The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Two listings can share a brand and model number and still target different buyers, and that is the case here. This GYMENIST 43237-2 comes in silicone rather than fabric, weighs 2 pounds rather than 4, and costs $9.99, making it the cheapest ankle weight in this comparison and noticeably lighter than its own fabric counterpart.
Against the field, the price advantage is clear. The Cando 10-0193 costs $19.09, the Graham-Field 1897 costs $15.41, and the Theraband 25871 costs $22.49, all more than double this listing's $9.99. Its 1,200 reviews at 4.3 stars sit ahead of the Cando's 128 and Graham-Field's 169, though behind the Theraband's 1,500 and the Fitvids BFAW-1.5GR's 31,500.
The jogging and running feature tags line up with the lighter 2-pound weight, distinguishing it from the same brand's heavier fabric model built for general resistance work. Bought last month sits at 50+, ahead of the 0+ shown for the Cando, Graham-Field and this listing's own fabric sibling, though still behind the Theraband's 100+ and the Fitvids' 600+. That combination of a low price, a moderate review count and steady recent demand makes it a reasonable entry point for anyone new to ankle weight training.

Performance notes
At 2 pounds, this GYMENIST 43237-2 listing sits closer to the Fitvids BFAW-1.5GR's roughly 3-pound pair than to the heavier 4-pound designs from the Graham-Field 1897 or the same brand's fabric version. That lighter load fits the jogging and running feature tags on the listing, since a heavier weight strapped to the ankle during faster movement adds more joint stress than it would during walking or standing exercises. Silicone as a material is a different choice than the fabric or neoprene used elsewhere in this comparison, likely aimed at a closer, non-slip fit for higher-motion activity. At $9.99, it undercuts every other listing here by at least $5, which combined with the lighter weight suggests this version is built for volume and accessibility rather than maximum resistance per dollar.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 1,200 reviews puts this listing in the middle of the pack for both rating and sample size, ahead of the Cando 10-0193 (128 reviews) and Graham-Field 1897 (169 reviews) in review volume, but behind the Theraband 25871 (1,500) and well behind the Fitvids BFAW-1.5GR (31,500). The 50+ bought last month figure signals more current demand than the 0+ shown for three of the other listings referenced here, though it still trails the Theraband's 100+ and the Fitvids' 600+. Overall the pattern points to a steady, moderately popular budget option rather than either a runaway bestseller or a niche, unproven listing.
