Re: If MS Abandons us, what will you get next? Ahum, could you expand on this? What is GATT? And what is WP?

I just received an update for my android phone with the news that the app is not called MS Health anymore...

Interestingly, MS Health now tells me my max heart is 167. So checking my first post on this, it went up from 150 to 167 within a month...

Okay, I am now getting more worried: I did some testing and it seems to me that the band uses the max heart rate somehow to cap/distort the measurement. I used a stationary bicycle with its own heart rate monitor, which i initially set to take me to a hr of 165. The band 2 pick ups the heart...

Well, I am definitely no marathon runner. And if a marathon runner's max heart rate is reportedly 156 then I still feel pretty good with 150. Yet as of today the MS Health Dashboard now reports 149. Oh bummer and I did not even have my birthday... So that show me that they certainly don't do the...

Thanks Nate, very nice of you to reply to my thread; I always much liked your comments and discussions and I am happy you are still sticking to the Band 2. I was positively surprised with the BBC test as reported on the thread...

well, i did this exercise on a stationary bicycle with its own heart monitoring and this went over 180 as well as at many other occasions. but i am just trying to make the point that the maximum heart rate as reported by microsoft health is totally ludicrous in my case. it says 150, where i...

Hi, There seems to be something weird with my maximum heart rate in microsoft health. Under the comparisons, it lists my maximum heart rate as 150. The band regularly registers and records a heart rate over 180. So does anybody know what is going on here? This is microsoft's explanation...

How did you get the withings scale to sync with MS Health Vault? I really would like to set this up, but even withings customer service told me they had no plan in supporting this: Hello, Thank you for your question about importing your data into Health Vault from Withings. At this time...

I experienced such smoothing also with the Band 1. BTW how, in your every day use, do the two compare?

Hi, I have recently experienced drop outs in the heart rate when reviewing my runs (see picture). I am relatively sure that the heart rate did show up on the band during my run, but it then seems to have been lost during sync. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I am in Germany too. Did you buy your band in the UK or in the US? Did they ask for the original receipt?

It now happened to me too. How long lasts the warranty? Do I need a receipt of the original purchase when I take it in (The band was a gift)? Best, Danckel

Did I miss this or is this new? I just noticed that I can now delete data in the ms health on the web (and give names to my recordings). Is this new or did I just never see this before? best, Danckel

Does anybody have some reliable information about how many Band microsoft has actually sold (or produced for that matter)? I am just curious how successful this product is in actual numbers. My (very superficial) google searches did not lead to anything. Best, Danckel
