microsoft band windows phone tracker health
Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system has largely missed out on the smartwatch and fitness tracker fun, but with the new Microsoft Band it's finally in the game. And what's more, the Band actually works with more than just Windows-based mobiles: it syncs with your iPhone or Android phone too.
In terms of features, the Microsoft Band covers the field. It has common fitness tracker features like step tracking and more premium features such as GPS and a heart rate monitor. And it also offers features more typically found in smartwatches such as a colour touchscreen, notifications and payments when you're in Starbucks.
If that sounds good to you, then there's more good news: it's available today. That's if you're in the US and you have a spare $199; UK and Australian prices haven't been announced, but the US price converts to around £125 or AU$230.
The plastic band boasts an adjustable strap and a full-colour touchscreen. It's dust- and splash-resistant and powered by two 100mAh rechargeable lithium-ion polymer batteries that give you 48 hours on standby.
Don your running shoes or hop on your bike and the Band uses GPS to record the route you've run, biked, or hiked. There's a stopwatch and lap timer when you're on the track. You can set a target for the number of steps or calories you want to burn through in a day, or follow guided workouts set by experts the likes of Gold's Gym or Men's Health.
Even when you're not working out the Band is looking out for you: it monitors your heart rate 24 hours a day, records how long and how well you sleep and how often you wake, and checks UV levels when you're going out in the sun.
