The editors didn't like

  • Versteht sich mit Android, iOS und Windows Phone, Sehr viele Sensoren, Verhältnismäßig leicht
  • Trageart und sitz nicht jedermanns Geschmack, USonly Produkt, Schief eingesetztes Display
  • Das Microsoft Band ist eine gelungene Mischung aus Smartwatch und Fitness-Tracker, das für Microsoft typisch als öffentlicher Beta-Test und als Proof of Concept in die Ladenregale ging und auch sofort ausverkauft war. Mehr als eine Smartwatch mit Android...

  • Stevig en draagt erg prettig, 2 dagen op een volle accu, De fitness tracker werkt prima zonder je telefoon, Niet gebonden aan 1 merk telefoons, GPS, De sensors, Geen zweetband, Microsoft HealthVault
  • Maatvoering niet voor brede polsen, Wat dikker dan mijn oude horloge, Geen 'wandel' modus, Weer een ander laad kabeltje
  • Om samen te vatten: De MS Band is een stevig apparaat, wat prettig draagt. De metingen zijn behoorlijk betrouwbaar en alle input die gegeven wordt maakt goed inzichtelijk hoe het met je (tekort aan) beweging zit. Als je eenmaal gaat bewegen, worden deze...

  • veel en nauwkeurige sensoren, draagt comfortabel, Werkt op Android, Windows Phone en iOS, Zet je aan tot meer bewegen, stand alone GPS
  • Nog net wat te lomp ontwerp, Meer apps welkom, Niet voor de privacyfanaat, Geen vervanging voor mooi horloge
  • Een vooruitstrevende crossover tussen smartwatch en fitness tracker. Veel sensoren en een goede accuduur maken de Band zeer bruikbaar voor zowel werk en thuis als bij het sporten. De horlogefan zal echter niet warm lopen voor het design en de software mag...

  • Этот браслет может очень многое, но он громоздок и недоработан. Хотя уже сейчас он очень полезен и обещает быть еще лучше, если производитель доведет его до ума. Причем не требуется делать очень сильных изменений, чтобы Microsoft Band стал очень хорошим у...

  • Лично меня браслет порадовал. Недостатка, как по мне, всего два: габариты (объясняется большим количеством всевозможных датчиков) и отсутствие поддержки кириллицы (исправится с приходом браслета в наши страны). Хотя, честно говоря, хотелось бы побольше ав...
