Microsoft’s first fitness tracker was a clunker, but the Band 2 is more refined, with a comfortable design and a thoughtful software platform that has gotten better over time. Even so, there are still some kinks Microsoft needs to work out, and the short battery life in particular might be a dealbreaker for some. The newly redesigned Microsoft Band 2 is more curved, and softer and comfier to wear.
这款Microsoft Band 2代，配置了一块1.36英寸的AMOLED弧形显示屏，屏幕表面覆盖康宁大猩猩3代玻璃，分辨率达到320 x 128，显示非常清晰。微软手环之所以被称之为神器，是因为内置了众多传感器，这第二代也不例外，光学心率传感器、三轴加速计、陀螺测试仪、GPS、环境光线传感器、紫外线传感器、皮肤温度传感器、电容传感器、皮电反应传感器、气压计等。尽管这款手环不具备防水功能，但却足以应对用户常规的运动，除了洗澡和游泳之外，这款手环足以应对大多数使用场合。除了出色的健身追踪功能以外，Band 2 还可以作为一款智能手表使用。它可以和智能手机进行连接，从而显示包括来电、短信、Twitter、Facebook、股票、天气以及附近的星巴克（Starbucks）咖啡店等信息。在咖啡店购买咖啡时，你甚至还可以通过手环上的条形码进行支付。此外，Band 2 音乐控制功能，用户可以通过手环非常方便地控制手机上的音乐播放设备。Band 2 的续航时间大概为 2 天，每天仅需为 Band 2 充电 20 分钟即可使设备的电量恢复到 70%~80％的水平，通过 USB 接口充电一小时后，手环即可满电。全平台支持也是微软手环的一大亮点，升级后支持中文推送！

- This is a great band. The activity tracking works great. Heartrate measurement is good enough for my use. Battery life hasn’t been a problem. Screen is great and easy to see and use. Notifications are more useful than I thought they would be. One thing no one seems to emphasize is this is also a golf GPS device. For me, it’s a great added feature that almost no other tracking devices offers.
- When I look at the competitive landscape and read the reviews of all the competitors out there, including the Fitbits, Apple Watch, Samsungs, Motorolas, and Pebbles, I’m very at peace with decision to go ALL-IN with the Microsoft Band.
- Ultra comfortable, works in the background. Genius design. Tracks heart rate without the need of an annoying chest strap. Built in barometer provides far more accurate calorie expenditure than competition. Really it’s everything a smart watch should be. The messaging notifications and calendar tiles are very nice added bonus to this fitness focused tracker. Most importantly, it provides excellent DAILY tracking of nearly all fitness and personal health metrics with exception to calorie consumed.
- I wish I could give this device a good review, but I can’t. The software is still a work in progress, but it’s usable. The hardware, well, my watch broke after only two months. The rubber strap separated like a bad tire. I did ware it every day, but again just over two months.
- I wore this band everyday from Nov. 6th or so till Jan 1st. Product started coming apart where the electronics meet the soft area of the band. Sent off for replacement and I’m being told it’s not covered…There’s a weak spot in the design and It’s my fault it’s falling apart after 2 months. Interesting. I’m an avid lifter and used this band to track my heart rate, had protection all around it and took great care of it.I have escalated my complaint to Microsoft corporate office so we’ll see.
- Battery life is still short.
I have been using the Microsoft Band 2 for three days and have been thoroughly impressed!
