Preview microsoft band 2: the most complete smartband market

Microsoft back in the field of wearable with Band 2, one smartband provides many features and sensors, to offer really rich, superior to that available in other devices of the same price.

The first Band of Microsoft proved to be an interesting accessory but unfortunately unable to support the weight of expectations, due to an operating system still slightly immature and a very limited distribution, which did not allow to make it a credible competitor. With this second version, the Redmond corrects shooting improving the OS (obviously based on Windows 10) and adding new features, in addition to proposing a revised design compared to the original. Yet there are few details on the markets that they get, but it seems that this time Italy will be among the countries chosen by Microsoft for the arrival of Band 2.

We start talking about the design, characterized by the presence of the curved display (technology Gorilla Glass 3, size 310x102 pixels) that gives the device a sporty, yet elegant, giving a feeling similar to the bracelets and the luxury watch Women of most renowned fashion house. The aluminum trim appear sleek, discreet, taking part in the design already adopted by Nike for its FuelBand, with body-color and color steel closure. The bracelet is breathable and flexible, able to adapt to the wrist with ease, thanks to the high quality of the material used, a rubber soft and silky. Microsoft was the first band, as mentioned, plagued with some shortcomings, but it is not surprising, considering that it was an accessory launched to test the water in a new market, almost a prototype. In this case, however, things went differently and engineers in Redmond have had time and budget to study new solutions and launch an absolutely complete in every respect.

Microsoft Band 2 is the evolution of an interesting project, now reached its maturity. This is demonstrated by the presence of the GPS module, the improved integration with the voice assistant Cortana and the many features of "activity tracker," in fact exactly the same as those found in the base model, with a few additions, as it already had everything you He could want from one smartband. We find therefore the sensor for the detection of the heartbeat and the one that measures the amount of oxygen in the blood, the latter with a percentage error below 2%. This is an unusual feature for these devices and certainly not on a common smartband this range: if you think the equipment normally used to perform this function, it is amazing that it is now available in a small bracelet. Another noteworthy feature is the inclusion of the sensor that measures the temperature of the skin; in fact Microsoft did not disclose other details during the presentation and we do not know if this tool is to be considered reliable and which are operating parameters, then we remain waiting to learn more. Also present accelerometer, gyroscope, and ambient light sensor, besides the aforementioned GPS module. A park sensors definitely high and well-made, hard to find better in the market, at least at this time. Microsoft Band 2 is compatible with iOS, Android and Windows Phone / Windows 10, from this point of view, there were no substantial news, the Redmond assures that Bluetooth will not affect particularly on battery life. Moving on to the autonomy of the accessory, it should provide about two full days of use on a single charge, absolutely not bad, considering the presence of the color display. The interface is the same which we are now accustomed (Metro Windows) optimized for the small size of the screen. To mention, finally, full compatibility with the Microsoft HealthVault, which allows you to catalog all types of health information, keeping an eye on our medical records.

Microsoft Band 2 will be available from late October in the US at a price of $ 249. The only color available is black, the device is resistant to splashes and dust, while not totally waterproof, therefore forbidden to swim in the pool or soak in the shower with the band on your wrist. At the moment there is no certain information about the launch in Europe, which in all likelihood will be just in time for the holiday season.
