    No MS Band 3.0 for 2016?

    I doubt that MS will release a smartwatch.

    Band 2 getting discontinued

    I agree that if it was being discontinued we would of heard it by now. As to band 3 it probably won't be out till next year from what rumor is saying. And we won't hear about it for a few more months anyways. So I myself would just ignore that best buy rep.

    My Band 2 Bluetooth won't turn on

    you didnt have to lose the bands data. you could of installed the Band Sync App on pc/mac and sync it to get accurate data. ad to the bluetooth you probaby need to take a trip to the MS id you have one or wait a week for turnaround via snail mail.

    Battery Stretch feature for long workouts

    well the GPS saver only takes samples and isn't on the entire time like it would be if its off. In that sense if you are on a path and has twists and turns it wont see that and you'll need to put it on the full GPS. Only reason why gps is there with the runs, biking, and such is to see how fast...
