I believe the materials work just fine, as long as you have an appropriately sized Band.
It will at some point but it doesn't today, and for what it can do
today, which is when the money will be spent, it doesn't. Anything else is navel gazing and wishful thinking. Again, I wanted like anything to like the Band for a long time but after 2 failed attempts, it simply costs me too much to engage in my fantasy of "all Microsoft all the time". So I had to more on from this health/fitness solution.
Its painful but that doing the same thing expecting a different result makes me a fool and my momma didn't raise no fool.
Maybe you have a budget for it but I cannot afford these expenditures especially when I know Microsoft and I both know how weak these materials are.
One thing they should do with Band 3 is make the bands replaceable. Because the bracelets are worthless.
