I have been eyeing the band 2 since the release announcement. Matter of fact I almost pre-ordered one. Then came the discussions about the Microsoft sizing charts not being accurate. Based on the charts it was pointing me towards a large. I waited till my local Microsoft Store got in their displays and found out I actually needed a medium. I still didn't pick one up because I stereo to see issues popping up in this and similar forums. From inacturate heart rate monitoring, defective gps, super short battery life, dead watches, charging issues, and now mysterious cracking screens, all this has me nervous about purchasing what I feel would have been the perfect product for me. I want to get active again and the band 2 with all its health tracking and exercise assistance would be perfect. I started looking at the gear S2 and found on on Craigslist that w a s to good a deal to pass up ($120 and sold my first Gen moto 360 for $100 for a net of $20 for the S2). I still really want the band 2 but I feel the mounting issues are to many. I know that I could get the $39 device protection but based on all the issues I'm reading about that shouldn't be nessesary. I know the forums probably represent a smaller percentage of all the actual purchases but I've never won the lottery but I feel there is a high probability of getting not just one defective unit but potentially a few before getting the perfect device. Not sure a software update can fix all the noted issues. I'm afraid I will have to wait for a band 3 if Microsoft even decides to continue with the line.
