    Loved the product. I got it for USD 80 and it's worth every dollar spent. This seems to be working fine for me and I love it. I can check my steps, my sleep, my pulse rate etc & I have downloaded the microsoft health also to track everything. Only downside (not to me) is that its not a curved screen but one has to see how much money I am paying. Recommended

    Average product. The display is a little small. Love the Starbucks tile so I can scan my card from the Band. Battery life is iffy. I don't get much more than 36 hours on a full charge. And that's WITHOUT Bluetooth turned on.

    The band works great. Good for fitness and as a smart watch. It is a little big, but didn't take long to get used to. I enjoy using and wearing it.

    Did not think I would need all the features but surprised at how many I use. Comfortable to wear. Easy to read. Really like the sleep tracker.

    It meets its purpose, what I don't understand is when a scratch-less screen on a wristwatch becomes an accessory. Having to buy screen protectors for a wristwatch is ridiculous. I would recommend this ONLY if your smartphone is a Microsoft phone. Not many others synch to MS phones.

    I love all the available options for keeping track of my fitness goals and up to date social settings for email, Facebook, messages, even an alert for incoming calls. Has all the features of a watch to include an alarm. The biggest downfall is the lack of comfort with the fit of the band, hence my not giving it an overall rating of a 5.

    Fitness Tracker

    This has motivated me to work harder to meet my fitness goals. I set my step, miles, calories burned, exercise goals and then push myself to make them. The heart rate monitor works good not great for accuracy. Its not the most comfortable thing to wear but I am used to it and hardly notice it anymore. It does alot and I have enjoyed it for about a month now. I charge it daily, when I shower. I still have 80% left when I charge it so I am not sure how long it lasts. It takes less than 1/2 hr to fully charge. I would buy it again.

    I love! It is accurate as far as I can see. I especially like that I can track my sleep. It notifies me when I receive a phone call or text before my phone. Set up was a breeze.

    Several of my friends and co-workers have purchased the fitbit and have been very happy with them. I was in the market for the fitbit when I noticed the Microsoft Band. The Microsoft Band has all the features of the FitBit except the battery life but adds text messages, email notifications and more. The battery life is great I average four days to a charge. The steps counter is more accurate than the FitBit as well.

    Best fitness watch for your money

    I originally bought this watch for $129.99 but now runs about $79.99. Surprisingly, it's more accurate than a Fitbit that I bought for a relative in regards to steps and HR. Only reason why I deducted a star is because the display is flat and does not bend to conform to your wrist so the fit is a little awkward.

    I wear it all the time. Originally I just wanted something to count steps but it also monitors sleep. I realize from wearing the band at night that I have sleep Apnea.

    I have really enjoyed this band. It has so many cool features and tracks my walks and hikes via GPS and I found it to be quite accurate. However, It has been only a month since I purchased it and it will no longer charge up, making it useless. I will have to call Microsoft, try to arrange service or replacement. Which is a bit upsetting as it is only a month old, pretty expensive, and now I also have to be without it. Plus it seems that if they don't get this addressed properly it may happen again.

    I found this product highly functional and aesthetically right. The screen protector is a must because the screen will get easily scratched without it.

    This is the best fitness band I have used. Better than fit it and Nike fuelband. It has a lot of functionality. I just wish I could use cortana on Android.

    The Microsoft band is a great fitness band and extension of phone. Its easy to read and respond to text. The programed workouts on the band makes it easier to perform workouts at the gym without having to use your phone or a piece of paper. My one complaint is how big and bulky it is on my wrist.
