I am now on my third Microsoft Band in a single year. One a replacement under warranty, two of them I had purchased directly.
I love the band...or at least the theory of the Band, but the reality appears different.
Each of them has charging issues where the connector in the charging port of the band begins to wear away or corrode when you wear it all day, as if it were a normal watch. Eventually the Band ceases to charge altogether.
Also, even when the Band is in watch mode, after a few months of use, the Band begins to turn itself off without reason. All three have done this.
I do not have a physical job, working in an office, so damage due to being used roughly is not the issue here, but now the Band replacement I have only been wearing for 7 weeks is showing all these signs again, as well as the black coating peeling away and falling off in 2 separate patches.
Something must be wrong with the Design or the manufacturers quality control.
When the Band works, it looks great and I love it functions, but the longevity of the materials is becoming beyond a joke.
Has anyone else had any of these issues with their Bands? Or perhaps this next issue? (I apologise if any of what I am asking is in a popular topic or a repeat of thousands, but now living and working in China it is rare to be able to find out such things on a social network.)
The little raised lumps on the sensor in the back of the Band have caused a red lump on my wrist, and three distinct white raised spots in the exact configuration of those on the sensor. Was worried at first it might be a growth of something, but after swapping the Band onto my other wrist, the rash/mark has begun to clear up, with the exception of the 3 dots.....which actually now feel like small burn scars.
Has anyone had this issue either?
Regards
