It just feels like something that can't break or damage with ease, although we found that it's quite easy to scratch it.Īnd speaking of scratches, that's one of the problems with the Band. Available in three different sizes, L, M, and S, the rubber band is as soft as it is durable. There are two buttons available, lock and action, so it's easy to start a new exercise even if the watch is already on your wrist. The Band can be worn as a regular watch or on the inside of the wrist, so it all depends on how you feel it more comfortable. The Band might not feel comfortable at first when doing certain moves, but it certainly feels right after a few days with it. And that's indeed a setback, but just like we’ve said before, there's a learning curve here too. We've heard quite a lot of people complaining that the display is just too wide and it doesn't feel natural at all when doing lots of things, such as pulling anything out of the pocket with the hand wearing the Band. The Band comes with a 1.4-inch TFT 320x106px touchscreen display, so you're able to access its features by simply tapping the screen with the other hand. One of the most criticized things about the Band concerns the dimensions and the shape of the display. It might not feel comfortable at first, but don't worry because, once again, it's just a matter of time until you forget it's there.Īfter all, it weighs only 60 grams, so it's actually lighter than your regular watch. When you put it on for the very first time, the Band suddenly becomes the kind of device you wouldn't mind wearing on a daily basis. Trust us, it looks odd because it's not on your wrist. The design of the device seems odd at first, but it's all just a matter of time until you get used to it. Microsoft Band isn't really the most innovative product you can find in the wearable industry, but it certainly comes with features that could impress many of those who'd like to keep an eye on their physical condition all the time. Many years ago, Apple was considered the most innovative company in the world, but these days, Microsoft just seems to innovate more than any of its rivals does (HoloLens anyone?).

Therefore, the company made it available on key markets across the world and it shouldn't be too difficult to get one right now no matter where you live. It's available for only $199 (€150) and went on sale globally soon after its public launch, with Microsoft saying that demand across the world skyrocketed after the limited debut in the United States. The device is packed with sensors, comes with a touch-capable display, promises a full two-day battery, and works with all mobile platforms out there thanks to cross-platform Bluetooth support. Launched in late 2014, Microsoft Band is a device that's not a smartwatch per se, but more of a wristband that can help you track fitness with smartwatch capabilities always available. That was the question Microsoft tried to answer with the Band. Who needs an extension to a phone when our handsets already do pretty much everything you can think of? “An extension to our phones” - that's a weird phrase. We live in a world where smartwatches are still a new concept that's yet to take off, but more and more companies decide to invest in this side of the industry and bring out their very own devices supposed to help us stay connected at all times and get an extension to our phones that could help track fitness more easily.
