Microsoft Band - Love it!
January 04, 2015
I've been an early adopter of the Fitbit. I currently have two here around the house.
I have switched to the Microsoft Band, and yeah, I have two. Here's why (and why I had two fitbits).
I've been known to do one of two things:
- Leave the house without my fitness device.
- Let the battery completely run out.
And yes, you can switch between two devices, though I think the Fitbit is a little harder. I do know by accident that it is easy to do the Microsoft band, but wasn't the first time. The first couple of times I had to reset my Microsoft band, I lost my data. However, now you don't but I'm wonder if it's because I had the other one on the charger.
My favorite thing to do is put it on the charger and then leave the house without it. I had my first Microsoft band in the truck -- it's screen is scratched up. So I decided to give it a try. I disconnected the Windows Phone from the band, then I reconnected the new one. Takes a few minutes, but my data was still there!
I've done it a couple of times now, with no issues. Even remember what tiles I had set up. Only problem is that I have to remember to turn on watch mode.
I like it much better than the Fitbit. I do wish you could go back and put the start and end times of sleep and exercise activity. You could do that with the fitbit.
