Les nombreux capteurs intégrés pour mesurer tout un tas de données. Le bracelet offre une vue claire sur de nombreux signes vitaux. Les entraînements guidés sont une fonctionnalité vraiment utile pour les débutants qui souhaitent retrouver la forme. Avoir
Finalement, l'interface tactile est une grosse déception. Elle n'est pas très agréable à l'oeil et les notifications sont davantage un handicap qu'autre chose. Le bracelet n'est pas étanche, il est donc impossible de l'utiliser en nageant, et ce même si u

A wide array of advanced sensors packed into a competitively priced wristworn device, Integrated GPS is a significant for running, biking and other outdoor activities, Strong iOS integration with syncing, informative health data readouts, and basic smartw
Clunky design could be improved to be more comfortable and durable
Priced competitively at $200, the Microsoft Band is clearly not trying to go after the same market as the Apple Watch, or even Android Wear. This is intended as a fitness and health device, and it's very much first-generation hardware, with a clunky desi...

Requires proprietary charging cable, Notification acknowledgement not synced back to phones, No desktop software and limited access to data
Dedicated daily activity trackers, smartwatches, and GPS sport watches excel at their specific functions. The Microsoft Band compromises in each of these areas, as follows, but you won't find another product that can do it all as well as the Microsoft Ban...

The Microsoft Band works with Android, iOS and Windows phones, tracks all-day heart rate, has an impressive set of smart notifications, has built-in GPS for runs and can download workout suggestions
It has mediocre battery life; it's not swim-friendly; Bluetooth syncing and pairing can be buggy; the Microsoft Health app isn't that easy to use, and learned insights seem few and far between. Heart-rate accuracy seems to be a little inconsistent, too
Microsoft Band is an ambitious first crack at a smart health wearable that throws in a ton of features and cross-platform support, but it's just not as easy to use or as functional as it should be....

Works on iOS, Android and Windows Phone, Lots of data, thanks to a raft of sensors, App has a clean design and shows promise, Connects to Cortana on Windows Phone, Guided workouts are extremely helpful
Hardware is uncomfortable and poorly designed, Microsoft Health is mostly promise, Smartwatch-like battery life, Does too many things, many of them poorly, Seriously, the Band is really uncomfortable
Despite having spent the last three years in development, the Band still feels like a proof of concept. The abundance of tech crammed inside makes it seem like Microsoft was focused on showing off all the capabilities of its new health-tracking platform, ...

Abstract: It has GPS built in — also a first for a wristband this size. If you're a runner, that could be a deal-maker: It means you don't have to carry your phone to track your run. Once the device has a chance to connect with your smartphone, its app shows you a...
Packed full of features. Tracks steps, workouts, runs, calories burned, heart rate, sleep. Includes some smartwatch functionality. Customizable screen.
Wildly uncomfortable. Not suitable for petite people. Lackluster app. Touch screen is difficult to manipulate while in motion. No tracking for bicycling. Requires a mobile phone; currently no computer syncing or Web interface. Lacks calorie-logging system
The Microsoft Band may be teeming with features not found in most other activity trackers, but none of that matters if you can't stand wearing the thing....
