Hi Eleanor and all,
I have only dictated in my normal way but using the wrist band, because it's running, as the microphone in question. I have used Siri with the double tap method on the band but once got it work (when I was in good range of my phone) but didn't on the other occasion (further away.) I need to play more with that.
I did read in the small booklet that you can also jump from track to track on the music by using the volume buttons, but I haven't got that to work as yet. I think that may be a double tap and perhaps I can't tap quickly enough.
You're also supposed to be able to hold the Answer/End button (middle) if you want to reject an incoming call. Again, if you're not in a call, that Answer/End button also redials the last number. (Not tried that yet either.)Play/pause music is also possible when you're listening, again using the Answer/End.
I have also been able to hear a slight click at turnoff if I've had my ear to the speaker but otherwise get no other indication that the band is off until I go to use the phone and check that way.
I have, incidentally, decided to wear that watch on my right hand, to keep my left free for a dog and also my normal watch on the left wrist. With the on/off button in the No 6 position, the microphone is on the lefthand edge, so I don't see that this makes any difference at all to recording. I'm happy enough with that arrangement.
They do have a Twitter address, if anyone wants to follow: It's @bemwirelessco (all one word).
Oh, I have also worked out that you have two volumes to set for maximum sound and I'm sure most who want this speaker will probably hear it fine if these are adjusted, so remember to adjust both the volume up on the phone, as speech is being spoken and also on the wristband.
Hope these comments help. Please let me know if you have success in getting these taps to work.

Hi Steve

This must mean it is your birthday. I hope you have a happy day.

Will you be coming to the exhibition at Newcastle St James' Park in
September with all your goodies?
