Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the sleep tracking, notifications, price, GPS, and ease of use of the Band Smartwatch (Small). They find the sleep tracking to be a bonus feature, appreciate receiving notifications for calls, emails, texts, and Facebook messages, and consider the price to be reasonable for the features offered. The built-in GPS is also well-received, and many users find the watch easy to use.However, customers have concerns about the battery life, durability, size, design, and comfort of the watch. The battery life is seen as rather short, and some users have experienced issues with the watch falling apart after a few months of use. The size and design of the watch are also mentioned as drawbacks, with some users finding it bulky and uncomfortable, especially on skinny wrists.

    I really like the Microsoft Band. For the price, I chose this one over the Microsoft Band 2. I was using the Nike Fuelband, and I still like how the Fuelband fits better. It was more like a bracelet. A lot of people really complained about the fit of the original Band, but I like it. It's comfortable and I never notice it. The added phone integration is GREAT. I can see who's calling and read messages without having to hunt for my phone. Golf integration is also a great plus.

    For the price, it is easily the most full featured and powerful of the fitness trackers. Only downside is waterproof intolerant. Love the sleep capability, pedometer tells me I am getting more than enough walking in daily. Starbucks app keeps my phone and wallet in my pocket! Love this device.

    I like that I can see my text message and phone calls without having to look at my phone. They were out of the protective covers and the salesman told me it wouldn't scratch very easily, well it did get scratched up the very first day and I don't really like the band, as it is kinda of rubber like and it is all scratched as well. Overall I do like the it and I am happy with it just wish I had gotten the protective covers for the face.

    This is a great band with just a couple exceptions. I wish it had a stair-climbing feature, it doesn't store pulse rate to review later, and the band itself is bulky. I know the next gen will resolve a couple of these issues but in a nutshell it is a very good product.

    I purchased this for one of my younger kids and she seems to really like it. It has some nice features that others in this price range lack. It is well constructed, but is a bit uncomfortable on skinny wrists. Setup was fairly easy and it synced well with her phone.

    I got this for fitness but I enjoy all of the features. I can check message and see phone calls during workouts to see if they are important or not. Connects easily with iphone and I have had no problems.

    I bought this as an activity tracker with additional features. I like the golf app, the running and biking gps etc. It is not as comfortable as I would like and I think they new this discounting a "new" item as they are already selling Microsoft Band 2s.

    I really like the band, but if you don't have a windows phone you loose some of the great features of the band, overall I like it and recommend it above other activity trackers. It offers so much more, email, text,phone calls, sleep activity, and cortana if you have windows phone

    The band from Microsoft does what it advertises. I use it daily and it has been a great help in monitoring my heart rate. steps, calories burnt and more. The best feature is ability to receive texts, calls and reply to texts. If the design was more ergonomic, it would really be great but it is a good first start. I look forward to the 2nd generation band.

    Microsoft made a great product. For being their first smart watch, they hit a homerun. The interface is simple and intelligent, Cortana runs great and it syncs smoothly with every mobile OS. The only downside is the frame scratches easily. Would highly recommend using a screen protector that covers the entire frame. Mine scratched after the first day of use. other than that you will not be disappointed
