Please keep this to pics of your OTHER wearable devices.
Since some of this forum is getting a little redundant with post about size gate, scratch gate, shipping gate etc. I thought this would be something fresh.
Post a pic of you wearing your Other Wearable if you own one, and maybe a little bit about it. And if your still using it. I'll start.
While waiting [ impatiently ] for the roll out of the Apple Watch I started looking at other smart watches/trackers.
I settled on the Microsoft Band ($199). Albeit it was fairly new (released fall 2014) it had some promising features and a wealth of sensors that could make it real interesting down the road.
It seems to work pretty well as a fitness tracker and has some nice smartwatch features also, although some of them are limited when connected to a iPhone.
It will show me caller ID or contact name if it's stored in my phone, a few lines of incoming emails and text messages, notifications, weather, Facebook notifications, Twitter, UV exposure , heart rate and THE TIME! Lol along with other fitness related items.
Band is not real aesthetically pleasing however I don't think it looks that bad IMHO. Most people wear it with the screen on the inside of the wrist and that's how I like it. I do find it comfortable to wear after the first 24 hours of getting used to it. The battery last a solid 2 days being on constantly. You can have the time displayed all the time if you choose too, that cuts the battery down to 1 1/2 days.
Overall I'm am very pleased with the band. Now that I have the AW, I use the band for sleep tracking, which it does very well, whilst my AW is charging overnight. Sometimes I really miss wearing the band during the day for some odd reason, maybe because it is a kind of a cool piece of tech, but it doesn't compare to the expanded functionality of my Apple Watch.
