How well does band work with WP

[mbrooks78]

i only ask because I have it paired with my iPhone and the integration is horrible. It loses the connection frequently and when I try to sync data it usually takes around 3 times to property show info in MS health app. Are these issues unique to the iPhone app. I'm thinking of getting a windows phone when one becomes available with my carrier.

For the limited time I used Band... its all good, no issues with my 635 or 1020.

Works great on my and my gf's Lumias. I know the syncing although not perfect is a lot better on WP than ios comparing to a friend that uses it with her iPhone 6. A few other great things about using it with a WP is the Cortana integration, texting fxn, and the several 3rd party apps sprouting up.

No issues on 830, 635 and 920.

Ok, nice to know, I wish it worked better on iOS but it is nice to see a MS product performing best on WP.

No issues AFAIK on my Android. Can't seem to connect to Cortana :wink: but other than that it's all good.

Problems here on my iPhone 6+ as well. Frequent disconnects and sync issues...

It is the first and only wearable on the market with full feature set compatibility on WP so yes it works excellent as you'd expect because WP and Band are both from one company.

I have used my Band on both a Lumia Icon and a iPhone 6+. Currently its on the iPhone.

Initially the sync and connection were fine. In the past few weeks I noticed the problems you noted. However, I believe the iPhone has had its own Bluetooth issues. Since the recent iOS update I haven't been experiencing the same problem ... or at least I haven't noticed it ... but it's only been a couple of days.

The Win Phone will give you more features with the Band, but it does not seem to work as well with the MyFitnessPal integration.

I had to move my primary work to the iPhone because several essential apps for my daily work were simply not on Windows Phone. Now I have one of each activated.

Small issue with my Lumia 830. Sometimes the BT connection, even with the icon visible on the phone screen, doesn't really have a connection. I end up exiting the health app, going into the phone settings, disabling BT, re-enable BT, and then back into the health app. Doesn't happen very often, maybe once every two or three weeks.
