    Just what I needed to go with my new Lumia phone.

    Everything works as expected. Charges fast. Replies texts via the band are amazing. I wish the keyboard on the phone was as good as the one on this band. Only got 4 stars because the battery life leaves something to be desired (when compared to my Pebble) and the screen scratches easily.

    Got it for my wife, and she's loved it. From tracking steps, to calories burned, and tracking how well she sleeps, she's constantly using it.

    Great wearable, I think it's the best in the market, just one inconvenient; it's not waterproof

    The Microsoft Band is an amazing device that does exactly you want it to do. It may not be fancy with lots of features but what it does it does great. For example, the heart rate sensor on it is always on so you get a constant reading which could lead to more accurate calorie burns. The battery life has been great on it so far. It lasts me several days but yet again I bought it only for exercising and not daily use.

    It was a little difficult to set up. A little heavy and clunky at first. And It wouldn't sync with the phone. Also the battery has to be recharged every day. Once everything is in place it is pretty cool.

    The MS Band is a decent fitness tracker. I like the ability to see stocks and weather in addition to the fitness tracking. The golf part of the devise is more of a niche feature that may appeal to some.

    I really like this thing its versatile. The only issue is that the battery doesn't last too long and that it isn't water proof.

    The band had everything that i asked for but after a few days the material on the band started coming out and the battery life was not very good. Buy another brand or an updated one.

    Even with it sized correctly the band fits awkward on your arm making it some what uncomfortable the sides of the band are stiff and thick (believe its where the batteries are located).

    More than a fitness tracker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Microsoft Band is a fantastic 1.0 product. I had a Fitbit Charge HR and it does everything the Charge does plus much more. Pros *Heart rate monitor *GPS (this was lacking on the Fitbit) *Notifications from text, calls, email, Twitter, etc. I find myself keeping the phone in my pocket unless I need to respond *Workout (my favorite) the ability to send a workout routine to my Band is awesome. *Price - higher than a comparable activity tracker but the features above make it a no brainier. Cons *Fit- I must say it isn't nearly as bad as most people are saying. It took me a day to get used to it and now it's just fine *Screen- Since I wear the band with the screen facing down it is prone to scratching. Would recommend a screen protector. *Lack of music - I wish I could stream Spotify or Pandora through the Band. I would never need to carry my iPhone or iPod during a workout.

    Love the MS: Band. Feels funny to take it off since its typically being worn 24/7 (Other than when being charged).

    Too bulky and if you don't have a windows phone most of the selling points won't work. It does work with android. I took it back and got a smartwatch for my needs also saved money.

    This is really a nice product. The calories track seems accurate compared to other brand band. The only drawback it is somewhat uncomfortable to wear. The battery life is more or less two days, and the charge is very quick

    While the functionality of the Microsoft Band is great (notifications, email, fitness tracker), the fit left something to be desired. The rigid, flat face of the band was awkward On my wrist and the band itself was uncomfortable. Additionally, the band loosened quite often. As a fitness tracker with GPS this was a great product but, unless you have a unique wrist, look for a better fit.

    Awesome fitness band. The added golf tracking makes this even better and has proven that Microsoft is in on the product. The only thing i wish it could do was add more tiles (apps) as you are limited to 13. Microsoft Health is a great way to analyze all your data from the band to track your progress
