    Its a great product but my piece lasted only 3 months. It turns off abruptly and when I connect back to the charger, it shows 85%. Seller return policy is just for 10 days, so you wont get a replacement as well. Can't imagine the return policy for an expensive product being 10 days. I just keep this piece in show case now.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Met my expectations
    Reviewed in the United States on 7 February 2016

    I've had the Band 2 for about two months now, and I have found it to be what I hoped it would be. It tracks my steps throughout the day, it tracks my runs, it tracks my sleep, it notifies me of texts and calls, and it reminds me of things. Those are the functions I've used the most.

    The step tracker has been very accurate for me. It tracks my steps with my hands in my pockets, while I'm carrying a suitcase, or while I'm swinging my arms freely. It does seem to need a few steps to "get going," but after that, it counts steps well.

    The run data is the best I've ever had, though I have to admit the only thing I've used in the past is a phone and a paired chest heart rate monitor. I didn't like having the monitor strapped to my chest, so I rarely used it. The Band is much better for me. Distance and speed both seem to be accurate. It has taken a while for the GPS to lock on usually, but I can just start and it will track my steps and then lock on to GPS after a little while.

    The sleep data has been great, and it has helped me learn a lot about my sleep. For example, when I go to bed late (after midnight), I have much less deep sleep, which explains that even when I sleep a fair number of hours, I don't feel as rested when I go to bed late. Also, I like that it monitors heart rate throughout the night so I can compare heart rate with sleep and wake cycles.

    I have missed far fewer phone calls and texts because of the Band 2 notifications. Occasionally, if I'm doing something active, I won't notice the buzzing on my wrist, but I have far fewer missed communications now. I rarely use the reply function on the Band. I mostly just notice when someone is trying to get a hold of me.

    Similar to the call and text functions, the reminders help keep me on task and get me to the right place at the right time. I also like being able to glance at my calendar, see what emails are coming through, and catch up on some headlines.

    At first, the Band was a little uncomfortable, but I adjusted to it in a few days. Now, I don't usually notice it. It is helping me to be more aware of my fitness, and it has demonstrated to me that I'm not burning as many calories each day as I thought I was. This helps explain my lack of weight loss.

    I didn't get a screen protector, and my screen has a few very small scratches that I can see if I hold it in the sunlight and look for them. I do not take it easy on my Band, and it is holding up really well so far.

    After a couple of weeks, my Band started to smell. I hadn't been wiping it down, and it was emitting a noticeable unpleasant odor (sort of like smelly feet). I was afraid I would have to take drastic measures, but I looked up the care instructions, and they just said to wipe the thing down with a towel. I was dubious, but I did as instructed, and it took care of the problem. I wipe it down each day or two now (takes about 30 seconds), and the smell has not returned.

    Quick tip: In lieu of a "find my phone" feature, you can use the Band to start playing music on your phone. Turn the volume all the way up, and then walk around your house trying to locate the music. I end up doing this more than I care to admit, but I save time because I don't spend much time looking for my phone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Big Improvement on Band v1 [detailed review]
    Reviewed in the United States on 7 November 2015
    Verified Purchase
    With a caveat that is may be 4.5 stars if you aren't a Windows Phone user.

    I've worn my Band 2 continuously for about a week now, put it through its paces, and I think I've had enough experience with it to review a device that, by design, stays strapped to you 23.5 hours every day.

    First hardware, the weakest link in the device.

    The Band 2's hardware is a significant upgrade over that of the Band 1, and I believe that it's about as good a physical design as present technology permits. The display is curved and the bulky battery is in the thick nub of the clasp. The material of the band is a well designed polymer that is comfortable and doesn't catch hair or cause you to sweat under the device. The choice of making the clasp bulky (a design which juts the clasp out over the top of your wrist when you wear the Band in the recommended under-the-wrist manner) is the best of the bad options. Battery technology is what is is, and you have to incorporate 36 hours' worth of power somehow. This configuration is an improvement over placing the batteries next to the display and thus ruling out a curved design.

    Another downside of the clasp is that it becomes the most visible feature of the Band. The polished metal is very pretty when new, but it has already collected a couple of scratches. In a few months it will be unsightly.

    The clasp can be easily adjusted to a fine degree, and the device largely achieves the goal of fading into the background once you get used to wearing it. I find it does not mess up my typing or any other activity, though it pinches a little when I drive. A quick loosening of the band before getting in the car solves this. You generally want to keep the band tight enough to maintain firm contact - most inaccuracies in the data collected come about because of inconsistent contact between sensors and skin. The clasp bump occasionally pokes uncomfortably, but that's probably just a quirk of my knobbly wrists.

    The display is bright, sharp, gorgeous and perfectly responsive. Being made of Gorilla Glass 3 means it is extremely resistant to both shattering and scratching. I haven't felt the need to use a screen protector (though I wouldn't risk wearing it in a rock climbing gym, no need to push your luck).

    Battery life has been adequate for my routine, which is to only have it on the charger while I am in the shower and reading the paper in the morning. Otherwise I'm wearing it all day and night. I'm not a runner, but I suspect that if you use the run tracking feature in GPS mode (for best accuracy) then you'd have to leave it off for the 90 minutes for a full recharge that night or the next morning.

    The sensors themselves monitor everything. Heart rate, temperature, galvanic skin response, UV light, even O2 burn rates (once it has some experience with your biometrics). It has built-in GPS, step counter, all the whizz-bangs to collect a vast array of performance data from your body. I have great faith in the accuracy of the real-time calorie burn counter. The level of data collection here is definitely superior to other fitness bands, and the presentation of the information is fantastic. Full marks.

    One disappointment to the design is the lack of waterproofing. This is because of some of the most advanced sensors, which can't work while shielded to that degree. The Band is rated to IPV6, which means that bring caught in the rain with it is fine, but take it off for showers, swimming and maybe cleaning the dishes. Given the wealth of sensors on the device I might have chosen to leave off a couple of the more esoteric ones and make the thing waterproof so I could log swimming workouts and just not have to worry about water in general.

    With the hardware out of the way, the rest of the Band experience as a fitness tracker is great. The Health app software integrates with Runkeeper and MyFitnessPal, which means that tracking your calorie inputs and exercise patterns is seamless and easy. The Health is app is terrific, giving you a dashboard of all your activity/health stats as well as being the platform for loading new Band apps and tweaking most the device's own settings. The real data mine is the web-based Health dashboard, which is an impressively powerful tool for digging into your activity over time. A number of third party apps enhance the functionality, with lots more (for example, an Uber app that lets you order up a ride from your wrist) on the way.

    There are dedicated apps for running, cycling and golf. I don't really do any of those things much, but they seem to work very well. For other types of workout just hit the generic "workout" button and the Band tracks your activity and your body's response very accurately.

    The sleep tracking function deserves a mention. The Band tracks all of your sleep metrics, including how long it took you to fall asleep, how many times you woke up and what periods of your sleep were light or heavy (REM). All of this is displayed in a rich and well-designed format. It calculates the quality and efficiency of your sleep for you. All of this info is fascinating to me.

    Having the fitness tracker has made a huge difference to my diet and exercise patterns in a short time. There's nothing like having real-time, empirical data on your calorie burn and food log on your wrist to keep you on track.

    The other element of the Band is the smartwatch. If you have a Windows Phone you can access Cortana on your wrist with a keypress. Otherwise you'll just be able to use notifications. Notifications are extremely valuable to me as an office worker with a ton of incoming messages. I can see whether an email or text is urgent and decide whether to pull out my phone. This saves me hundreds of instances of pulling out and unlocking my phone per day. It also reduces range anxiety from my cell phone - no longer do I trek back and forth across the house because I keep leaving my phone in another room.

    Keep in mind that these really are just notifications. You'll see the header and a few lines of text, which is usually enough to tell you whether you need to go to your phone or computer immediately. There is a keyboard feature, but it is functionally useless. You will craft your replies on another device, unless you have a WP and are in a spot quiet enough to wrestle with Cortana's voice recognition. If you do have a WP then Cortana is good for making short, simple messages in reply. Having Cortana on your wrist is also handy for alarm setting, translations, alerts, calendar adjustments, setting reminders, making notes on where you parked or which locker you used, etc. etc.

    Having a calendar snapshot is nice for when you're rushing around offices forgetting where you're supposed to be at any given moment. Glance at your wrist and be reminded.

    In summary, if you are looking for a powerful and comprehensive fitness band to help with your fitness routine, this is the best one available. For $250 though, that might not be enough to make it a compelling purchase over a recent model Fitbit. But if you're also an office worker who wants to improve their workflow and efficiency, or just like to have a notification device on your wrist, then it is clearly worth the price tag and moderate bulk. Bonus value to Windows Phone users.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not for serious athletes
    Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2016

    I have been writing this review in my head for a few months now as I dealt with the frustration of using this while I work out. What started out as a four star rating declined to three and then two. Really I would give it one star except that it is a decent smart watch. I rarely write negative reviews because I often assume my experience might be unique, and perhaps the product should not be criticized based on my individual opinion. In this case, however, I am willing to make an exception to save other people from making the same mistake. I exercise seven days a week in the following sports: basketball, flag football, trail running, hiking, crossfit, biking, and weight training. So, I have seen how this device performs in a variety of settings, and I can tell you it is almost universally poor-performing.

    I can quickly cover the pros: alerts you to emails and texts without having to have your phone out (e.g., if you are running or cleaning around the house); the GPS seems to be accurate and largely agrees with both posted mile markers, my android GPS, and my Garmin GPS. That's it. If you are a relatively sedentary person this device might work fine for you as motivation and tracking steps/walks. If you are even relatively active, however, this device will disappoint you in so many ways.

    The negatives (in list format because there are so many):

    1) There is no way to enter any information you know about yourself to improve device accuracy. This is a small complaint compared to some that follow, but it is important to me. I have my basal metabolic rate tested annually in a performance lab for free through the university where I am employed. I burn 3,100 calories a day if I do nothing and over 4,000 on a typical day considering my activity level. This device bases its metabolic rate purely on height and weight with no consideration for how much muscle mass you have. It guesses my basal metabolic rate to be 1,830. That means it is off by 41% - a completely unacceptable number. I can hear people saying who cares given that you know how far off it is and so you can adjust the calories by hand? Well, I largely agree except remember this is the least of my complaints.
    2) The tracking of heart rate, and therefore calories, appears to be based on guessing rather than any actual measurement the device performs. I run a trail near my house twice a week that starts out relatively flat and then begins to ascend about 1,000 feet per mile run. Naturally, my pace slows as I hit the steep portion. Miraculously, so does my heart rate. While running on flat ground at a slow warm up pace, my heart rate is about 145; I hit the mountainous region and it declines to 100-120 despite the fact that I am noticeably more out of breath and working harder. My Polar chest strap reveals an opposite pattern – a pulse of about 135 on the flat terrain and 160 on the steep hills (which logically makes more sense). Of course, because calories burned are based on your heart rate, you have the absurd outcome that you are burning less calories when working harder.
    3) Calories are not accurate even on the same run with the same split times. On the exact same 8 mile run, with the same ambient temperature and same split times, I have burned 500 calories more depending on this things’ mood – again, unacceptable inaccuracy.
    4) On a few occasions I have forgotten to turn it off after a workout only to find that, 30 minutes later, while sitting comfortably at my desk, my pulse remains at 140! If the device were accurate, I would of course need to call an ambulance. Fortunately I can check with my fingers and a watch and my actual pulse is 60.
    5) The device calculates your V02 max, but it should not even bother because it uses the only method available to it – speed and HR over X number of miles. However, if you are running hills your pace will be slower and your heart rate extremely high. My lab tested V02 max is 63; this reports it as 35.9. As with calories, this is so inaccurate that it is useless.
    6) The device started shutting itself off during workouts. I thought I had not charged it, but, then, after plugging it in, I found a full charge. I thought it was an anomaly until it happened again, and then again. I found out this was a common problem. I returned the device under warranty and received a new one (I of course lost the armor shield I paid for on my old one). My main complaint here is that I outlined all of my concerns with the device’s performance to Microsoft and asked that they call me to discuss options other than replacement. Of course, nothing. I just received the new device and no call or explanation. I understand that is largely how a warranty works, but I am also not thrilled to have another overpriced wrist watch that, according to others who have posted on the topic, will also eventually break. They’ll replace it again and again, but eventually it won’t be under warranty and you are left with nothing – not even a decent smart watch.

    My advice to anyone who is serious about fitness tracking, move on. This device will sorely disappoint you. If you only want to track steps and walks, you might be satisfied and even find it to be a decent smart watch.
