The Microsoft Band (and the latest model, the Band 2) is a fitness device that people are supposed to wear on their wrists. It has various sensors that calculate your heart rate, sleep, calories etc., as well as a few smartwatch features.

What do you think about this device?

This does look interesting but the only thing i would use of microsoft is Windows OS.

The Microsoft Smartband is something I am unlikely to own because there are cheaper products which do the same thing. I also feel the Apple Watch is a nicer, and more useful smartwatch because it has more apps, and will be supported by Apple, and App makers in the future.

I agree about the lack of apps, but design-wise, the Microsoft Band 2 seems slicker and more futuristic-looking than the Apple Watch.

I like the design of the Apple Watch more even if it looks less futuristic. The Apple Watch looks more like a classic watch which you can wear to a nice restaurant, or party.

Plus, the Apple Watch comes in different colors, and you can buy different watch bands/straps to attach to the watch strap holder to make it look different.

There are also a lot of clock apps to change the design of the watch's clock.

I know Nintendo tried something like this with their wii, but it never made it to the market. Hopefully MS can pull it off.

Not this again, my classmate been talking about getting it before it was even released. Last year. And he was going to sell his old fit bit to me. Anyway it got released and he was still thinking about it and now no interest. Reasons because it will never get release in Australia....

Yeah, it hasn't been imported in Romania either... But he could just order it on eBay...
