A few people very unhappy with the Vivoactive HR. MB 2 mentioned... claims to be more reliable in this area: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?349833-Vivoactive-hr-One-week-in-I-m-disapointed/page3

The only thing that interests me about Garmin's new device is auto-activity tracking. How does that work?

Sent you a PM.

I'm in a similar position... I'm assuming we become "friends" on facebook first, right?

I really do like the Band, a lot, but as a cyclist (who cycles for transport and exercise) I really would love an auto-tracking feature a la Fitbit Blaze and Garmin Vivoactive HR. Has this topic/feature ever been mentioned as a possibility for the Band?

As mentioned in other posts, HR on Band2 is currently outperforming my former Polar a360 and Fitibit Blaze. While exercising, I wear it 2 inches above wrist bone, inside arm, and tight (but not cutting circulation)

Re: Can Microsoft Band 2 Send an Alert or Notification for HRV? I'm not the following... measuring/tracking HRV requires more than an monitoring HR. How are people doing this?

But there's so much to love about this product... hardware and software. I'm bloody impressed. For now.

I almost did the same, before purchasing the Band 2. But a cursory look at their forum - https://forums.garmin.com/forumdisplay.php?556-vivosmart-HR - and you'll discover a number of metrics that are way off base, and numerous complaints about their elevate optical HR sensor (the same sensor...

Curious to hear which metrics** you find most helpful to track your fitness goals and progress. There's a lot offered, and I'm not sure where to start. ** on the MS health site

Thanks!!

Hi Brian. No - MS health was the only site taking forever this evening. Must be on their end. Good to know this isn't a chronic issue.

Purchased Band2... so far, it's an impressive fitness wareable. Previously, I've owned (and returned) the Polar a360 and Fitbit Blaze. MS health online site is incredible, but it's SO slow to load (at least this evening). Is this the typical speed of the Health site? One other question... if...
