    Syncs to any phone, notifications on most apps, music control through it, GPS ,really accurate, just a fully featured activity tracker.. Will beat any of the others. It's also comfortable and excellent made quality. I got not complaints except wish it's battery charge lasted longer then 2 days.

    Device was easy to sync with iPhone and get downloads. Great tracker, GPS acquires fix quickly. Love the features and now updates have added music control among other updates. Dramatically better device than the Band1. Glad I waited.

    The Band 2 is lacking many features and options to customize. Would benefit from a better battery, options to change band colors. Clasp is over sized and uncomfortable, takes awhile to get used to wearing. Portrait mode would option be nice. Also the Health app could use an over haul, The only time I find myself using it is when I want to add or change tiles.

    Hands down, the best fitness band that I've used thus far- and it's the 4th I've owned. Everyone was trying to push me towards the Apple Watch, but that's centered more towards apps and not as much towards fitness. Being an avid runner, I was gravitating more to this band, and I'm glad I did!

    This band is way more accurate at measuring steps than my fitbit was, tracking my sleep has also been very helpful. Since getting this band I have lost some weight and am more aware of my health and staying active. Once the weather warms up some I look forward to using more of the activity functions. I don't use this as a smartwatch per se but I do enjoy being able to check the emails and text messages that come in, and sometimes I use it to send a quick "ok" reply via text message. The Cortana updates are also handy. Overall this thing rocks and I highly recommend it. My wife just bought one and she says "I can't believe how light it is".

    My Band 2 has been working out pretty good. Even though I have an android phone it seems to not have a problem interfacing. And it has all the features of an activity tracker and most of the features of a smart watch. So if that's what your looking for I'd recommend the Band 2.

    The Band is a great activity tracker and heart monitor. It's pretty accurate. The features integrated with the phone are also nice to have features. I enjoyed the band for 6 months before the rubber strap began to crack close to the screen. Apparently it's a common issue with the device. I spoke with Microsoft support and sent it in for replacement but because there was a tiny scratch on the screen they couldn't replace the device. It was too defective to replace, so they shipped it back with an arrow pointing to the minor scratch. I eventually taped up the device and continue to use it. I stopped using it to monitor my sleep as that can add more damage to the strap. Outside of the strap issue with he device is great.

    The capabilities of the band 2 are excellent and Android integration is breeze. You get good useful data and the app makes it easy to look through and evaluate. The only negative I've found is the Band 2 works best with the screen worn on the inside of your wrist instead of the outside. This is due to the screen orientation. It has taken me some time to change my habits from my old Timex. Otherwise I like it.

    I had been wanting a fitness band for a while but wasn't sure of which one to get. After months of research I bought the Microsoft Band 2, and I love it. It has all the features that you want and more. It is super easy to use and is compatible with any phone you use.

    It's a bit bulky and the charge lasts about two days. I've gotten use to the size and I charge while I'm in the shower after my workouts. This works with keeping it charged. I love the tracking for my workouts and with the Band has doubled my Calories burned!

    Wife initially had the FitBit Charge and it did not work well with her Windows Phone so I decided to upgrade her to this band and it syncs flawlessly with the phone. She loves it and wears it everyday all day. Only thing Microsoft needs to do now is make nicer bands for it so it would look good with other outfits.

    Best Tracker

    This is hands down the best tracker. The data that it accumulates is unbelievable & very detailed. I think it's a great deal at $175 (not sure what the price is as I write this review) compared to what similarly priced trackers can do. I have a Windows phone, so that probably makes the data transfer a little easier. Don't purchase this & think it's a Smart Watch. While it does have some of these features, & they are nice to have, the Band 2 excels as a tracker. If you approach it as buying the best fitness tracker on the market, you won't be disappointed. I knocked off 1 star because the app still seems a bit unpolished, & the band itself could be a little less bulky. I would rate it a 4.5.

    Yes, my Microsoft Band 2 small is fantastic! It keeps track of everthing! The only draw back is the BATTERY DIES NOT LAST LONG! I use it to track my sleep each night, have to charge it about every 3 days or less. Please address this issue. Thank you, Judi

    I looked at a lot of bands and compared them. This fit better then most has more options, and more sensors. The look is great, only down fall is battery needs charging about every other day. Best thing is the customizability, and links for free to any pc.
