While waiting for yet another replacement of my Band 2, I stumbled across a video that may hold the answer to the random shut downs. A firefighter noticed that when moving his Band 2 close to his portable radio it would shut down even with full battery. This caused me to realize that my shut downs are also limited to when I'm on duty, wearing my radio.

So it appears that maybe the digital radio frequency from the portable radio is triggering some sort of event on the Band/Band 2. For those who are experiencing the issue who don't use radios, is there a common location/scenario where your band powers off? Maybe there are similar digital interferences that are causing the issues for others.
If we all try to identify potential causes, and find a common source, maybe Microsoft can issue a software patch or at least provide some form of shielding for future wearables.
