Wear the Microsoft Band, the next big thing in fitness tracking (hands-on)

Although setup is simple and straightforward, there are many settings you can adjust on your new Microsoft Band, such as changing the theme color and wallpaper and enabling or disabling notifications and haptic alerts. Some settings you can configure directly from the tiny touchscreen, but other changes must be made using the Microsoft Health app, which you can install on your Windows Phone, iPhone, or Android phone.

The best way to get started with your band is to use the Microsoft Band getting started guide.

I hope you found this page helpful. Before you move on, I'd like to ask if you would like to support my work. As an independent site, creating content takes a lot of work and dedication, and due to the use of adblockers and AI, ad revenue is rapidly declining. Unlike many other sites, there is no paywall blocking readers here, so you can see why your help is needed. Your support allows me to continue the work I love to do. Thank you.
