Microsoft introduced the Microsoft Band fitness tracker for US$ 199 few weeks back. We brought you the unboxing of the Microsoft Band recently, here we have the photo gallery of the smartband.
It has a 1.3 x 0.43-inch,320 x 106-pixel TFT LCD touch screen display. On the front there is a microphone that lets you speak out voice commands since it has Cortana integration. The Microsoft Band works with Windows Phone 8.1, Android and iOS devices. If you receive a call, you can reply using text or dismiss an incoming call. You can also reply to a message instantly with a standard quick response.
It comes in small (39mm), medium (41mm) and large (49mm) sides, and the strap is fixed. Apart from fitness tracking, it also offers automatic sleep tracking. Since it has built-in GPS, it lets you map the routes you’ve run, biked, or hiked.
The band is sweat, splash and water-resistant, but it is not completely water-proof, so you can’t wear it when you are swimming. It has Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) or skin temperature sensor and a UV sensor to measure UV radiation.
It has two 100mAh rechargeable Lithium ion batteries on the sides of the band, hence it is huge and weighs 60 grams. There are two buttons on the sides.
The charging connector is present on the back of the display.
There is a heart rate sensor at the other end of the strap that offers 24-hour heart rate tracking. It is currently on sale only in the US, but the company plans to expand to other countries in coming months.
