The Microsoft Band is the first fitness smartband from Microsoft and while it doesn’t look super slick and sexy Microsoft has backed the band with more features and sensors than any other on the market. Yes 10 sensors to ensure the band tracks everything you need in your health and fitness growth. It various functions include, monitoring your heart rate 24 hours a day so you can perform at your best, and yes its that accurate to give you constant heart rate monitoring . Map the routes you’ve run, biked, or hiked and save your favorites. Also use guided workouts from Microsoft health to improve you fitness regiments
The Microsoft Band also has some smartwatch capabilities like email previews and calendar alerts appear right on your wrist so you know what you have to do and where you have to be even on the go. And with help from Cortana on your Windows Phone. Allow you to receive and view all your incoming notification while shedding those pounds during your work out. The Microsoft band is rated to have up to two day battery life, which sounds great but in all honesty is closer to a day and half. Which isn’t bad just wished we got up to a week on all these wearable devices.
