The bracelet is too large for a woman and too heavy. The idea of having medical history is great. I plan on carrying the bracelet in my purse because I can't wear it.

Comments about MD Alert™ Bracelet:
I bought both Silver and Gold. I love them with the exception of being too big, had to have a Jeweler cut some links out and the clasps are too flimsy. The clasps on both Bracelets broke in half.

it's great to have a medical I'd bracelet but this one must be made for Godzilla. The bracelet is so big it slides right off my hand and there isn't anyway to adjust the size of it. I will be returning this item.

Comments about MD Alert™ Bracelet:
This is a great idea; I bought the Silver, it's heavy and expensive looking; I had no problem with the safety clasp and I sized it myself. I put all my info, a picture, my living will, DNA and POA on it and still have room.
You can wear it to the doctors office and let them use it in their computer to update your medical files.
What I really would like to know is: "Is this Waterproof." It states Water Resistant in the little folder but can I wear it when I swim or am on the boat. The pamplet is very small print, however, it is a duplicate of what is on the USB so you really don't have to read it.
I wish I'd had one of these for my husband it would have made things so much easier on doctor and hospital trips.

I like the idea that everything can be included from the pc via the usb. I don't like that it's 9 inches. I took it to a jewelry store and they said they couldn't shorten it because it was stainless steel. I don't know how hard it will be to find someone that works with stainless steel. You should offer 7 1/2 inches, 8 1/2 inches too.
