Microsoft is one of the biggest tech and Software Company in the entire known tech world. They have been known for their advanced and easy Software's and recently they have dipped their toes on wearable technology, specifically a fitness/smart watch, which they call Microsoft Band.
Now, Microsoft is releasing their newest model of the Microsoft Band, the Microsoft Band 2 and this time around they have up their software system with more specs than the last one.
The market today has been dominated by several smartwatches from brands Samsung, Apple, Nike and many more, wherein they aim more versatility and easier navigation for their users. Microsoft is doing the same but what they truly aim for on this new Microsoft Band is the fitness tracker.
This isn't a new idea, but the fact that the Microsoft Band 2 has more options in their fitness tracker than most of the smartwatches out on the market today makes them a big threat to the other mega-companies.
Microsoft Band 2, which is to be released this Oct. 31, has a UV tracker that is built on the clasp and can easily monitor the sun intake of the user.
The Band also counts carbs burned rather than calories burned during workouts making it into a highly advance and sophisticated fitness tracker.
The watch is also customizable; the user can choose what he/she wants to see on the horizontal screen of the watch. The users can also find workout suggestions and monitor their activity history.
What is more amazing when it comes to the Microsoft Band 2 is that it has details about the recovery period of a user after a workout. With specs that monitor the peak and resting heart rate, which is a key indicator for overall health.
Microsoft Band 2 will be sold at a price of $249, this is $50 more than the last Microsoft Band, but with the specs that come with it, it might be worth it for the fitness addicts.
