I have been happily using my Microsoft Band since The Beginning, which is of course 17-Nov-2014 or so. I track my activities mostly using the Run activity and my most common activity is to row about 7.8 miles every day. The update about a week ago was nice and I now use the Bike activity when I bike but continue to use the Run activity when I row.
I have noticed that the Run activity has been drastically under reported heartrate and calories in the past week or so. The normal heartrate has been consistently around 120 BPM with a max of approximately 150. The calories normally are approximately 900. In the last week or so the calories have as little as 131 and the average heartrate in the low 80s.
I always the Band at the exact same position and tightness so I don?t believe there is any slippage or other positional issues.
I note that when I use the Bike activity the heartrate and calories are actually higher than normal.
Since the Bike activity does report a high heartrate and corresponding higher calorie burn it seems that the hardware is working fine but it seems that the Run application may have changed in the update of a week or so ago. My Band is at 10.2.2612.0 09 R.
Has anyone else noticed a change in the behavior of the Run activity? Could this be a hardware issue?
