It's a choice for you.. and if you don't have an issue with discontinued devices go for it with full knowledge that it will be soon obsolete, support for the app may well be minimal and the product was flawed in terms of materials used. Two B1 straps and clasp were broken, so into the trash and...

I think your post may end up being the experience of quite a few people, as it does seem on the surface that wearers must be pretty rough with the band if you haven't experienced the issue and then it happens to you and you kinda wonder how or why. Many have reported not doing extensive exercise...

Your luck will run out eventually, some owners don't come to a website site to post issues, I know my colleague didn't when his band started tearing he just called Microsoft support and opened a ticket to get it replaced . The issue is real and prevalent Microsoft are well aware of it and it is...

The design is flawed and Microsoft know this, there are post popping up on the net and their uservoice site and some foreign sites too. So quick discounting and getting rid of the stock early is probably prudent. If a problem occurs they will just replace it or conversely say that the problem...

If you buy it now it may just last long enough for Band 3 to be released before it starts to disintegrate. I've kept my replacement in the box and will probably leave it as a backup for Band 3 when it comes out, if I decide to buy it that is.

That's the frustrating thing, as my band with the broken clasp still works too but is now useless because it can't be worn.

It will only bother you further on down the road, so exchange whilst you still can.

I agree the process seems to be less painless if you are near a bricks and mortar store, if you are like me in the UK with no stores, it took almost two weeks for my defective band to be shipped, inspected and a replacement sent which is awful if you hate gaps in your training data. The Garmin...

Unfortunately you'll soon be raising the inevitable support ticket to get a replacement before your warranty runs out and the bad starts to wear. I found that once the split appeared it didn't take too long before it got worse.

Now this is what the Microsoft Band 2 should have been out of the gate, I hope this device does live up to expectations because an owner should be able to reuse a device like this after a number of years if they want too just like you and your wife have with the Vivosmart and not just have to...

Could not disagree more... We should expect Microsoft to design and make exceptional products, they are not a start up or new to manufacturing. It is not unrealistic for Microsoft to take our money and gives us value for money, stand by their warranty and/or provide a product that can be robust...

Microsoft covered my B2 with the following symptoms: 1. Heart rate sensor stopped working during normal use/sleep. 2. As a result of the above, after multiple resets it stuck on the low battery screen and would not turn on. 3. Slight tear in the strap. I take good care of and do not abuse my...

I used to wear mine continually, as probably many others do except for charging and cleaning to capture the sleep data. Very true, one of my first pedometers was a Fitbit Flex it use to fail probably due to water ingress and I must have gone through 4-5 bands before finally dumping it in the...

The inconsistency of the online customer support is one of the reasons why my new replacement is still in its box (thinking about selling it) and I'm rocking a Basis Peak at the moment. I do so love the band but it does seem to have a design flaw and I do not want to be trying to get a...

Hope you enjoy the Band 2, if you previously had the Band 1 it will certainly thing the Band 2 is what the original band should have been.
