    The original Microsoft Band was a good fitness tracker, but Mocrosoft learned from their mistakes and made several improvements with their first revision. You can track just about everything you can think of, and control music on your phone, get phone call and text alerts, etc. The Band 2 reminds you when to get up and stretch or go for a short walk. Trust me, those little reminders help! You can tie your Band to many popular fitness sights to track your calories and more!

    My son absolutely loves his Band2, but it has stopped working twice, and we are on our third Band. The first time we returned it to Best Buy, and they were great, we even got some money back, as it was cheaper at the time. The second one we sent back to MS, and they just sent us our third one without any issue. Hopefully, third time's a charm. The problem both times was that it would not charge. Research online showed that this is a widespread issue, so hopefully MS will come up with a permanent fix at some point. In the meantime, we will have to keep our fingers crossed.

    This fitness watch has so many capabilities. I absolutely love that I don't need to constantly check my phone bc my watch will tell me if I am getting a text message, show me the message and allow me to text back. You see calls coming in, you can sync your calendar. It's so interactive! The only reason that I didn't give it a 5 is bc I know of several that have just stopped working. Definitely buy the warranty with this one. Also, the battery only lasts two days.

    I bought the Microsoft Band because it has the golf app/gps built in as well as the activity tracker stuff. The two nines are reversed on my home course but that's no big deal. Everything works really well and the app to configure the band is easy to use. I'd have given it 5 stars except for it's only weakness - its difficult to see it bright sunlight. I knew this would be the case with this type of display but it is frustrating at times. Other than that I love it.

    I wasn't sure exactly how I'd use this activity band at first, but the possibilities are amazing. I especially like the sleep monitoring function as well as the alarm you can set to prompt you to get up and move if you've been sitting too long. It all syncs easily to my iPhone too - a great tool on many levels.

    MS Band 2 fits much more ergonomically and is comfortable with either the screen facing out or behind the wrist (preferred). It syncs consistently with my iPhone, has a longer battery life, charges quickly, is easier to read with bigger screen, feels lighter, and definitely looks better on the wrist. The sleep monitor works great and the GPS for runs is so accurate. Great product that keeps me informed without digging my phone out of my pocket all the time.

    Got this as a gift and am amazed as to all it does. Not only does it keep fitness info but also can be used on the golf course, answer text messages, appointments, sleep, control your smart phone, and keep you up to date on your favorite teams. Has a real solid feel and display is very clear and sharp.

    i was looking for a smartwatch item to motivate me, this does a little buzz and can be progammed, but you can only download one workout at a time Which is very inconvinient for someone with a busy schedule. I need a weekly schedule of workout otherwise I will mess up my ultimate goal of eating right and loosing weight. Also the step count is very inaacurate. By far fitbit and fit surge are number one for a reason. the only thing superior to other products is the workout analysis. Just dissappointing in the coaching part that microsoft promises and it lacks

    Greatest wearable I've ever worn

    This is the best wearable I have ever worn. I started with the original band and it was good. But when my dad got his Apple Watch I liked it so I got that and hated it after a day. I switched back to Microsoft band two and still have it. I absolutely love it. A few years ago I had a Fitbit the Microsoft band is so much better than that. I recommend it. The only problem is that there isn't a lot of software updates, but that is not that big of a problem

    Links seamlessly with my Lumia 640 Windows phone using both Windows 8.1 and now Windows 10. Sends alerts to my phone about relevant news, provides text messaging and also allows me to read snippets of emails I receive. Links to the weather app and can also store Starbucks card info for easy checkout! On top of that, the Band 2 has some of the best fitness software I've seen in a fitness tracker. Has become an indispensable part of my daily life.

    I'm very happy with it for activity tracking .. Running, biking and workouts. The app gives me a very good dashboard and notifications are useful. I can also control music. If u wear it all the time battery only lasts 1 to 1.5 days. I only use it for activity tracking and turn off at night
