Microsoft Band

[MangoGuy]

Hi all,

Not sure if this has been seen before so apologies if it has or I've posted it in the wrong forum

But I have just come across this Microsoft Band iOS, Android & Windows Phone Activity Tracker - Medium

You can now pre order the band in the UK i have emailed them to see if they have a date but I don't think they will yet

Cheers
Martin

Oh my god! I've been toing froing between the fitbit surge and basis peak because the band isn't available in the UK. Now I've got to choose between 3! Can someone help me decide. I've watched and read so many reviews my head is spinning. With each review the exact opposite of each other! "the band is uncomfortable and highly inaccurate hr monitoring" ...and then you can read the same and opposites about the surge and peak too! Someone help. Oh and the news about the acer and swatch smartwatch coming up.

Well I've preordered! Wait and see now I guess.

Cool, any new on when you'll get it, I've gone for a fitbit surge in the meantime and is working out pretty well

 

[parksy78]

Me too. I've had the surge about 2 weeks now. Hopefully the notifications won't take long to implement.

Yeah lets hope soon the notifications will work then it will be similar to the band, although the band is better, I did have when I was last in the states I bought one but the catch on the strap broke and had to get a friend over there to send it back for me I ended up getting my money back I do miss it though

Did Mobilefun take your payment for the pre-ordered MS Band and have they given any idea yet on when it's available?

Paul.

No they haven't taken any prepayment. But I paid with PayPal. Ive got my surge now but with the news that the band is available April i do t know what to do. The surge is very comfortable which according to reviews is the opposite of the band. But I would like Cortana.

Have pre ordered a band from amazon so the warranty will now be covered and sold the surge

 

[parksy78]

Ive preordered the band off amazon too and had my RMA number this week for the surge so its going in the post today

 

[parksy78]

So I've had the refund for my surge. Hopefully amazon will send out the band early!

My band has been despatched today
