The editors didn't like
Pricey
So-so battery life
Awkward design
Overall
The touchscreen interface is a big disappointment. It's not very pretty to look at and notifications are almost more of a pain than they're worth. The band isn't waterproof
So tracking your swims will never be possible
Even if a developer wante
Slightly uncomfortable
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
Short battery life
Microsoft Health isn't smart enough yet
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
Clunky design could be improved to be more comfortable and durable
Bulky
Uninspired design
Lacks diet tracking
Not enough battery life
No waterproof = no good
What am I supposed to do with all this data?
Big
And expensive
Band doesn't allow your skin to breathe very well
Only twoday battery life
Microsoft Health app lacks integration with Cortana
Windows Phone theme colors

Secondary live tiles
Transparent tiles

No speaker for au
Hefty size and odd fit makes it uncomfortable to wear
Expensive for a dedicated fitness tracker
Poor battery life
Needs to be manually set for tracking sleep
Weak water resistance construction
Requires proprietary charging cable
Notification acknowledgement not synced back to phones

La batería no dura mucho; no puedes usarla para nadar; la sincronización con Bluetooth puede ser problemática y la aplicación de salud Microsoft Health no resulta fácil de usar. Además, la precisión de seguimiento del ritmo cardíaco puede ser poco precisa
La Microsoft Band es un ambicioso primer intento que ofrece montones de prestaciones y apoyo multiplataforma, pero no es tan fácil de usar o funcional como debería....
Compatibilité avec plusieurs OS, Nombreux capteurs, Partie sportive développée
Autonomie moyenne en usage sportif, Design peu original, Écran fragile
Le Microsoft Band est donc un produit très intéressant et qui offre des fonctionnalités efficaces, qu'on souhaite l'utiliser en tant que bracelet sportif ou plus simplement comme une montre connectée pour consulter ses notifications. Son esthétique, sans ...
Fonctionne avec Android, iOS et Windows Phone, suit la fréquence cardiaque toute la journée, accès à un ensemble impressionnant de notifications, GPS intégré, téléchargement de suggestions d'entraînement.
Autonomie médiocre, pas étanche, jumelage et synchronisation Bluetooth poussif, application santé pas évidente à utiliser, précision discutable dans la mesure du rythme cardiaque
Les trackers d'activité sont légion, tout comme les montres connectées. Le Band de Microsoft ambitionne d'être le meilleur des deux catégories en se définissant comme un “bracelet de fitness intelligent”. Nous avons déjà vu d'autres produits afficha...

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
