Although the Microsoft Band is a version 1.0 device, meaning you'll find many aspects of the device needing improvement, the band can do a lot. It tracks your heart rate, steps, walks and runs, calories burned, and tracks your sleep quality, UV exposure, and galvanic skin response measurement, which can be used to measure stress levels. That's a lot of health features, and that's not all… You also get Cortana integration (if you have a Windows Phone), built-in GPS (no phone required for running), push notifications with haptic alerts for social updates, calendar reminders and phone calls received, text and email messages, weather and financial updates.

Band Sensor Monitor for Microsoft Band
As you can see, there's a lot going on on your wrist with a device that has a resolution of 310 x 102 pixels and a battery that lasts up to 48 hours. It's all possible thanks to the sensors and software that Microsoft has packed into such a small device. Add to that Microsoft Health, Microsoft's new cloud service that's behind all the calculations and puts all the information collected to good use so you can live a healthier, more productive life.
Here you can find an overview of all the sensors included in the Microsoft Band.
Optical heart rate monitor: The Microsoft Band can monitor and report your heart rate 24/7, and fluctuations in measurements help better determine your calorie burn and improve your activity level statistics.
