Sammanfattning: Microsoft has unveiled a new fitness tracker / smartwatch called the Band 2 . You can pre-order one straight away, and it costs the same as the old model: £199.99. That's the same as a Fitbit Surge : expensive for an activity tracker, but not for a smartw...
Sammanfattning: Why? Well, in terms of features, it falls between an Apple Watch and a fitness band like a Fitbit. It isn't designed to take the place of your watch, so you can wear it just some of the time, such as when sleeping or exercising, and use a “proper” watch a...

Sammanfattning: Hold on to your hats, guys: it is Microsoft vs Apple, just like the old days. In this case we are comparing the Apple Watch with its Microsoft counterpart the Microsoft Band. Wait, you hadn't heard of the Microsoft Band? Well, quite. The Band is a quirky...
Lots of sensors, GPS, rugged, decent range of notifications
Extremely unattractive, obtuse software quirks, unwieldy notifications system
The problem with wearable devices of all kinds is that while they come in all shapes, colours and forms, and lie across a broad quality spectrum, they are all -- ultimately -- judged on a pass-fail basis: do you actually want to wear it every day? And fo...
