Microsoft Band 2 Shipping

[Zane Keniston]

On FedEx truck and out for delivery today!

 

[pavvento]

Both my packages (care and band) are scheduled to arrive today from different locations. Has anyone received the package for Microsoft complete? Is it just paperwork or is it like with V1 where you get a screen protector and Starbucks gift card?

Mine got bumped back to Monday so I went to my local MS Store and walked out with a Band 2. Syncing and updating now.

btw Im glad I tried one on in store - I used the sizing guide and was borderline - medium was too big even at tightest setting. So I went with a small. I'm 5' 10" athletic build. There's now a lot of extra track on the clasp, but with running being my primary exercise I wanted to be sure it would be tight on my wrist for HRM accuracy

Did you have Band 1 and if so which size did you have? I'm wondering about sizing too. I'm hearing across the board they do fit larger than the previous gen. But any fitness band I've ever worn has always been large so wondering if I'll be good or will I have to end up exchanging.

 

[Likwidz]

Hmmm..I preordered two Bands so I assume the two tracking numbers I have are one for each. As of right now one has just been updated and is being delivered today instead of Mon but the other is still showing it being at a Regional Hub instead of locally?! I hope they just forgot to scan the second package :\

Mine just got dropped off at my house just before 10am. I might need to take the afternoon off. Can't wait!!

Fedex just dropped mine off an hour ago, it was a nice surprise

Immediate impressions are the screen seems more narrow, probably because of the curve. Charged from 50% to 100% in 15 minutes with a 1.5A charger. Functions almost identical to the original band but noticeably quicker and is comfortable enough to let me forget it's there. Good luck to everyone else waiting, was not expecting such a fast delivery.

I wore a medium Band 1 with about two clicks left at the clasp

My Band 1 was a medium and I wore it with about two clicks left

Grrrrrr......I wore a medium on the Band 1, and usually was one of the last 3 clicks for the most comfortable fit. I ordered another medium for the Band 2, so bracing myself for having to send back to get a small. I don't have a MS store anywhere in my vicinity (SC) so ordered via Best Buy so it would be more convenient to return and get a small. It is on the way, so Best Buy has shipped. Should have it on Monday. I sure hope I don't have to return it, but getting my mind in the mode to have to do that.

It really became a judgement call for me. The small Band 2 is pretty darn small. In a medium I was clicked pretty much all the way tight. With a small, I am clicked a couple of clicks from all the way open...

Thanks.....it does sound like it will be a judgment call once I'm able to try it on. There are times I really don't like it to be that tight on my wrist, so I do want a little bit of extra room. Fingers crossed.

Suppose I should have paid for 2 day or next day. Mine is literally sitting 1.5 miles away and fed-ex wont give it to me till the 2nd. ERR!! lesson learned.

 

[Fuzzymemo]

my Band 2 has arrived at my house (10:18AM), still 5+hr of work left in the day, FML FWP.

Also, how much did you guys paid for yours? I got mine at $166, Dell Business 10% off + $140 Dell GCs (Raise.com - 2 cards, $125+$15, ~12%) + $100 Dell GCs (eBay, sold old 920, promo matched sale price of $59 coupon code) = ~$166 (+ 1% CC points)

It might be down to the local sorting facility now, if they can be bothered getting them on the trucks and delivered. Mine is still showing today as the delivery date even though it's still apparently at the sorting facility. The only change is that the "by 10:30am" bit has disappeared.

 

[golfingasu]

Mine just got to the house! Bad news is I'm at work.

My two size small Band 2's (wife + mine) were just delivered and I'm at home today .
Mine is updated and on my wrist! So comfortable compared to Band 1.
FYI: I'm 5'9" and 165lb and the size small is loose on my wrist on the loosest setting and snug at about halfway.
Hooray for fast FedEx shipping!

Ordered mine on the 7th... then cancelled and re-ordered on the 17th (student discount and went from i5 to i7 on sp4), and the band should be delivered today. At 6', 190, I went with the medium size. Hoping it fits!

 

[uselessrobot]

I remember being about in the middle on medium for the first generation . However, according to the printout for the Band 2 I'm pretty much right on the line between small and medium. I went with medium so I hope I don't end up having to exchange it.

Got mine this morning.

Heads up, I had to sign for it otherwise FedEx would not have left it. (which at this price point, is a bit unusual)

Yah, I'm a little erk'd at that. I went in before delivery and set no signature required option and they still didn't drop it off. Now I have to take a trip to their hub after work.
