I reviewed several smart watches out there and decided on the Microsoft Band. It's got the most features and is Great for email, text and caller id notification and short runs less than a half marathon unless not using the Bluetooth. I really appreciate the HR and sleep monitoring. Looking forward to blood oxygen monitoring. Thanks Microsoft for my first smart watch.

Not near as bulky as I thought it would be. Its great, especially for business when your phone is on the other side of the room. Hear rate monitor locks quickly.

I never had a gadget like this before and it's been great but it hurts my wrist a bit after a while of wearing it. It is a little awkward but pretty cool. I just hate that you have your phone and gadget going off at the same time but it's nice when you're working out. I just wish you could put more auto responses. Overall I love it and love the sleep option too.

I have used it more than a month, and it is just beyond my expectations. It is easy to use and also very functional. The only downside is battery - I have to charge it almost every other day. But still I like it a lot and strongly recommend it.

Great Watch with Room to Grow

This should get 4 1/2 stars. The band works amazing in everything it is advertised to do. The biggest factor I will point out is the built in GPS this is unlike the apple watch and makes this much more functional. Also the bike riding app is amazing! My sister has a fitbit and the steps and miles match up perfectly. This watch though does have room to grow in the smart watch category. I feel it will though in the future

Dislike: sleep mode to the best of my knowledge also disables the alarm. Not very pretty. Golf function needs more courses and to work better
Likes: Love the texting and responding features. Like the vibrating alarm. Syncs with the calendar. Wear it almost all the time

Good band with sensor capabilities

It's a great band with plenty of sensors and growing SW capabilities updates. It stands out from other wearable based on its standalone capabilities - working without phone being around, various exercise and GPS tracking capabilities (running, biking, general gym, etc). Its battery last for ~3 days with charging for 2-3 hrs, perfectly built for daily used.
Cons: it's not very comfortable to wear it 24x7.

Everything about how it operates was great. I love the apps that it had and the design. Was very stylish and had no operational issues. However, I owned 2 and had to return each because the heart rate sensor would always bubble and look as if it was decaying. I did not trust it with my skin for every day use.

Integration with my phone, Health app & Cortana is excellent!
Battery usage is good. I charge it while in the shower every morning and that does the trick.
I love the sleep tracking. This is the biggest surprise.
