Within health and fitness, there is rapid innovation occurring around wearable devices with smart sensors that are telling us more about our lives. Also launching today is the Microsoft Band, a smart band designed for Microsoft Health, for people who want to live healthier and be more productive.
Microsoft Band, the first device powered by Microsoft Health, helps you achieve your wellness goals by tracking your heart rate, steps, calorie burn, and sleep quality. It also helps you be more productive with email previews and calendar alerts - right on your wrist.
Designed to be worn 24 hours a day by people who are active both in the gym and on the job. The Microsoft Band has 10 smart sensors for 24-hour heart rate monitoring, calorie burn measurement, advanced sleep quality tracking and more as well as Guided Workouts curated by Gold’s Gym, Shape, Men’s Fitness and Muscle & Fitness. The Microsoft Band will keep you connected at a glance with helpful, smart notifications including incoming calls, emails, texts and social updates as well as access to Cortana.
Works with the Phone You Own
iPhone, Android, or Windows Phone? Microsoft Band is designed to be awesome on multiple platforms.
Live Healthier
Microsoft Band makes it easier to reach your fitness goals. You can track your daily physical activity and review your stats with a glance at your wrist. Just like a personal trainer, Microsoft Band guides you to improved wellness by constantly learning about you, your current fitness level, and your future needs.
Be More Productive
Email previews and calendar alerts appear right on your wrist so you know what you have to do and where you have to be even on the go. And with help from Cortana, your productivity will soar.
Cortana at Your Service
If you're using Windows Phone 8.1, ask Cortana to take notes or set reminders with your voice. She'll give you driving directions and keep you on top of traffic, sports, stocks, weather, and more. She is ready to help whenever you need it.
Stay Connected at a Glance
Incoming calls, texts, social updates, weather, finance, and more - see them all on your wrist, discreetly and without needing to pull out your phone.
Plays Well with Others
Microsoft has established partnerships with key service providers who embrace their vision of healthier living. Microsoft Health as a platform will be strengthened by broader collaboration from device and service partners. See how connecting to the partners they have today can make your Microsoft Band experience even more amazing.
