Does the wrist band come with the original packaging? If not, do most retailers stock this? With the step count I am interested in trying this out as my daily watch. And it doesn't bother me that it would be on the big side as a watch.
No, it does not.
Some retailers add it as a gift, some don't.
That's what I get from Fiio Customer Service at support@fiio.com

"It is equipped with a high precision pedometer chip. I have a FitBit Blaze fitness tracker which counts the amount of steps quite correctly (I counted 1000 steps which I made and compared it to the amount of Blaze readings. The difference was from 3 to 6 steps for one thousand steps made). The difference of indications between Blaze and Fiio M5 makes 2-3 steps. Most likely, they use the identical algorithm of step calculation. It’s obvious that Fiio has set for itself a target to create such a device without which the user could not do a single day. And in my opinion this task has been executed successfully."

I decided to put together my impressions about Fiio M5 player. It will be short.
What I like:
1. Small size;
2. Bluetooth receiver supported codecs;
3. Relatively simple GUI.
What is a big loss for me:
1. Bookmarks. I would like to have the ability to use them for long books listening, different ones with musical brakes. So far, it is impossible.
2. Good equalizer, for precise tuning of my hearing/headphones. The current five-band equalizer is a joke. The 10 bands minimum, 20 better and 31 is ideal. Without good equalizer sound is barely acceptable for me, compared to my LG V20 capabilities. Do not take me wrong, with FiiO Music app and no equalization on LG V20 and M5, they sound almost identical.
What is not a deal braking, but not good, as well:
1. M5 cannot play DSD files longer than 2 GB, cannot copy to the memory files longer than 4 GB;
2. M5 cannot play ALAC (.m4a) files;
3. M5 cannot recognize FLAC cue files;
4. Bluetooth receiver is not as easy to control as on BTR3, but audio power is higher than on BTR3, if you need it;
5. On my PC in the DAC mode, it only can go up to 24 bit 192 kHz;
6. Fiio android FiiO Music app cannot recognize M5;
7. My Toyota Bluetooth cannot recognize M5 transmitter.
What is good:
SMALL SIZE.
Summarizing all together:
For me it is a good, relatively expensive, toy... Will keep it.
Changes:
1. Added quick search function in track lists;
2. Added 'Recently Added' playlist;
3. Added support for external m3u playlists;
4. Added support for swiping on a long track name to view it in full length;
5. Fixed issue where some tracks might be played improperly;
6. Fixed issue where the date displayed in the lock screen was still in 24-hour format even after setting it to 12-hour format;
7. Improved the system stability;

5. Added "All Songs" under Category -> Artist, which brings together all the songs of the selected artists. That’s from m3k firmware. The M5 needs this

Sorry, I thought you were writing this update is not for M5 but for m3k altogether.
To me they've fixed most of the main issues in this update.
The main problem for me was not solved, though. The player still does not read correctly Russian tags in m4a fromat.
