To recap

The Band 2 has heaps and heaps of potential. It offers everything you’d want in an activity tracker and more. Without wearability in terms of comfort and a slick design that looks good on however, the Band 2 can’t complete the task it sets out to do. A few more improvements on the design and Microsoft could have a winning device, but the Band 2 isn’t quite there yet, hindered yet again by form not function.
