Microsoft has made some important improvements with the Band 2. It's much, much more comfortable – so much so that I've been wearing this version all day, every day without noticing it. It does still get caught on shirt sleeves, far more so than the Garmi...
The Microsoft Band 2 is an interesting device with a range of functions and its clear curved screen makes it a pleasure to use. It wears like a watch, which is fine for every day use, but it is uncomfortable to wear to bed or during some exercise routines...
Loads of features, accurate activity tracking, good GPS tracking, compatible with main operating systems (Android, iOS and Windows), good notification alerts, slick interface, app offers useful insights
Uncomfortable to wear, bulky, battery life not great for an activity tracker, heart rate readings sometimes questionable, expensive, feature limitations on Android and iOS, Health app could look better
If taken on its features alone, the Microsoft Band 2 would be the smart band to beat, because it offers more than most of the competition out there. The problem, however, is that the Band 2's design still isn't good enough. An activity tracker or s...
Tracks a lot of stats, Caters for plenty of sports, Fits better than the original Band
Struggles with iOS, Two day battery life, Smartwatch functionality is limited
Owning a Band 2 may convince you to get a sweat on more often than usual So the Band 2 is far from perfect. When you consider its price is more than double several other trackers, that alone could put you off owning one. Just as you might appreciate Ars...

The Microsoft Health software is really the star of the show. There's apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, and also a central web portal. It's all managed using your Microsoft ID, so setup is fairly painless. The cross-platform syncing happens effort
The hardware is still too uncomfortable to wear day-to-day, and that's a big problem for something you're meant to leave on while sleeping. The screen orientation leaves me bending my neck to try and tell the time. It's also still not waterproof; Microsof
There's a whole plethora of fitness trackers out there, some of which have all the same sensors that the Band is packing around the same £200 price. They also come in packages that look prettier and don't slowly eat your wrist over the course of a day. In...

Impressive feature list and app, Smartwatch skills, Great display, Multi-sport support and GPS
Uncomfortable design, Golf features are terrible, Battery life is mediocre, Not waterproof
The Microsoft Band 2 is miles better than the Redmond company's first effort. But that's not saying much. Again, it's the design that lets it down again. Yes, it looks nicer and yes, it is a little bit comfier but you still feel like you've been handcuffe...
