    This device works well but battery is very short. It's about a day worth of just no use but only notices. When using for activities like walking/running using gps with battery saver, battery is very short. I can do about 2.5 hours for a half marathon walking and barely squeak by with a full charge. Since I can't edit my work outs, if the battery dies, I lose my complete data for a session like this. I can walk another 13-16 miles easily, but, it's annoying to have incomplete work outs being logged. MS is doing well with updates to help out more, but don't know if they'll be able to update it to correct the battery life. If you have a full charge and go to bed, you'll wake up with close to half a battery. You'll need to drop off the heart rate as well to make it last longer than just half battery while sleeping. If you need just a pedometer, this item works very well. The best bet would be a Garmin for serious athletes. This is just my 2 cents. You Miles May Vary

      Hello Simonsays33, The amount of time your Band 2 batteries last varies depending on how you use your Band. The batteries have limited recharge cycles (1,000 complete recharge cycles) and cannot be replaced. For tips and tutorials for increasing your battery life, please visit: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-band/en-us/support/hardware/battery-and-charging . We apologize for the frustration this has caused and this hope this was helpful to you. Microsoft

    Had first one replaced after 6 months due to battery no longer charging. On second one currently. Otherwise no problems. High quality withstands a lot of abuse, wear it all the time unless charging. Enjoy using gps on hikes.

    Great combo fitness band smartwatch. I only wish it was waterproof and the battery stayed charged longer than two and a half days. All in all, its a great band I highly recommend it.

    I have had the first gen Band and Band 2 is quite different from it. The band is wider and the sizes are not the same. The increased functionality was worth the upgrade. I use the biking app quite a bit and I like the battery saver mode on the gps. I don't know if it will hit the 4 hour mark like they say, but it definitely lasts a couple hours of tracking my ride. It also works great with the iphone and obviously windows phone.

    Technology wise one of the best fitness trackers and ahead of all other trackers in what it packs in it's little body, but MS was a little too late to enter the market and not possible to get the much needed "network effect" that a Fitbit or Gear commands. On the whole, though the product is great, it's no use in the real world and now more so, since MS pulled the plug on the product

    What I Like (functions I use): Step and calorie (burned) tracking, HR monitor, workout tracker shows time elapsed, HR and calories, sleep tracker, get texts, phone call and Facebook notifications. Syncs with the app on your phone to show very detailed analysis of your workouts and sleep patterns. You can also track your weight on the phone app. What I don't particularly like and I'm being very picky here: Not so sure off the accuracy of the step, floor, and calorie counter, but I know it's an estimation. The HR monitor is inconsistent during workouts, but any wrist worn HR monitor will be. HR monitor seems to work well when I'm not on the elliptical. I charge it every time I shower, otherwise will get battery notification after 1.5 days. Overall: I've had this device for about a month and I love it. I wear it all day, everyday (except in the shower and pool). It's comfortable. I love the functionality, features, and integration with the app.

    I love my Microsoft Band 2. Highly accurate. Lots of features. Connects to my iOS phone! Took a few days to get used to the feel of it. Now I hardly notice it's there, unless it vibrates to give me a notification.

    I'm really enjoying my Band 2! With 11 sensors working on it, there is not much it can't track. It's pretty comfortable if worn with the screen on the inside of your wrist. I like the display and the notifications. It's like having a watch without having the bulky face.

    Accurate on everything its advertised for. Love that you can do the golf on it as well. Just download the coarse on your phone and sync it to the band. At this price I love the fact that it has the gps built in. Maps my rides very well. The sleep tracker works well too.
