I picked up a large MS Band this morning! Soooo excited for this product. I have been using Nike + products since they came out to track runs... I was previously using a Nike Fuel Band SE (XL with NO insert) and when I went for a run I used a Nike Plus Sports Watch. I love the watch but it is HUGE... great battery life even after doing a couple of runs on GPS... but it didn't track daily stuff so I needed a fuel band for that.
I have to say the prospect of a since device with built in GPS, all day step and workout tracking, and notifications just sounds too good to be true but so far the MS Band is GREAT!
Also... I have been using it since around 3:00pm EST (it's now 9:30pm ish) and I have done a 1.5 mile run WITH GPS and I have the all day heart monitor off and watch mode turned ON and I am at about 90% battery life. So the 48 hours sounds like it will probably be a pretty good estimate based on my use so far... we will see in a day or two!
I am posting some pics comparing the sizes of the devices I have... the MS band isn't really any bigger than the Nike Fuel band I have and I'll tell everyone now, the adjustable clasp it great. The fuelband only changes sizes by adding or removing a spacer from the device using a tool and the XL without a spacer was just a little too big and it always moved around on my arm. It's great to have a device fitting perfectly!
