Microsoft Band 2 notification delays, how can I fix this?

Microsoft Band 2 notification delays

So I have a band 2 and a Lumia 950XL and I am forever seeing delays in notifications between what appears on my phone and what shows up on the band.

Now sometimes, things like messages come through without issues, but emails and general notifications take upwards of 10 minutes if not longer come through.

I have restarted both devices and it usually brings them back into line, but not always. Anyone else have this issue, or anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

*Also, gmail notifications are almost beyond useless, so I am not counting that*

Re: Microsoft Band 2 notification delays

I have a Band 2 and Lumia 950 and I get varied results. I did a factory reset of my phone recently (prior to that the general 'notifications' tile wouldn't work at all) and since then notifications seem to work (and be timely) more often than not, but they aren't guaranteed. When they do work the usually arrive within 1-5 seconds of my phone (every now and then they'll actually beat the phone notification, not sure how).

What you're describing sounds particularly painful and not 'normal', but I feel that even 'normal' isn't perfect.
