The editors didn't like

  • 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

  • It has mediocre battery life
  • It's not swim-friendly
  • Bluetooth syncing and pairing can be buggy

  • Needs more apps
  • Clunky and unattractive design which can be painful to wear
  • Especially at first
  • Short battery life means you'll not be able to wear it 24/7 as suggested
  • Pricey for a fitness tracker but probably more suited to the sportswatch or training aid sector
  • Hi

  • La Microsoft Band funciona con teléfonos Android, iOS y Windows; mide tu ritmo cardíaco todo el día; tiene un abanico impresionante de notificaciones inteligentes; viene con GPS incluido para tus carreras y puede descargar sugerencias de planes de ejercic
  • 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

  • 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...
