SGNL band - so cool that Microsoft should buy it to pair with S Phone.

Check out the SGNL band. Microsoft should buy them to replace the MS Band and complement that New Surface Phone. Two groundbreaking techs at once. How do we let MS know about it - although they likely do already.

It seems more realistic that, if MS were to buy any wearables company, and this rumour had some credit at one stage, it should be Fitbit.

Yeah, fitbit are popular. Xiaomi mi band 2 is so cheap by comparison though.

I'd rather Microsoft next wearable be an actual smartwatch running the new Cortana with Microsoft bot framework intergration.
Apart from basic fitness stats, speech makes more sense to me, on a watch, than touch.

But for that, the above band would be useful - provided it actually works well.

That way us free and mobile people can ditch the glass bricks. Anything that can do what a smartphone can, but is less intrusive, bulky etc, would be great (but not fiddly like touch is on a smartwatch)
