workout and the other was a 45 minute intense spinning work out. Putting the patch on was easy, just make sure your arm is clean. It did not get in the way of my work out at all. I did notice when doing both workouts, it did not start to fill until the 30 minute mark and I have been sweating pretty good 10 minutes into my workout. This could be because I’m doing my workouts indoors and that I really do not sweat on my arms. Both times it barely filled up to the second line even though I got a good sweat on. You definitely need good natural light when scanning the patch after your work out which is a little hard to do since I am in a dark room after my spinning work out for a few extra minutes to cool down. I did have trouble using the app at first, but the second time it was no problem. I do think I lost more fluid than the patch analyzed. Taking the patch off pulled on the skin a little, but nothing too bad. I did not get any orange ink on my arm like other people who have reviewed this product. I do think that this is a cool and innovative product that can help athletes and active gym goers, but definitely needs some more work. Ultimately for the price point of these patches and how they performed for me, I would not buy them.

It leaked onto my skin. It didn’t really work like it said it would. I think the idea is interesting but it’s not for me and I would never buy it #complimentary #voxbox

First the app crashes constantly and had to restart new account to get the results. Granted the orange dye spilled out of the patch and was on my arm so not sure how accurate it was but I was super curious! Takes a lot for me to sweat so I was working out a long time before it started working…my forearm must be the last place I sweat because it took forever. I’ll try the second patch tomorrow and see if I have better luck.

This is an interesting product that does do mostly what it advertises. It does technically record your sweat rates. However I think the placement of the patch is a bit problematic. If you are doing any exercises that require you to move your arms the patch may come loose and not properly record. I also had a very difficult time actually scanning the patch into the app. It took my several tries. The camera would merely not pick up or recognize the pact. Because of this, the patch is clumsy to use and seems unnecessary. The app basically just told me to drink water and eat protein after my workout (nothing I couldn’t find on the internet by myself) I was gifted this complementary for reviewing purposes but all my opinions are my own and mine alone.
