The Microsoft Band is looking pretty nice device. I like that its not trying to be glorified watch, but a simple, yet powerful fitness band with some productive capabilities. Its packed with more sensors than any fitness band currently available, including GPS so you dont have to carry your phone during your workouts. It has a 24-hour heart monitor and can track your sleep quality, as well as steps, calorie burn, and UV scanning. It even has guided workouts from Golds Gym, in addition to integration with third-party apps like RunKeeper and MyFitnessPal. Its also cross-platform so it works with iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone, but WP user get the extra benefit of Cortana integration. I think Microsoft hit a good price at $199 and a battery life of (claimed) 48-hours on a 1.5 hour charge. Oh, and you can even pay for your Starbucks with it. I havent been interested in any smartwatches, but this I could see myself purchasing, but it wont be any time soon. Its already in stores and available to order: bit.ly/msband
