Microsoft may not be among the first brands that come to mind when it comes to wearables but it does have a handy one in the Microsoft Band 2. The wearable was originally set to expire a couple of days ago but it looks like the company has decided to extend the offer until July 9.
The Microsoft Band 2 is being dangled for $174.99 which is $75 off the original suggested retail price. Customers who want to get hold of one can do so via the Microsoft Store, a smart wearable that should aid people who want to keep their health in check.
The Microsoft Band 2 is something that helps continuously monitor a person’s heart rate, calories burned and improve sleep. It comes armed with 11 sensors that include GPS, UV monitor and barometer, all helpful measures to track one’s activity.
Other features the Microsoft Band 2 come with include proper notifications for users such as informing them to stay hydrated and being aware of the current weather conditions, something that the “Explore” tile will be doing once the app is updated to version 2.0.4634.0 26.
Data is collected and stored by the Microsoft Band 2 as well, something that should provide owners the progress they have.
A Windows 10 Microsoft Health app adds more perks as well. The app offers customers the ability to monitor the Microsoft Health leaderboard to see how they rank against other health buffs with the same age and physique.
The app should be an ideal ally for the ones looking to keep close watch of their health, not to mention burn the calories and trim down to their desired weight level. With most wearables carrying hefty price tags, the Microsoft Band 2 should be a bargain to seriously consider at $174.99.
The offer is valid until July 9 (technically a month or so) and stands to be something folks will want to seriously consider getting.
