Thanks to the Microsoft Band, it looks like I’m probably okay. I should go to the doctor to check that I have a good heart rate – let’s hope the Microsoft Band is accurate enough! I do know from this Telegraph article, “ How fast your heart beats predicts if you will die early“, that if my heart rate is high, I might be heading for an early death. I did a little bit of research into other people’s experiences with the Microsoft Band sleep app, and found this German guy, René Schulte, has written up a great blog post comparing the data from the sleep app to the data from a real sleep lab. I’ve learned so much about my boring old sleep and I’m now fascinated by it. I never would have known this without the sleep app. My wife gets up early to take our daughters to their swimming sessions and I never hear her – but maybe I do wake up for brief periods and don’t recall it. As far as I’m concerned, I never wake up. Note: Only works on a Windows Phone as you need Cortanaįigure: Uly was shocked to learn that even though he’d slept for almost 6 hours, only 19 minutes of that was “restful sleep”!Īs you can see in the figure above, it shows you how many times you wake up in the night. It’s so convenient when you don’t want to reach for your phone. VIDEO: If you get a text message you can use the ‘quick reply’ function to reply by voice. You speak to your hand, it transcribes it to a text message and you just confirm it got it right. Unfortunately “quick response” is not available for iPhone. Note: the text message “quick response” feature is only if you are using Windows Phone or Android. The band will even allow you to send a text message-based ‘quick response’ to your caller to let them know you are busy. Don’t have time for the phone call? No worries. This gets even better for women who keep their phone in their handbag and miss important calls (like my wife!). That meant I got to update this rule, “ Do you keep your phone on vibrate?”. I couldn’t believe it – this solves a common problem that I’ve heard over the years at staff reviews: one of the complaints that pops up is other team members having loud ring tones. It connects with your phone, and vibrates on your wrist when you receive a call. When I bought the Microsoft Band, I thought of it as a replacement for my FitBit, not as a replacement for my phone, but I’ve grown to feel like it’s a notification device that allows my phone to stay in my pocket. You can keep your phone on silent permanently There’s a whole suite of things to love about the Microsoft Band 2 – from the cool scrolling user experience, the attractive full-color touch screen, the inbuilt GPS tracker, Cortana integration, even UV monitoring, and so much more – but I want to try to keep this brief, so I’ll focus on my *favorite features*: 1. This review brings together their feedback as well as my own – the good and the bad. Of course, they’ve all had different scenarios and each have given different opinions of the quirks and foibles of the device. It’s been enlightening to hear everybody’s experiences over the last month. I picked up a bundle of bands at the new Microsoft store to give to the guys at SSW.
